Latest Featured Articles With mobile Internet traffic surging, high-definition (HD) multimedia streaming and longer browsing sessions are putting significant strain on network resources. And this will only intensify with increased penetration of the mobile Internet. Recently computer hacker group Lulz Security, or LulzSec, claimed responsibility for several high profile attacks, including breach of user accounts from Sony Pictures and taking CIA website offline. Now, Yahoo News reports that last Thursday LulzSec released 62,000 e-mail addresses and stolen passwords. But hosting service MediaFire quickly removed the data for violating its terms of service, wrote Yahoo! News. Twitter has frequently been used as ground for dumping fuel on the proverbial fire, and, alas, the flames are ablaze. This time, the firestorm is about the deadline to raise the debt ceiling before the government defaults on its debt, a controversy sparked by a Reuters columnist saying it moved from early August to August 22. TMCnet recently reported that News Corporation was looking to sell social media networking website MySpace by Thursday. It looks as if this day has come a little early, as it was just announced that ad-targeting company Specific Media, one of the main competitors vying for the company will purchase MySpace. Earlier this month, technology giant Hewlett-Packard announced that the Wi-Fi version of the first webOS based TouchPad tablet will be available in the United States starting next month. It will be available a few days later in the United Kingdom, Ireland, France and Germany and in Canada by mid-July, then other parts of the world later this year. Today's early tablet adopters are using print media, PCs, and other devices less often than they used to, according to Sarah Rotman Epps, Forrester Research analyst. Some 31 percent of tablet owners surveyed report they are using their PCs less, while 26 percent are using their notebooks or laptops less. News Corp. is likely to unload struggling social networking site MySpace within the next two days at a much lower sale price than it had originally hoped, sources close to the situation told All Things Digital, a News Corp.-owned technology site. The report was later validated by the Associated Press and the Wall Street Journal, which is also owned by News Corp. The head of Google Inc.'s Android software business announced today that consumers are activating more than half a million Android devices every day, an increase of about 25 percent from early May.
