<description><![CDATA[Twitter CEO Dick Costolo.(Credit:Twitter)Just months after becoming Twitter CEO, Dick Costolo will also be joining a presidential advisory committee.Last night, President Obama announced his intent to appoint Costolo to the National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee (NSTAC). Costolo became the CEO of Twitter in October, taking over from site co-founder Evan Williams. Prior to becoming CEO, Costolo served as Twitter's chief operating officer.The president also announced plans to appoint to the committee Scott Charney, corporate vice president for Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing Group, and David DeWalt, McAfee president.&quot;I am proud to appoint such impressive men and women to these important roles, and I am grateful they have agreed to lend their considerable talents to this Administration,&quot; President Obama said in a statement accompanying his plans for appointments. &quot;I look forward to working with them in the months and years ahead.&quot;The NSTAC has been in place for more than 25 years. Its main charge is to provide the U.S. government with important advice on the &quot;availability and reliability of telecommunication services.&quot; The committee is made up of several high-powered executives, including John Stankey, CEO of AT&amp;T Business Solutions, Dan Hesse, CEO of Sprint Nextel, and Ivan Seidenberg, chairman and CEO of Verizon.The addition of Twitter's CEO to the telecommunications committee speaks to how important the service has become to global communications. Not only is the site useful for communication between average people, but when news breaks, Twitter has become the first place to find information. In fact, news of the killing of Osama bin Laden was revealed on Twitter before any major news outlet published a story. The raid was even unwittingly live-tweeted by a Pakistani man close to Bin Laden's compound.Obama's newest appointments comes just a few months after he held a dinner with 12 of the country's top tech executives, including Apple CEO Steve Jobs, then-Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz. Acknowledging the importance of social networks today, attendees also included Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Costolo.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Samsung's aluminum-clad, 11.6-inch ultraportable is shipping from retail stores in the U.S., the second Series 9 laptop that takes precise aim at Apple's MacBook Air line. Though obviously following Apple&amp;39's lead, the Samsung Series 9 includes some important differences, such as a USB 3.0 port and WiMax 4G.(Credit:Samsung)Samsung seems to be on a mission to--let's put this carefully--emulate Apple. First Samsung came out with the 13.3-inch Series 9. Like the 13.3-inch MacBook Air, it is carved out of aluminum, is super thin at 0.64 inches (the MacBook Air is 0.68 inches at its thickest point), weighs just less than 3 pounds (2.88 pounds) and has a great display (with 400 nit brightness). Now, Samsung has come out with a likeness of the 11.6-inch MacBook Air. And just like the the Air, it is 2.3 pounds. Hmm...I'm beginning to see a pattern here. The 11.6-inch Series 9 is now listed as &quot;in stock&quot; at stores like Amazon. Previously, it had been listed as pre-order only. Though Samsung is obviously following Apple's lead, there are some important departures from the Apple template. First, the Series 9 uses Intel Core i series processors, not the older Core 2 Duo Intel chips in the MBAs. Second, it has a USB 3.0 port (the Air only has USB 2.0, no Thunderbolt ports--yet). Third, it packs 4G WiMax capability (Air has Wi-Fi only).  A few Samsung Series 9 11.6-inch highlights: Weight/height: 2.3 pounds, 0.65 inches Materials: &quot;arching duralumin&quot; enclosure Processor: Intel Core i3-380UM, ultra-power-efficient Core i chip Storage: 64GB solid-state drive Memory: 2GB Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0' WiMax 4G Ports: USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, MicroSD Battery life: specified at 7 hours Software:Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) Price: $1,199 (though this list price is discounted at Amazon) That's a pretty impressive spec sheet. Not only matching Apple on design but besting it on hardware in some areas.  Not everything comes up roses, though. The $1,199 11.6-inch MacBook Air packs a 128GB solid-state drive, twice that of the Samsung. And despite the high-end design, Samsung still must contend with the formidable Apple brand.

<description><![CDATA[Apple brings the app store experience to Mac users.(Credit:Screenshot by Don Reisinger/CNET)TheMac App Store is officially open.According to Apple, the marketplace is launching with over 1,000 paid and free apps in categories ranging from games to productivity. As with the company's mobile store available on theiPad andiPhone, users can search for apps, find out &quot;what's hot,&quot; check out staff favorites, and see the most-downloaded programs in different categories. Apple itself is selling iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand for $14.99 each. Its Pages, Keynote, and Numbers apps are available for $19.99 in the store. It's also selling Aperture 3, its photo-editing software, for $79.99. &quot;With more than 1,000 apps, the Mac App Store is off to a great start,&quot; Apple CEO Steve Jobs said in a statement. &quot;We think users are going to love this innovative new way to discover and buy their favorite apps.&quot; But it's important to note that the Mac App Store won't be offered to every Mac owner. The store is available only to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard users through the free 10.6.6 software update. It will also be made available in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion when it launches later this year. On the development side, Apple is keeping the same revenue-sharing policy it has in place for its mobile app store. Developers selling paid apps will keep 70 percent of the revenue generated from sales, while Apple will take the remaining 30 percent. Developers offering free apps won't be charged anything to make their programs available in the Mac marketplace. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
