Lavabit shutdown marks another costly blemish for U.S. tech companies
Lavabit, the purported email provider to NSA leaker Edward Snowden, abruptly
suspended its operations yesterday under mysterious circumstances. Lavabit
founder and operator Ladar Levison said that after much soul searching , he'd
decided to shut down the U.S.-based service -- but that he couldn't legally
reveal his reasons.

The Amazoning of news has now begun
Jeff Bezos' purchase of the old-media Washington Post took everyone by surprise
this week. Expectations are high that after pioneering e-commerce at Amazon.com
and becoming a major force in digital content delivery with the Kindle tablet
and Amazon Prime streaming service, Bezos will now pull off a tech-oriented
reboot of the newspaper publishing industry.

Cyber security pros in high demand, highly paid, and highly selective
Experts in cyber security are among the most sought-after professionals in the
tech sector, with demand for workers in that field outpacing other IT jobs by a
wide margin. A new survey by Semper Secure, a public-private partnership in
Virginia formed to advance the cyber security profession, offers a fresh glimpse
at what security workers earn, what they look for in an employer, and where the
hubs of innovation are located.

Nvidia drops Tegra revenue forecast as Windows RT woes loom
Nvidia is expecting Tegra chip revenue to drop by as much as 40 percent this
year, with the company indirectly blaming Microsoft's Windows RT OS for the
decline. "We don't expect as much return from the investment as we had hoped,"
CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said on a Thursday conference call to discuss Nvidia's
second-quarter financial earnings. He said the expected shortfall was related to
one particular platform, and though he didn't name it, the reference to Windows
RT was clear.

New security scheme tracks text spammers in hours
A new way to track the source of spam text messages can detect culprits within
two hours, helping reduce the illicit traffic that can clog cell towers and
disconnect legitimate calls, researchers say. Called Greystar, the scheme
invokes the use of phone numbers assigned to laptops, tablets and the like,
which don't typically receive any SMS messages, according to the research to be
presented at the 22nd Usenix Security conference next week.
