<description><![CDATA[If you know what this is and where it was taken, you could win a prize in the Picture of the Week challenge.(Credit:Daniel Terdiman/CNET)Yummy: Deep-fried Twinkies. Well, OK, it might be good for a second--before you drop dead from a heart attack. Either way, it's an interesting idea. But where is this particular stand that sells them If you know, you could win a prize in the CNET Road Trip Picture of the Week challenge.If you have the answer, please e-mail it to me no later than 6 p.m. PT Friday (to daniel--dot--terdiman--at--cnet--dot--com, and PLEASE include &quot;Picture of the Week&quot; in the subject line). I'll choose a winner at random from among everyone who sends in the correct answer. Please forgive me if you don't hear from me if you're not a winner. I get dozens of responses for each challenge. Also, I've turned off comments because some people would post the correct answers there. I hate to shut down discussion, but I want you to figure out the answer on your own.One caveat: no individual can win more than two prizes. Also, for everyone who played regularly during Road Trip 2010, please note that this is the 16th of the weekly Picture of the Week challenges. With Road Trip 2010 officially finished--and therefore no more new Road Trip pictures per se--the challenge is now taking place each Thursday, and the photos could come from anywhere, not just Road Trip 2010 locations, and might be related to stories I've written in the past. So, please have fun playing today, and then come back each Thursday. For most of the summer, Geek Gestalt was on Road Trip 2010. After driving more than 18,000 miles in the Rocky Mountains, the Pacific Northwest, the Southwest and the Southeast over the last four years, I drove 5,266 miles this summer looking for the best in technology, science, military, nature, aviation and more throughout the American Northeast.

<description><![CDATA[(Credit:Google)Help is on the way for Web surfers who run the risk of having their Facebook, Twitter, and other Web accounts hijacked over unsecured Wi-Fi networks and other security issues that result from sites not using encryption. A Web security mechanism called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is making its way through the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) standards process, and two of the major browsers are supporting it. Web sites that implement HSTS will prompt the browser to always connect to a secure version of the site, using &quot;https,&quot; without the Web surfer having to remember to type that in the URL bar. It will render useless tools like Firesheep, aFirefox add-on that lets people easily capture HTTP session cookies that sites use to communicate with computers. Firesheep was released at ToorCon last month.  HSTS is used in Google Chrome and the NoScript and Force-TLS Firefox plug-ins and is being implemented in the upcoming version of FireFox, according to a blog post by Jeff Hodges, a security engineer at PayPal. Hodges wrote the original draft specification for HSTS with Collin Jackson, a former Googler and current assistant research professor at Carnegie Mellon University Silicon Valley, and Adam Barth, a Google engineer.(Credit:Mozilla)&quot;This allows for full-session encryption,&quot; Jackson told CNET. &quot;A user won't see an insecure version of the site.&quot; PayPal and other Web sites have started to use the feature and more are waiting to adopt it once it is implemented in more browsers, he said. &quot;We're waiting on Microsoft to pick it up,&quot; Jackson said. Asked if Microsoft is considering using HSTS in Internet Explorer, a spokesperson provided this comment: &quot;We don't support it in IE9 but are committed to delivering trusted browsing experience and will continue to listen to customers.&quot; Apple spokespeople did not respond to an e-mail asking for comment for this story. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[For the first time in seven years, Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer is selling Microsoft&amp;'s stock. Reuters reported that Ballmer sold $1.3 billion worth of his shares, cutting his take in the company he runs by 12 percent.Ballmer says that his first sale of stock in seven years should not be taken as a lack of confidence in the world&amp;'s biggest software company. Ballmer also said he will sell more shares by the end of the year in a move to diversify his investments and plan for taxes. The company sought to ease fears that Ballmer, 54 and CEO since 2000, plans to leave the company.&amp;''Even though this is a personal financial matter, I want to be clear about this to avoid any confusion,&amp;'' Ballmer said in a statement on the company&amp;'s website. &amp;''I am excited about our new products and the potential for our technology to change people&amp;'s lives, and I remain fully committed to Microsoft and its success.&amp;''Reuters noted that Microsoft&amp;'s shares are currently trading at 2002 levels, but Ballmer has not indicated that he plans to step down. In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Ballmer said he sold 49.3 million shares in the past three days at prices around $27 a share. Ballmer said he plans to sell 75 million shares by year end. He holds about 359 million shares, or 4.2 percent of the company. The shares are valued at $9.6 billion, making him the second-largest shareholder behind Bill Gates, chairman and co-founder. Gates has 621 million shares, or 7.2 percent.Previous Story: Wall Street Journal says former soft porn actress Jodie Fisher accused Mark Hurd of leaking secret EDS dealPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Companies: MicrosoftPeople: Bill Gates, steve ballmer          Companies: MicrosoftPeople: Bill Gates, steve ballmerDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.

<description><![CDATA[ Despite the United States&amp;' position as an Internet powerhouse, the state of&amp;nbsp'broadband in this country compared to some other places around the world is pretty pitiful a4&quot; both in speed and reach. Google is trying to do their part to fix the speed issue with their 1 Gbps fiber optic network tests. And Verizon is on the case as well a4&quot; with a 10 Gbps network.Now, to be clear, the video above is just a test. We&amp;'re unlikely to see these kinds of speeds in our homes any time soon. But this is a field test, not a test done in some lab.And it&amp;'s awesome. 10 Gbps both is both the download and upload speed.

<description><![CDATA[Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has returned to active duty at the company and is evolved in &amp;''fixing&amp;'' the product, according to a report in Business Insider that cites &amp;''three industry sources.&amp;''I emailed both Twitter and Dorsey, and I got the following response (I&amp;'ve cleaned up the punctuation and capitalization because that&amp;'s how I roll) from Kay Luo, formerly of LinkedIn&amp;'s public relations team who&amp;'s now the PR person for Dorsey&amp;'s new startup Square:Jack forwarded me your email. Nothing has changed. He&amp;'s CEO of Square and it&amp;'s his top priority (frankly, I wouldn&amp;'t have joined if this were not the case). He&amp;'s also chairman at Twitter.Note that this isn&amp;'t a complete refutation of Business Insider&amp;'s story. As Luo points out herself, Dorsey is Twitter&amp;'s chairman, so in that role it&amp;'s possible that he would consult on product decisions. Clearly he&amp;'s not getting too involved in Twitter if he&amp;'s still running his own startup, and there&amp;'s no reason to believe he&amp;'d be scale back his involvement in Square.The more interesting question is whether this reflects tension at Twitter. After all, co-founder Ev Williams took over the CEO spot from Dorsey in 2008 , then Dick Costolo took over from Williams in last month. Business Insider reports that Dorsey&amp;'s involvement is at Costolo&amp;'s request, and that Williams isn&amp;'t happy about it.Twitter did not respond to my request for comment.Next Story: Privacy on social networks a concern for old, not young Previous Story: SoGeo unveils location-recommendation app WhatserPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: rumorsCompanies: Square, TwitterPeople: Dick Costolo, Ev Williams, Jack Dorsey          Tags: rumorsCompanies: Square, TwitterPeople: Dick Costolo, Ev Williams, Jack DorseyAnthony is VentureBeat's assistant editor, as well as its reporter on media, advertising, and social networks.

<description><![CDATA[Piracy doesn&amp;'t pay. That&amp;'s a lesson for SAP. Oracle won a $1.3 billion jury verdict against SAP, the world&amp;'s largest maker business software, in a copyright infringement lawsuit.The jury awarded the damages because the evidence showed that SAP&amp;'s U.S.-based business unit made hundreds of thousands of illegal downloads and several thousand copies of Oracle&amp;'s software. The goal was to avoid license fees and to steal customers. SAP essentially admitted that the allegations were true and it offered to pay Oracle $40 million.a4AWe are, of course, disappointed by this verdict and will pursue all available options, including post-trial motions and appeal if necessary,a4 Bill Wohl, an SAP spokesman, in a comment to Bloomberg. &amp;''This will unfortunately be a prolonged process and we continue to hope that the matter can be resolved appropriately without more years of litigation.a4The verdict in the civil case isn&amp;'t a shocker. But the amount sure is. Bloomberg says it is the largest award ever for copyright infringement and the largest U.S. jury award of any kind for 2010. It amounts to SAP&amp;'s expected net income for the fourth quarter. SAP has only set aside $160 million for the litigation. But it&amp;'s still possible that higher courts will reduce the amount of the verdict.The trial drew attention because Oracle CEO Larry Ellison slammed the new CEO of Hewlett-Packard, Leo Apotheker, for his role in managing TomorrowNow. Oracle lawyers tried to get Apotheker to testify live in court, but they couldn&amp;'t locate him via subpoena servers.The verdict, which came after one day of deliberations, is the biggest ever for copyright infringement and the largest U.S. jury award of 2010, according to Bloomberg data. The award is about equal to SAPa4a4s forecasted net income for the fourth quarter, excluding some costs, according to the average estimate of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.SAP acquired the TomorrowNow division in 2005. The division was set up to offer tech support to customers of companies that were acquired by Oracle. The goal was to lure those customers to buy products from SAP. But TomorrowNow had a program to automate the downloading of the software from Oracle&amp;'s customer-service web sites. The award amount was based on the fair market value of the license SAP should have taken out with Oracle, according to the jury foreman, who refused to give his name to Bloomberg.SAP paid just $10 million for the 30-employee TomorrowNow. It turns out the deal was a lot more expensive than that.Previous Story: Why check in to TV shows Misoa4a4s new answer: For the dealsPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: piracyCompanies: Oracle, SAP, TomorrowNowPeople: Bill Wohl, Larry Ellison          Tags: piracyCompanies: Oracle, SAP, TomorrowNowPeople: Bill Wohl, Larry EllisonDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.

<description><![CDATA[This is what you get when a former Google executive runs a media company.Business Insider has published a leaked copy of what it said is AOLa4a4s new a4Amaster plan,a4 a presentation outlining the companya4a4s goals and processes for the next few months. What comes across is an intense focus on numbers. And hey, that makes sense for a business document, but there is something both beautiful and scary about the way AOL is trying to streamline its entire a4Acontent generationa4 process (or, as I like to call it, a4Awriting and editinga4) for maximum profitability.So what are AOLa4a4s goals Basically, to turn every blog post into a serious moneymaker. Specifically, by the end of March, AOL aims to increase the total number of articles published each month from 31,500 to 40,000, and to grow the median number of pageviews per article from 1,500 to 7,000. Meanwhile, the average cost of creating an article should fall from $99 to $84, and the profit margin on each article should increase from 35 percent to 50 percent.When deciding what topic to cover, the AOL Way apparently involves weighing issues like traffic potential, revenue/profit, turnaround time, and editorial quality. Again, these are considerations that any for-profit publication is probably weighing, but whata4a4s impressive is how specific AOLa4a4s guidelines are &amp;8212' for example, therea4a4s a a4ADemand Toola4 that might, for example, predict that an article will earn $500, so under AOL&amp;'s guidelines a website can spend up to $250 for that piece of content.The document also mentions a new a4ASEO Checkera4 that is supposed to be used on virtually all of AOLa4a4s content, giving writers and editors guidelines on how to customize their articles to show up prominently in search engines.AOL, of course, is in the middle of what is hopefully a turnaround. Tim Armstrong (pictured), formerly an executive at Google (a company famous for its focus on quantifying everything), took over as CEO about two years ago and led the company in a spinoff from Time Warner. Last November, Armstrong reported earnings that beat analyst estimates for the first time, although ad revenue was still down. (AOL will release its next earnings report tomorrow.) On the tech side, AOL&amp;'s properties include Engadget and TechCrunch.Business Insider reports that some of AOLa4a4s writers and editors commented positively on the changes, while another declared, a4AAOL is the most fucked up, bullshit company on Earth.a4Not surprisingly, this document has provoked a lot of comments from the VentureBeat editorial team. A couple of writers are dancing a happy dance that wea4a4re not working at AOL or an organization with similarly straitlaced guidelines. But my boss Owen Thomas reports that hea4a4s taking copious notes.Next Story: Why it&amp;'s time for app developers to go global Previous Story: Google Latitude gives 10 million users check-in powerPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: The AOL WayCompanies: aolPeople: Tim Armstrong          Tags: The AOL WayCompanies: aolPeople: Tim ArmstrongAnthony is a senior editor at VentureBeat, as well as its reporter on media, advertising, and social networks.

<description><![CDATA[Christopher Poole, also known as Moot and famous as the founder of online image board 4chan, has been hard at work on another project called Canv.as. It looks like the site finally has some legs, since Business Insider managed to snoop around a bit.Poole&amp;'s project is worth watching closely, since a lot of sites have tried to replicate the same community energy that 4chan seems to  have &amp;8212' for example, the comment streams in news aggregators like Reddit.com &amp;8212' but  the 4chan magic just doesn&amp;'t seem to pop up anywhere else.On first impression, I&amp;'m really impressed by Canvas It&amp;'s elegant and simple a4&quot; users upload an image to begin a thread where anyonecan reply. Commenters can remix the image using images from Google search, stamps or personal uploads.It&amp;'s a way to replicate the same kind of trainwreck commentary that generates some of the most famous images edited with Photoshop that then go on to circulate widely on the Internet. In short, Poole may have identified the secret formula behind viral meme generation &amp;8212' an insight that may well have mainstream marketers salivating.4chan has 4 million monthly visitors in the U.S. and 8 million globally a4&quot; many of whom are tech-savvy and know their way around image-editing programs like Photoshop.It looks like Canv.as is trying to remove that technical barrier to entry by making it simple to edit images. On 4chan, the content isn&amp;'t curated and there are basically no rules, which is part of the appeal. That chaos, while offputting to conventional publishers and advertisers, ends up breeding some of the most creative memes the Internet has to offer. But the site is plagued with racist remarks and other distasteful content &amp;8212' sometimes even questionably legal content &amp;8212' as a result of the lack of curation. It takes a pretty brave soul to venture over to the main website, much less the site&amp;'s random board /b/ a4&quot; where some of the best content on the Internet takes shape.It&amp;'s nosecret that I&amp;'ve spent my fair share of time on similar online community sites. What I&amp;'ve learned by watching them is that it&amp;'s almost impossible to force a meme to take shape, and it&amp;'s completely unintentional most of the time. The only way to increase the chance of producing something popular on the Internet is to produce even more content a4&quot; another appeal of 4chan, which boasts almost a million posts every day. It looks like Canv.as isdesigned to do just that, with gusto.4chan is a tough sell for advertisers. Canv.as seems built to avoid attracting that kind of content and has a little bit more moderation than 4chan does. The question is whether Canv.as can bottle 4chan&amp;'s magic &amp;8212' and sell it.So, Chris, can I get an invite[Photo: mohamedn]Next Story: Week in review: A bigger display for the iPhone 5 Previous Story: Angry Birds will slingshot themselves onto FacebookPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: 4chan, Christopher Poole, image boards, memes, Social Media, viral marketingCompanies: Canv.as          Tags: 4chan, Christopher Poole, image boards, memes, Social Media, viral marketingCompanies: Canv.asMatthew Lynley is VentureBeat's enterprise writer.
