Coming Battle Over Open Source Phones
Forget the iPhone. The real battle in the mobile industry is over open-source software.
The latest salvo: Nokia's (nyse: NOK - news - people )announcement this week that it would purchase London-based Symbian Ltd.--a cellphone operating system it co-owned with Sony (nyse: SNE - news - people ), Ericsson (nasdaq: ERIC - news - people ) and Samsung, among others--and distribute the once costly software for free.
To oversee that distribution, Symbian is establishing a nonprofit alliance studded with other tech giants, such as AT&T (nyse: T - news - people ), LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics, STMicroelectronics (nyse: STM - news - people ), Texas Instruments (nyse: TXN - news - people ) and Vodafone (nyse: VOD - news - people ).
Together, foundation members will weave the various strains of Symbian into a single mobile platform. The foundation plans to release the software under a royalty-free public license so that as many developers, handset makers and carriers as possible will adopt it.

Hackable Broadband Left Unpatched
On July 8, tech heavyweights including Microsoft, Cisco Systems and Sun Microsystems teamed up to fix a fundamental flaw in the Internet, one that could allow any Web user to be invisibly redirected to fraudulent sites designed to steal banking passwords or install malicious software on users' PCs.
So why, more than a week after those companies' software patches were publicly released, do millions of Internet users remain vulnerable to the attack?
As of Thursday, Internet providers including AT&T (nyse: T - news - people ), Time Warner Cable (nyse: TWC - news - people ), Cablevision (nyse: CVC - news - people ) and EarthLink (nasdaq: ELNK - news - people ) had yet to install the software patch that would protect their customers from a cybercriminal exploit known as Domain Name System (DNS) Cache Poisoning, according to the findings of a Web-based analysis tool created by Dan Kaminsky, the security researcher who originally found the bug.

Cross Training Improves Fitness and Reduces Injury
Varying your workouts can improve performance and reduce burn-out.
You consider yourself to be in better than average shape. You run several times a week for health and fitness and maybe do an occasional fun run on the weekend. Some friends come into town for the holidays and you decide to go skiing. No problem, you're in great shape, right? Wrong. After a day on the slopes you feel like you've been run over by Santa's sleigh and all his reindeer. What's going on?
You may be in great shape, for the sort of exercise you do routinely. But if that's all you do, day after day, you may be setting yourself up for injury or mental burnout and that is not a good way to get fit. What can help prevent injury and burnout? Cross training.
