      FBI Says Its Hands Are Tied on Revealing iPhone Crack Details    
The FBI on Wednesday confirmed its decision not to inform Apple of how  
  it hacked into the encrypted iPhone used in last December's San  
  Bernardino terrorist attack. The bureau was investigating the  
  possibility that deceased shooters Syed Farook, who used the iPhone, and  
  his wife may have had links to other terrorist plots. It also was  
  searching for evidence tying the two to ISIS.

Nokia on Tuesday announced plans to purchase Withings for $192 million  
  in cash as part of its move into the healthcare devices arena. The deal  
  is expected to close in early Q3, and Withings will become part of the  
  Nokia Technologies business. "We have said consistently that digital  
  health was an area of strategic interest to Nokia," CEO Rajeev Suri  
  said.    
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/83431.html        IT Execs Join Federal Cybersecurity Panel    
Key components of the Obama administration's multipronged cybersecurity  
  initiative keep falling into place. One of the most recent developments  
  was the formation of a federal Commission on Enhancing National  
  Cybersecurity. Another was the formal introduction in Congress of the  
  administration's information technology investment plan, which is  
  heavily tilted toward cybersecurity protection.

Federal regulators on Monday approved Charter Communications' $78  
  billion merger with Time Warner Cable and its $10.4 billion acquisition  
  of Bright House Networks, but with a number of tough conditions. The  
  Justice Department filed a settlement agreement to block the new company  
  from enforcing any deal that makes it harder for online video  
  distributors to get video content from programmers.

Last year, I researched the impact of the proliferation of cloud  
  computing on business. I know it sounds like a dry topic, but if you are  
  a CIO or an application development manager, the results can have  
  serious meaning. Cloud computing has deeply penetrated the enterprise  
  and SMB ranks, and 46.3 percent of respondents said they had four or  
  more cloud applications in use.

As a maker in an e-commerce world, you have to get the word out about  
  what you're creating. Whether you're crafting candles or jewelry,  
  marketing leads to sales. It's one thing to set up a booth at a craft  
  fair and meet customers face to face, but it's another thing entirely to  
  market online. Becoming comfortable with digital marketing techniques  
  needs to be one of your primary priorities.    
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/83424.html        Google's 'Area 120' Incubator Aims to Keep Innovation In-House    
Google has been working on an incubator that would let employees pitch  
  business plans and work full time on approved projects while remaining  
  on its payroll, according to news reports published this week. The  
  incubator, to be called "Area 120," will be led by Don Harrison, VP of  
  corporate development, and Bradley Horowitz, VP of streams, photos and  
  sharing.
