What happened to Nokia? This company once ruled the mobile phone business. But it never made a successful smartphone for the U.S. market. Instead, RIM and Treo grabbed the first ground in that market. And then Apple launched the iPhone. And then Google launched Android. And then Nokia sank into irrelevance as a major revolution in computing--the smartphone/tablet revolution--took off.
Earlier this week, Nokia released two Lumia smartphones running the Windows Phone OS, not its traditional Symbian OS, as well as three Asha smartphones running Symbian for less affluent countries. Can Nokia claw its way back to being a leader in mobile?
We're discussing that today with three great CNET experts: Jessica Dolcourt is from the CNET Reviews team, and has seen and used the new Lumia phones. Jay Greene covers Microsoft and Google for News.com. Roger Cheng is our mobile reporter and wireless expert.

Plus, stock advice from the gang, the coming nightmare that is the Stop Internet Piracy Act, and Computer Love.

Go ahead and raise your hand if when you want to search for something on the Web, you think of Google. Yup, it's most of you. But upstarts are always trying to chip away at Google. From Microsoft to MC Hammer, search is the holy grail for many startups.
Yes, that's right, MC Hammer has a search startup, called WireDoo.
Today we're talking about different approaches companies are taking to take on search, with:
Paul Sloan, the executive editor in charge of startups for CNET.Harry McCracken, editor of Technologizer and a columnist for us and for Time.Jim Lanzone, president of CBSi and therefore the boss of everyone else on this show. Jim is also former CEO of Ask.

Today we're going to be talking about one of my favorite topics: how to sneak personal technology into your workplace. Or, put more respectably, the "Consumerization of Information Technology," or CoIT. Yes, there's an acronym for that.
For end users, CoIT is great. It means you can use your iPhone for company e-mail instead of the crappy 3-year-old BlackBerry the company wants to give you. But for IT managers? It can be a nightmare of security problems and support headaches. Or, if managed right, it can be a big cost saver and a giant morale booster.
Today we're talking about this topic with two experts. First, Fritz Nelson, editorial director of Information Week and editor at large at Byte on the Web. We also have an interview I did previously with Tom Gillis, vice president and general manager of Cisco's security technology group.

Last month, IBM released a report (PDF) identifying the security challenges facing enterprises in the next two to five years. The survey is based on data collected internally by IBM.
One theme is that as the pace of globalization picks up, traditional boundaries continue to disappear. In this new global reality, "open for business" can mean pooling resources or sharing sensitive information among organizations.
The IBM report notes that "the line between participation and isolation can also mark the line of opportunity and risk. (Enterprises) rely on business systems and automated policies to guard that line--to root out the threats, to safeguard our intellectual property, to protect our reputations and privacy. With the emergence of each new technology, the line can shift just a bit."
Kris Lovejoy, director of Governance and Risk Management and Corporate Security Strategy at IBM, spoke with CNET's Robert Vamosi about the report. She cites nine trends companies should be watching:
1. Securing virtualized environments
2. Alternative ways to delivery security
3. Securing mobile devices
4. Managing risk and compliance
5. Identity governance
6. Information security
7. Predictable security of applications
8. Protecting the evolving network
9. Sense and respond physical security

In this week's Security Bites podcast, CNET's Robert Vamosi talks about user authentication with Kim Cameron, chief architect with the Identity and Security group at Microsoft.
At this year's PDC and again at WinHec, Microsoft certainly talked up its new Windows Azure cloud-based services, along with Windows 7. It has also been talking about Geneva, the code name for the next version of CardSpace, the Microsoft user authentication system. One goal of Geneva is to extend the reach of its predecessor, Active Directory Federation Services.
To help developers, Microsoft unveiled at PDC and WinHec the Geneva Server and the Geneva Framework. To play well with other system, Geneva accepts industry standards WS-Trust and WS-Federation, as well as the SAML 2.0 protocol.
(Credit:
Microsoft)
Windows CardSpace Geneva releases digitally signed security tokens to Web sites, and allows multiple sites to accept the same tokens, so users don't have to be authenticated for various related sites. On the other hand, if a phishing site lures a user to accidentally use a card and submit a token, that token would not be "redeemable" at any other site and therefore is not useful for impersonating the user in any other context.
Another example of its use might be that an enterprise could have its employees use their Windows Live ID to access various assets within the company.
In addition to working on Geneva at Microsoft, Cameron is part of the Identify Card Foundation, a group that is advocating open standards around the use of ID cards for authentication.

In this week's Security Bites podcast, Robert Vamosi speaks with Ryan Naraine, security evangelist for Kaspersky and Zero Day blogger for ZDNet, about malicious software.
Naraine recently spoke at a conference on emerging security threats sponsored by the Georgia Tech Information Security Center about the increasing risks of malware on social networks, such as Facebook pages that to lead people to Google pages with additional links to malware sites (a two-step infection process), and the more straightforward approach of Facebook being used for botnets.
In this podcast, Naraine and Vamosi talk about the changing nature of threats today and what we might see in the future.

In this week's Security Bites podcast, Robert Vamosi spoke with Patrik Runald, chief security adviser at F-Secure, about the need for a new international agency to handle cybercrime. Although there have been several high-profile arrests--such as that of "Chao," an alleged Turkish ATM skimmer-- Runald said, "the message we're sending today is not enough."
With a budget of only about $90 million (U.S.), Interpol was created, in part, to fight drug trafficking and human trafficking worldwide, and now it has taken on Internet crimes without any direct increase in funding. Runald concludes, "there's not enough resources to do this, and not enough coordination to do this."
He suggests that the European Union, the U.S., and maybe the G8 could fund such an organization. Even the United Nations might get involved. "Whether it's Interpol getting more funding or the U.N. spear-heading, it doesn't matter. The whole point was to raise the topic for discussion."
Runald also said some industries are reluctant to disclose how much is lost to cybercrime. Certainly banks don't disclose how much is lost due to phishing attacks. "If that was well known that might convince governments to help fund this type of organization."

Voting--it's the cornerstone of our democracy. But in recent years, both the systems we use and the trust we have in the accuracy of our votes have been challenged.
A new report (PDF) looks at all the systems currently in use--from paper ballots to Direct-Recording Electronic machines--and the issues that surround them. Researchers at Fortify analyzed threats against three phases of an election (voter registration, casting votes, and tabulating votes), highlighting specific ways voting systems have been compromised, summarizing the strengths and weaknesses of current voting techniques, and then providing guidance for voters to ensure their votes are handled properly in upcoming elections.
This week, Robert Vamosi spoke with co-authors Brian Chess and Jacob West of Fortify about their report.
Not surprisingly, Chess and West draw parallels between the electronic systems handling our votes and those that handle our financial transactions. They conclude with several ways the federal and state governments can work with voting machine vendors to adopt business software assurance techniques into the systems they create.
