Seth Weintraub: iPhone Apps and updates must now be 3.0 compliant
Last night, along with the iPhone OS 3 Beta 5 update, Apple told developers that
new iPhone apps would be tested to work properly on the new iPhone OS 3.0. If
they don't work with the new software, they wouldn't get accepted into the App
Store.

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols: The Ubuntu and ATI Blues
There's a lot of good stuff in Ubuntu 9.04, but great performance with ATI
graphic chips isn't among its virtues.

Ken Gagne: The science of Star Trek
Star Trek has inspired generations of scientists and engineers. But the nature
of science fiction leads us to ask, do sci-fi films get advance technology
right?

State of Internet Security: Protecting Business Email
Email is vital in business communications and companies worldwide are dependent
upon it. In spite of measures taken by companies to protect against spam,
viruses, spyware, and other online threats, the frequency and sophistication of
attacks are growing. Due to the significant impact that these security threats
are having on businesses, new methods of protection are necessary to effectively
secure email and valuable data.

Seth H. Weintraub: Google's Eric Schmidt doesn't see board conflict with Apple?
I talked earlier this week on why Google shouldn't be in violation of the
Clayton Anti-trust legislation because Google shares board members with Apple. I
still believe that they aren't in violation.

Robert L. Mitchell: VoIP quiz: How many minutes in an "unlimited" plan?
These days its seems, everyone offers unlimited minutes in VoIP calling plans.
So how many minutes does that include? That depends on how the vendor defines
"unlimited."
