Yes, really Some chucklehead working for Microsoft thought it would be funny to slip a thinly camouflaged sexist remark -- "big boobs" -- into software code that connects the Linux kernel to Microsoft's HyperV virtualization product. Read More A camera in a pen and a kiosk in an iPad We start this week with stealthy, James Bondish stuff: Let's say you're at a trade show and want to record your conversations as you pose as a prospect to the competition, or maybe you want to surreptitiously record the life-sucking, brain-damaging ennui of a staff meeting so you can show your better half what life is like at the coal face.

They've taken huge leaps forward with technology and the potential doors they can open for users, but taken some steps backward in the handling of their business practices. It's frustrating and unnerving to see the networking giant simultaneously excite and then annoy consumers. Let's...

Virtuata is a provider of virtual machine and cloud security and will be incorporated into Cisco's data center group, which is run by former Q-Fabric chief David Yen.

Yet "face recognition allows for covert, remote and mass capture and identification of images -- and the photos that may end up in a database include not just a person's face but also how she is dressed and possibly whom she is with.
