More in the Incubator Than Meets the Eye
Do we still need venture capitalists in the software industry? Sounds like a no-brainer, but the question also reflects the disruption that is taking place in enterprise software -- initiated by Salesforce.com and accelerated with its unveiling of a company incubator in San Mateo, Calif.

Crunching iPhone's Numbers
There was ample time for a reality check on iPhone sales long before July 24, when AT&T gave the world its first official inkling of how well the music-playing phone performed just after introduction. I could tell something was amiss as I waited outside the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan on June 29, the day the iPhone went on sale.

FOSS is better 'alternative' to pirated software--advocate
Free and open source software (FOSS) is a better alternative to pirated software, a local open source advocate has said. "There is an alternative to pirated software. You don't need to pirate software to use good software. We often read raids of shops and businesses using illegal software. People want to use software, and FOSS is an alternative," said Dr. Giovanni Tapang, member of the Computer Professionals Union and Agham, an organization of Filipino scientists and engineers, in an interview last week.
Did DirecTV Hire Satellite Hackers To Leak Dish TV Smart Cards?
I had missed this story when it came out last week, but thanks to a reader (who prefers to remain anonymous) for sending it in. Apparently, Dish Network is suing DirecTV, claiming that DirecTV (and its parent News Corp) hired notorious satellite TV hackers to break Dish's encryption and "flood the market" with hacked smart cards. That's quite a claim, and it will be interesting to see what evidence the company has to back it up. After all, reverse engineering a product is perfectly legal -- and, indeed, DirecTV claims that's all it did. Furthermore, it seems doubly strange that DirecTV would go down this route after so thoroughly pissing off smart card hackers of all kinds a few years ago by accusing them all of stealing DirecTV signals with almost no evidence, and then pushing many to pay up to avoid a lawsuit. It's also hard to see what the real benefit to DirecTV is of such a plan. Making it easier to get Dish for free shouldn't increase DirecTV's market at all. One would hope that Dish actually has some serious evidence to go along with these claims.

Zoom Lens Mug
Talk about seing things from a totally different angle! This Zoom Lens Mug turns upside down everything we thought we knew about an expensive zoom lens for a camera - it is literally a mug with an exterior that could fool even seasoned shutterbugs. Be careful with the hot beverage you store inside though, as somebody who is not in the loop might get overexcited at your newest "camera" purchase and turn it upside down to inspect it, only to find out that he/she is soaked in freshly brewed java. Well, that won't happen anytime soon as it is a concept, but it could, you know what I'm saying?
