You're carrying around a video camera in your pocket (it's that thing attached to your mobile phone) so be prepared and learn how to start streaming video to the web at a moment's notice.

It’s a sadly familiar story from the high-flying market of the past few years: Speculator thinks values will continue to go up, up, up. Overbids for a hot property. Can’t keep up with the payments. Lender is forced to foreclose. Only this isn’t about real estate — it’s about the most expensive domain name in the history of the internet: sex.com.

Philosopher Martin Heidegger thought that our tools eventually become a part of us cognitively. Now a scientist has found he was right. Your mouse and monitor affect the way you think.

Cisco's new CRS-3 router is capable of 322 terabits per second, the company says. That's fast enough to download the entire Library of Congress in about a second.

Qaiku, the conversational microblogging service that launched a year ago had a refresh that launched today. While it hasn't yet convinced the twittering masses, it has already proven itself as a lot more thoughtful platform for the Finnish online community, and as a valuable workstreaming tool.

The new version looks quite nice and fresh. Notice the privacy information on the right-hand side, which is relevant as Qaiku allows channels and profiles that are private or invitation-only:

Technically the new version is also remarkable as it is the first major website to run fully on top of the legacy-free Midgard2 platform. So yes, every entry you see there is a GObject. And D-Bus signals fly when you post.

On to the challenge, then

To highlight Qaiku's threading, conversational nature I started a new "On my travels, I have" thread for sharing your most extraordinary travel experiences. This is not on Twitter or Buzz as with Qaiku it is so easy to keep the conversation together and accessible for the future as well.

To contribute, sign up on Qaiku, go to the thread and add your experiences as a comment. If you have a link or picture to include, you can also do so. My first entry was:

seen ice descend from the heavens and provide us with cold beer on a hot day in Lesotho

Will be interesting to see what comes out of this :-)

The Federal Trade Commission is alleging Arizona-based Lifelock engaged in false advertising by promising customers that if they signed up with its service their personal information would become useless to identity thieves. The FTC fined it $12 million as part of a settlement agreement.

Pink Floyd and EMI are locked in a royalty battle -- yet another example of an emerging dispute between rights holders and publishers over payment for intellectual property born before the explosion of online digital sales.
