INTEGRATING LOTUS CONNECTIONS AND WEBSPHERE PORTAL | Lotus developerWorks
Learn how to integrate IBM WebSphere Portal and IBM Lotus Connections to
enhance the extensibility of Lotus Connections and the flexibility of
WebSphere Portal. Over the past several years new technologies have
surged in
adoption and brought about improved ways to think about our Web experiences.
Many new technologies have become mainstream; for example, blogging has
become
an additional source of information next to online news sources,
Facebook has
taken college campuses by storm, MySpace has become another way to promote
yourself or your music, and YouTube and Flickr have become sources to share
and find media beyond your TV and photo albums.

developerWorks
Learn how to combine multiple Lotus Notes applications and other
technologies
to produce a unified interface in which users can conduct their business
more
effectively and supply innovative business solutions. IBM Lotus Notes V8
brings the power and benefits of composite applications to the Lotus Notes
user community. These composite applications, called business style
mashups by
some, can be accessed from the local Lotus Notes data directory, the IBM
Lotus
Domino V8 server, or even a server running IBM WebSphere Portal, allowing
users to work anywhere, anytime. Using new functionality and runtime
capabilities, you can combine multiple Lotus Notes applications and other

Turning a blind eye on NSA wiretap aid | CNET
A new Senate bill would protect not only telephone companies from lawsuits
claiming illegal cooperation with the National Security Agency. It would
retroactively immunize e-mail providers, search engines, Internet service
providers and instant-messaging services too.

AOL to cut 2,000 jobs | CNN Tech

advertising company. The 20 percent slice from AOL's work force comes after
several rounds of layoffs in recent years, including a cut of 5,000 jobs
last fall.

Commission.

Mars rovers to go at least 2 more years | CNN Tech
Mars' aging twin rovers will explore the red planet for at least two more
years under an extension approved by NASA. It is the fifth time the space
agency has continued the activities of the solar-powered, six-wheel robots,
which landed on opposite ends of the planet in 2004.

Libraries shun deals to place books on Web | CNET
Several major research libraries have rebuffed offers from Google and
Microsoft to scan their books into computer databases, saying they are
put off
by restrictions these companies want to place on the new digital
collections.

Leopard OS on sale October 26 | CNN Tech
Apple Inc.'s next-generation operating system, Mac OS X "Leopard," will be
available October 26 for $129, and Apple's online store is taking
pre-orders,
the company said Tuesday. Leopard was originally due in June, but Apple said
in April that it needed to divert resources so it could launch the much-
anticipated iPhone on time. Such product delays are rare for the Cupertino-
based company.

Baidu.com.

International hackers going after U.S. networks | CNN Tech
About 140 foreign intelligence organizations are trying to hack into the
computer networks of the U.S. government and U.S. companies, a top counter-
intelligence official said. Joel Brenner, the national counterintelligence
executive, told CNN it is not accurate to blame only the Chinese government
for recent penetrations of government computer systems. "We get intrusions
from all point of the compass. It is really misleading to focus on one
country," he said. "They are coming from everywhere now. It is a
pervasive problem."

Toyota takes baby steps to plug-in car | CNET
Questions about expense, reliability and profitability are good reasons for
Toyota to take its time on a plug-in electric hybrid, a company
executive said
Monday. Yoshitaka Asakura, project general manager in Toyota's hybrid
vehicle
system-engineering division, said Monday in an article in The Wall Street
Journal that Toyota is taking into account that not all consumers, despite
vocal environmentalist groups, may be interested in a car that has to be
re-charged daily.

Are Microchip Tags Safe? | CNN Tech
You may not know what RFID stands for, but you're probably using the
technology on a daily basis. RFID (that is, radio frequency identification)
is in passports, in electronic toll-collection tags, in credit cards,
metrocards, library books and car keys. Like conventional bar codes, RFID
chips store and relay information, and allow for the identification of
commercial products — and, now, of house pets and people too. Human
"tagging"
was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2004 to facilitate
retrieval of private medical records, but the procedure has had few takers.

Apple loosens grip on iPhone software | CNN Tech
In an apparent about-face, Apple Inc. will allow third-party applications to
work directly on the iPhone, Chief Executive Steve Jobs said in a posting on
the company's Web site Wednesday. Apple infuriated developers and some
iPhone
users when it issued a software update September 27 that disabled unofficial
programs installed on the handsets.

Tomorrow’s business leaders may be MIA | IBM
Three-quarters of human resources executives around the world say they’re
worried about developing future leaders for their companies. The
findings come
from an IBM study that surveyed more than 400 HR execs in 40 countries.

Open source helps open loans for the poor | IBM
IBM is working with the Grameen Foundation to update open source
software that
helps make loans to poor communities around the world. Mifos is used by
microfinance institutions (MFIs), which provide loans (usually less than
$200)
for very small, self-supporting businesses.

Good vibrations in nanotube research | IBM
IBM scientists have measured distribution of electrical charges in tubes of
carbon that measure less than 2 nanometers in diameter, 50,000 times thinner
than a strand of human hair. The technique provides a better
understanding of
the electrical behavior of carbon nanotubes, a material that could lead to
smaller, faster and lower power computer chips.

Second Life, IBM push ‘open’ avatars for virtual worlds | IBM
IBM and Linden Lab, creator of the virtual world Second Life, say
they'll work
together and with others to allow avatars to move easily from one virtual
world to another.

Mainframes eyed for 'fuel economy' | IBM
IBM is helping its mainframe computer customers get a better handle on their
energy use. One program, an extension of the company's Project Big Green,
offers a "mainframe gas gauge" that shows a machine’s energy use in real
time.
