Podcast
The Dawning of the Predictive Business Era (26:05)
A momentous shift in business strategy is taking place. Big Data, cloud
computing and mobility, in tandem, are having an enormous impact on how
businesses must act -- and react -- across their markets. The agility
goal of real-time responses is no longer good enough. What's apparent
across more business ecosystems is that businesses must extend their
ability to react well into the future.

Today's Story Highlights

Encryption Lets NSA Store Your Email Forever
If you want to prolong your email's stay with the NSA, just encrypt it.
Among the documents leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden is one
describing the National Security Agency's treatment of communication it
intercepts authored by U.S. citizens. In short, if the domestic
communication is in plain text, it has a five-year shelf life. If it's
encrypted, though, the agency can keep it forever.

KeyCue, Secret Spy Folder Fight the Good Fight
Keyboard shortcuts can be a way to accelerate productivity, but their
number can be overwhelming. The average OS X app alone has from 40 to 80
menu shortcuts. That's a lot of memorization for one program, let alone
the multitude of programs an average user runs on a Mac. Wouldn't it be
nice if, with a single key press, all the shortcuts for a program would
pop up on your screen?

MongoDB's Eliot Horowitz: The Database Renaissance Has Begun
NoSQL technologies are giving the database landscape a new look as they
steadily push a shift from the relational database model. Young entrants
to the alternative technology, such as MongoDB, have been gaining
traction despite an admitted need to mature with more needed features.
"For MongoDB as a part of the NoSQL space, it is a matter of maturity,"
said Eliot Horowitz, CTO of MongoDB.

Tor Stands Tall Against the NSA
The National Security Agency tried to crack the encryption protecting
the Tor network -- known as a bulletproof vehicle for anonymous
communication -- but was unable to do so, according to news reports
based on revelations provided by former NSA systems administrator Edward
Snowden. Undaunted, the agency and its British counterpart, GCHQ, then
reportedly used a flaw in older versions of Firefox instead.

Google's Nexus 5 Revealed in Leaked Manual
What appears to be a service manual from LG was leaked on the Web over
the weekend, replete with details about the upcoming Nexus 5 smartphone.
The document is listed as an internal service manual for the LG-D821,
and it was first published by Android Police. "This looks real," said
analyst Rob Enderle. "I have a hard time believing anyone would go to
this kind of trouble to play a hoax on LG."

Researchers Beat Drum for Quantum Communications
Researchers at JILA, a joint institute of the University of Colorado at
Boulder and NIST, have demonstrated quantum entanglement between the
motion of a minuscule mechanical drum and a microwave field. This lets
scientists observe quantum behavior in larger objects. Quantum
entanglement occurs when pairs or groups of particles interact such that
their quantum states correlate.
