These are my links for May 14th:

• Microsoft Working On Motion-Sensing Camera For the Xbox 360 – Uh, don't hold your breath. The Wii can barely do this with a special bar and controllers, imagine how wonky this will be with software trying to guess with any accuracy what your hands, legs or head are doing with any accuracy or responsiveness.
• FYI: Encryption is “not necessary” – Having worked both for service providers providing online services and holding tons of multi-tennant data, I find these "cloud computing security" discussions a bit funny. I mean, come on people, just because we call it Cloud or SAAS doesn't mean it hasn't been and isn't already being done. It apparently means that its about to be done by rank amateurs if the kinds of things Kim heard in this story are indicative. Beware whom you choose as a service provider. Do solid, in-depth audits of your own. Insist on their being up to date on regulatory and best-practice certifications. i.e. look hard before you jump on that cloud.
• Sony Earnings Fall From Ugly Tree, Hit Every Branch on the Way Down – I'm not sure why as I have no personal stake in Sony whatsoever, but I'm really kinda enjoying their decline. Probably mostly as I've long seen them to be incredibly arrogant in recent years as their dominance across the board continually slipped and slipped and they did nothing about it. Perhaps Stringer can turn things around. I know I'd love to see someone come out and provide me the iPod / iTunes replacement I want (speaking of unbelievably arrogant companies), so if Sony can do that… Go, Stringer, Go!
