Podcast
A Slam Dunk for College Basketball Stats (15:22)
No one is keeping a closer eye on the NCAA Final Four than Ken Pomeroy,
who has turned his hobby of analyzing basketball stats into one of
college sports' most talked-about websites. He's created a brand that is
no longer merely a labor of love, but is also an increasingly mainstream
and lucrative outlet. Pomeroy talks about the evolution of kenpom.com,
the science of paywalls, and the prospect of pulling a Nate Silver.

Today's Story Highlights
Trusteer Ventures Into the Chinese Hackers' Den
China has a reputation as a center for international hacking, so why
would a U.S. security company want to set up shop there? Before hackers
launch their international escapades, they typically cut their teeth in
their local markets, explained Rakesh Loonkar, president of Trusteer,
which announced last week that it was opening an office in China.

The Next Big Thing in Smartphones: Multiple Video Camera Support
I've been meeting with a number of companies that build video-editing
software, and I've been becoming increasingly concerned that we aren't
at all ready for a world in which nearly every car and every head has a
streaming camera attached to it. Regardless of whether we are prepared
or not, I think it likely that the next big smartphone feature will be
the ability to stream multiple cameras at once.

France Implicated in Wikipedia Censorship Threat
Intelligence agents for the Direction Central du Renseignement Intérieur
-- France's top intelligence agency -- were accused of censorship after
threatening to arrest and charge a Wikipedia volunteer. The hubbub
originated with an article that contains classified military secrets,
according to operatives, and ergo is a threat to national security.

Facebook Home: Brilliant Stroke or Desperate Measure?
Political and economic news from around the globe may bombard us with
annoying regularity here in the tech community, and as most of us know,
the news is almost always bad. That, of course, is why it's such a good
thing we have Facebook to filter out what we don't want to hear. It's
also why we all waited in rapt attention for the Facebook Home
announcement.

CaptureAudio Will Make You Shout Its Praises
Sometimes I hang on to using the Apple-bundled iPhone apps with a
maniacal fervor. Unfortunately, this means that I get into a rut with an
Apple app -- despite its limitations -- and I avoid trying new apps.
Yes, this means I can keep better track of what Apple is up to. On the
flip side, why should I create extra work, just so I can identify when
Apple ditches the skeuomorphic microphone from its solid but utterly
lifeless Voice Memos app?
