<description><![CDATA[President Barack Obama has developed guidelines for how the U.S. should respond to--and initiate--cyberattacks, the Associated Press is reporting.Citing anonymous defense officials, the news service claims the guidelines include a wide range of cyberwar efforts to be employed by the U.S. during both peacetime and when conflicts are underway, including installing viruses on international computers and taking down a country's electrical grid.According to the Associated Press, the guidelines also allow for defense officials to transmit code through another country's network to ensure the connection can be made. Though it wouldn't necessarily carry a dangerous payload at the time, that connection could be used in the future if an attack was authorized on the specific country.The Associated Press' report on the president's cyberwar guidelines comes just a week after the Chinese military called on its government to invest in more defense against the U.S.&quot;The U.S. military is hastening to seize the commanding military heights on the Internet, and another Internet war is being pushed to a stormy peak,&quot; the Chinese military wrote in its official newspaper, Liberation Army Daily. &quot;Their actions remind us that to protect the nation's Internet security, we must accelerate Internet defense development and accelerate steps to make a strong Internet army.&quot;However, there is already speculation that the Chinese government has a formidable Internet army. Over the last few years, attacks seeming to originate in China have targeted several prominent U.S. corporations and government contractors, sparking concerns that the U.S. hasn't done enough to defend itself over the Web.&quot;Senior U.S. officials know well that the government of China is systematically attacking the computer networks of the U.S. government and American corporations,&quot; former U.S. national security official Richard Clarke wrote last week in an op-ed piece for The Wall Street Journal. &quot;Beijing is successfully stealing research and development, software source code, manufacturing know-how and government plans.&quot;The latest cyberattack believed to originate from China came last month when Google announced that the personal Gmail accounts of top U.S. government officials, as well as Chinese political activists, were targeted in a phishing attack aimed at gaining access to their accounts. Though Google was able to foil the plot, the company said that the attacks originated from Jinan, China, a known home to a Chinese government intelligence division.With each attack on the U.S., China has said that its government was not involved. Speaking today to Reuters, a senior Chinese government official echoed that sentiment.&quot;Though hackers attack the U.S. Internet and China's Internet, I believe they do not represent any country,&quot; the official told Reuters. &quot;The international community ought to come up with some rules to prevent this misuse of advanced technology.&quot;Though the U.S. guidelines on cyberwarfare have been in place for more than a month, according to the AP, the Pentagon will publicly divulge details on them &quot;soon.&quot;<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In September, Google said it hoped to bring its then-new Google Instant search feature to users of the Opera browser &quot;shortly.&quot; A half-year later, there's still no sign of it.Google still is working on it, though.&quot;We've encountered some technical barriers that are temporarily preventing us from making Instant available for Opera,&quot; Google said in a statement yesterday. &quot;It's difficult for us to estimate when we will overcome these barriers, but we want to bring Instant to as many browsers, platforms and regions as possible.&quot;It's not clear exactly what those glitches are. Opera fans are able to use Google Instant by setting their browser to lie about its identity and tell Web servers it'sFirefox, so clearly the feature isn't totally impossible.Opera, based in Oslo, Norway, long has had a loyal following of passionate users, and the browser maker has often been eager to embrace new Web technologies, so being stuck in a tech backwater clearly is frustrating to some users.Opera is continuing to advance its browser. New features emerging in a beta of Opera 11.10, code-named Barracuda, include support for several new standards. You can download Opera 11.10 beta for Windows, Mac, and Linux.Among them:&amp;149' the Web Open Font Format, an attempt to bring better typography to the Web via downloadable fonts.&amp;149' CSS's linear gradients, which can create gradual color transitions and fades without requiring images to be downloaded.&amp;149' CSS's multi-column layouts to make it easier to provide newspaper- or magazine-like look to Web pages.Separately, Opera is working on adding hardware acceleration and WebGL's 3D graphics to a future version of Opera. Also in the works is the HTML5 parser, which among other things defines a standard way for all browsers to handle the abundance of incorrectly coded Web pages.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Sometimes it's hard to choose which social-networking site fully encapsulates man's generosity to man. I wanted to plump for Facebook. Its depth of friending possibilities allegedly led one woman to attempt to drive over her cousin' her cousin had managed to become friends with someone whom the driver had not.However, I have now decided that it is Twitter, thanks to the recent activities of--and alleged death threats toward--Maurice Jones-Drew.Should you not know the name, Jones-Drew is a fine running back for the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, on Sunday, he was one of quite a few current and former NFL stars who took to Twitter to criticize Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler.(Credit:Screenshot: Chris Matyszczyk/CNET)Jones-Drew appeared to believe that Cutler should not have removed himself from a championship game against the Green Bay Packers because of a knee injury. He offered a couple of critical tweets, one mentioning the dreaded concept of quitting. Perhaps the most personal tweet read: &quot;All I'm saying is that he can finish the game on a hurt knee...I played the whole season on one...&quot;He claimed, subsequently and a little unconvincingly, that he was joking.It seems that some people, perhaps fans of the Chicago Bears who were slightly disgruntled with their loss to the Packers, decided that Twitter was the place to respond to Jones-Drew's humor (or not).Some, electing to exercise their quaint interpretation of free speech, wished him ill. A sample, retweeted by Drew, read: &quot;RT @gabrield91: @Jones_Drew32 you wont ever apologize cause you dont know how to apologize, insecure !@%* diva. !@%* you, i hope you tear your knee again.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Motorola Atrix&amp;39's laptop dock breaks new ground this year. What's next for smartphones(Credit:Nicole Lee/CNET)LAS VEGAS--I was lucky enough to moderate a smartphone panel at CES this year. Experts from four companies, including Mozilla and BlackBerry-maker RIM, got together to discuss the future of smartphone apps, fragmentation, HTML 5, payment, and more.Since not all of you could be there, I thought I'd share the pundits' perspectives on what we can expect from smartphone apps and services in the next two to five years. Keep in mind, of course, that these are educated guesses, not gospel.QUESTION: Will native apps largely fade from viewANSWER: Largely for many tasks, but not entirely. HTML 5 gives developers the ability to build very rich Web apps and take them across mobile platforms. With the exception of deeply integrated apps, like multimedia and gaming, mobile Web apps will largely replace apps for everyday tasks, such as e-mail and music streaming. At the end of the day, consumers will go with whichever app offers the better experience, regardless of its cloud or device-specific location. Web apps will be especially important for smartphone owners who frequently switch to the latest, greatest new phone after six to nine months.QUESTION: How easy will it be to take content from one platform to anotherANSWER: Web apps make transferring content quite easy because your info is already stored online under your account. As for the stuff stored on your device, this is a logistical problem of scale, not a technical one. Technology already exists to transfer content that users &quot;own&quot; among separate operating systems, but it's not yet implemented at scale. In the future, content will be a user right.QUESTION: How will mobile operators deal with mobile OS fragmentation going forwardANSWER:: Carriers don't want fragmentation, because they want loyal, happy customers. But the carrier wish of unifying different versions of a mobile operating system is at odds with business decisions about which phones to upgrade, and when. Pushing out upgrades takes resources, which leaves carriers gambling on which phones will sell like hotcakes.QUESTION: What trends will we see in smartphone hardware and software in the next two to five yearsANSWER: We're going to see quad-core processors and 3D. Gaming will really take off with much better processing speeds and hardware acceleration. Battery technology will also have to improve to handle the much richer multimedia. In terms of hardware, NFC (near-field communication) chips will proliferate as one way that smartphones will largely replace physical wallets.QUESTION: Is there new technology on the horizon to change the way app developers and carriers monetizeANSWER: We're going to be seeing many more Wi-Fi only devices, which could reduce the carrier's cost load for maintaining its data network. (And carriers will pass the savings to consumers.) Carrier billing and NFC will turn the smartphone into a mobile wallet, which leads the way for carriers, and not banks or credit card companies, to handle billing. This is especially true of developing nations, where many more people own smartphones than have credit cards or bank accounts.App makers will draw on more location-based transactions--think Groupon--and microtransactions such as we already see when players pay to unlock extra weapons in games. Advertising will also become much more interactive. You might play a game, for instance, in which &quot;winning&quot; gets you a coupon or a redemption code for the advertised product. You'll think you're getting a deal, but you're actually buying right into the ad. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
