Governments Should Invest More in Catching Cybercriminals, Researchers Say
Posted by PCWorld
Improving the ability of law enforcement agencies to catch cybercriminals should be a priority when governments decide how their cybersecurity budgets get spent, according to University of Cambridge security engineering professor Ross Anderson.
Anderson is one of seven computer researchers from the U.K., Germany, the Netherlands and the U.S. who recently performed an analysis of the costs of cybercrime at the request of the U.K. Ministry of Defence. Their findings were published in a research paper that will be presented on June 26 at the 11th Annual Workshop on the Economics of Information Security in Berlin.
The researchers split the costs of computer crimes into direct losses, indirect lo[...]

Much Ado About Nothing: The Truth Behind Netflix’s API Changes
Posted by TechCrunch
Last week, Netflix made some changes to its API program and Terms of Use for connecting with it. Since then, there’s been some confusion about what the changes actually mean for developers. That confusion was highlighted in a blog post by Goodfil.ms Monday morning, which claimed that Netflix was “quietly smothering its third-party ecosystem.”While there are some significant changes, there’s nothing that should stop third-party developers from adding values to subscribers looking to access the service through mobile, web, or other connected device applications[...]

Posted by VentureBeat
We’re waiting with bated breath for Microsoft’s big announcement this afternoon from Milk Studios in Los Angeles, and some newly leaked specifications only add to that anticipation.
A new document touts some technical specs for a tablet device called Xbox Surface, an interesting name that conjures up two of Microsoft’s coolest gadgets and one of its greatest commercial successes.
The Xbox hardly needs an introduction, but Surface is the name of a lesser-known Microsoft product, a huge touchscreen table (not a tablet, but an actual piece of interactive furniture) for multi-user applications, mostly in commercial settings.

Revving the innovation engine: Trends to watch for at Structure
Posted by Gigaom
GigaOM?s Structure event this week reminds me of the well-documented relationship between economic crises and technological innovation: Hard times bring out the best in entrepreneurs, precipitating a creative destruction that resets the technology infrastructure and transforms business.
From my vantage point here in the Silicon Valley, I have seen many technology-induced disruptions, starting with the semiconductor revolution that gave the region its name. Microprocessors gave rise to PCs, which were then leveraged with networks, client/server architectures and the Internet.
But as massive as these changes were, they are being dwarfed by the disruptive forces of mobile and cloud computing oc[...]
