03 Hacking: no longer about the money
McAfee has jointly published a report with SAIC - claiming to
show that cybercriminals are now focusing on intellectual property as
a means of extracting revenues from companies - Idappcom says its own
observations confirm that hackers are no longer simply after the
money: electronic, physical or otherwise.

----------------------------------------------
04 Google's +1
Google's +1 feature success hinges on a paradigm shift as far as
social interactions are concerned. Google needs a major partnership
(something akin to Bing's with Facebook and the inclusion of Facebook
likes in the SERPs), or a major acquisition, to make social proof work
in its search results.

05 Map out your way to success
Jury Shortki, an emerging application developer currently focused
on creating mobile productivity solutions, has created a rather
remarkable application - inShort - for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod
touch. This application was developed for anyone who's ever had
trouble solving challenging problems. If you may at times find
yourself not knowing where to start and what steps to take in order to
complete complex tasks effectively, if at all - inShort is the solution!

12 MapQuest
Of course, MapQuest has been around on the net for sometime. Even
before they became part of AOL. I have even come to prefer them for

14 Quotes: Vacation
I had a rough marriage -- finally we decided we should either
take a vacation of get a divorce. We discussed it very maturely and we
decided on the divorce because we felt we had a limited amount of
money to spend. A vacation in Bermuda is over in two weeks but a
divorce is something that you always have.
- Woody Allen
Laughter is an instant vacation.
Milton Berle

16 ... and have a great week!
