<title>Verizon to kill unlimited data plans for existing subscribers</title>
<description><![CDATA[by Marguerite Reardon: 
Verizon Wireless subscribers who have held onto their $30-a-month unlimited data plans will soon be forced to upgrade to a new tiered offering the company plans to launch this summer, according to the Web site Fierce Wireless.

Speaking at the JP Morgan Technology Media and Telecom conference today, Verizon Communications CFO Fran Shammo told investors that the company's 3G unlimited data plans that customers were allowed to hang onto last year when Verizon switched to a tiered offering will soon go away entirely. Instead, the company will migrate its existing and new 4G LTE customers to a new &quot;data share plan.&quot; ]]></description>

<title>UK Government Staff Caught Snooping On Citizen Data</title>
<description><![CDATA[By Zack Whittaker: 
Don’t worry about hackers illegally accessing government systems. It turns out government workers and civil servants who are trusted with private citizen data are more likely to access your data illegally.
The UK government is haemorrhaging data — private and confidential citizen data — from medical records to social security details, and even criminal records, according to figures obtained through Freedom of Information requests.]]></description>

This feature highlights the 30 best features we’ve discovered in the Windows 8 Consumer Preview – and ten features that we hope Microsoft finds time to add to its operating system before its expected launch at the end of this year. ]]></description>

<title>Facebook Co-Founder Saverin Gives Up U.S. Citizenship Before IPO</title>
<description><![CDATA[By Danielle Kucera, Sanat Vallikappen and Christine Harper: 
Eduardo Saverin, the billionaire co- founder of Facebook Inc. (FB), renounced his US citizenship before an initial public offering that values the social network at as much as $96 billion, a move that may reduce his tax bill.

Facebook plans to raise as much as $12 billion through the IPO, the biggest in history for an Internet company. Saverin’s stake is about 4 percent, according to the website whoownsfacebook.com. At the high end of the proposed IPO market capitalization, that would be worth about $3.84 billion. His holdings aren’t listed in Facebook’s regulatory filings. ]]></description>

<title>55,000 Twitter Accounts Hacked, Passwords Leaked</title>
<description><![CDATA[by Paul Lilly: 
Tens of thousands of Twitter accounts have been compromised in a recent hack attack in which more than 55,000 passwords were leaked and posted to Pastebin by anonymous hackers. Most of the accounts supposedly belonged to spammers, and there were many duplicate entries, Twitter officials pointed out, but to play it safe, you should probably change your Twitter password today.]]></description>

<title>Microsoft Blocks 3d-Party Browsers In Windows RT, Says Mozilla Counsel</title>
<description><![CDATA[By Nicole Kobie: 
Microsoft is returning to the &quot;digital dark ages&quot; by blocking rival browsers from the ARM version of Windows 8, Firefox-maker Mozilla has said.

Windows 8 will have standard browser support in the Intel editions, but the ARM version - dubbed Windows RT - will only allow Microsoft's Internet Explorer full access. Rival browsers won't be allowed on the &quot;classic&quot; desktop, while Metro style versions will have limited access to APIs.]]></description>

<title>Apple security blunder exposes Lion login passwords in clear text</title>
<description><![CDATA[By Emil Protalinski: 
An Apple programmer, apparently by accident, left a debug flag in the most recent version of the Mac OS X operating system. In specific configurations, applying OS X Lion update 10 7 3 turns on a system-wide debug log file that contains the login passwords of every user who has logged in since the update was applied. The passwords are stored in clear text.]]></description>

<title>Apple HDTV rumor roundup</title>
<description><![CDATA[by Josh Lowensohn: 
There hasn't quite been this much hype, intrique and mystery around an Apple product since the first iPad.

We're speaking, of course, about Apple's TV set. A device that began as a twinkle in an analyst's eye, and has since ballooned into what just about everyone expects Apple to roll out as its next major flagship product.

But where are these rumors coming from? How have they changed? And most importantly, how are you supposed to keep up with them? CNET's rounded down all the major ones below, a document we plan to keep lovingly updated as more tidbits make their way out. ]]></description>

<title>Mozilla Calls CISPA an \"Alarming\" Threat to Privacy</title>
<description><![CDATA[By Gregg Keizer: 
Mozilla is working on a revamp of Firefox to synchronize its various versions -- desktop, tablet, phone and Windows 8 Metro -- into a single visual style, according to documents posted by members of its user interface (UI) design team.

The project, which does not have a name, and the earlier blending of Mozilla's mobile and desktop design groups, is meant to bring more coherence to the various versions of the open-source browser.

<title>Microsoft backs away from CISPA support, citing privacy</title>
<description><![CDATA[by Declan McCullagh: 
Microsoft is no longer as enthusiastic about a controversial cybersecurity bill that would allow Internet and telecommunications companies to divulge confidential customer information to the National Security Agency.
The US House of Representatives approved CISPA by a 248 to 168 margin yesterday in spite of a presidential veto threat and warnings from some House members that the measure represented &quot;Big Brother writ large.&quot; 
In response to queries from CNET, Microsoft, which has long been viewed as a supporter of the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, said this evening that any law must allow &quot;us to honor the privacy and security promises we make to our customers.&quot;]]></description>
