There are some unexpected twists to how Apple has implemented the new player and a second new iPod, and the event featured a crowd-pleasing appearance from Bono and the Edge of U2.

So a couple recipients of recent National Science Foundation Cyber Trust research grants are taking a naturalistic approach: If you can't beat them, contain them. The Carnegie Mellon University-based Security Through Interaction Modeling research center, with $6.4 million in NSF funding, will examine the ecology of computer networks. One project will be to model healthy network interaction to see how it differs from network activity under an attack.

At the gate, you find out your connecting flight is late, so you've got a couple hours to kill. If the airport has Wi-Fi, why not watch TV on your laptop? OnAir Entertainment, a Silicon Valley startup, builds media servers that record broadcast, cable, or satellite TV, so airport Wi-Fi providers can offer it along with wireless Internet access. Already, users at the 26 gates at Austin, Texas's Austin-Bergstrom airport who log on to the Wayport Wi-Fi network will see a new option: "Watch Live TV." Users can watch any of eight TV channels live or any show aired in the last day.

Adobe is jumping on that issue, gaining backers for a standardized format for raw digital images. When digital images are saved as JPEG or TIFF files, they are altered from the original raw image file, and image artifacts can crop up. Adobe's new Digital Negative (DNG) specification and free converter tool ( www.adobe.com/dng), let users save images--from more than 65 camera types--before any processing goes on inside the camera.
