Podcast
The UK's Bloody Mad Blogosphere Battle (14:48)
The phone hacking scandal in the UK prompted a far-reaching
investigation into the practices and ethics of the British media.
Arrests have been made, jobs lost, and new laws proposed. However, some
bloggers argue the legislation is unclear about what constitutes a
"relevant publisher," and that they could become ensnared by stringent
regulations meant for major media companies.

Today's Story Highlights

BioShock Infinite Raises the Roof
Video game franchises typically run a predictable course. Create
something unique, and if it's a hit, crank out a few more of the same.
This is why some good series eventually stumble. Irrational Games likely
pondered this when it began developing the second sequel to the
groundbreaking BioShock . How do you follow-up a smash game that takes
players to a strange and fascinating underwater city?

Apple Apologizes to Chinese Customers Following Media Beatdown
Apple CEO Tim Cook apologized Monday to Chinese customers over the
company's warranty policy, adding that he would improve customer service
in China, which is now Apple's second-biggest market. The apology may be
linked to a mid-March television special that aired on "Consumer Rights
Day," claiming Apple's Chinese customers were treated worse than their
Western counterparts.

Court Rules Broadcasters Can't Pull the Plug on Aereo
Aereo, a startup that streams TV content to Web-connected devices with
the use of tiny antennas, won another legal battle Monday in its war
with broadcast networks. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals
affirmed a district court's ruling that denied 17 broadcasters a
preliminary injunction against Aereo on the grounds that streaming TV
content to individual subscribers does not constitute a public
performance.

Snagit's a Slick Screen Grabber
For many Mac users, screen grabbing tools provided by OS X are adequate.
If you need to snatch a full screen, shift-command-3
will suffice. If you want to carve out a section of your display,
there's shift-command-4. However, some Mac jockeys need to go beyond
those simple grabbing techniques. For those users, there's Snagit 2.

Russian Clampdown on Web Content Raises Red Flags
The Russian government is using a law passed last year to restrict
online content, and three major social networks have
removed content authorities deemed objectionable. The Russian
law created a blacklist of sites containing child pornography,
drug-related and extremist posts, and other illegal content.
Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have removed the offensive material, but
YouTube is filing a lawsuit over the matter.
