BogenDorpher writes "Looks like Microsoft is trying to steal the spotlight from Google — a new social media site from the company was accidentally revealed. The site, branded 'Tulalip,' was not functional, and it was taken down shortly after its discovery. It appears to be a 'social search' service. Microsoft says it went live by accident, and was simply an 'internal design project.'"

An anonymous reader writes "Mozilla Labs has just launched the prototype of its BrowserID project and the accompanying Verified Email Protocol standard. Basically, BrowserID is a browser-based federated login provider like Facebook Connect, but without the privacy leaks. Fundamentally, BrowserID is public key encryption. You register an email address with your browser, which is then confirmed with a standard 'click here to confirm' email. A public/private key pair is then generated; your browser keeps the private key, and your email provider keeps the public key. Now, when you visit Facebook (or any site that supports BrowserID), your browser gives Facebook your email address and an identity token signed with your private key. Facebook queries your email provider for your public key, decrypts your identity token, and logs you in — voila, secure, private, browser-based logins. Oh, and the prototype is written in HTML and JavaScript — so it works across every modern browser, too."

An anonymous reader writes "AMD's Radeon HD 6000 series open-source Gallium3D driver for Linux is now working and running at 60~70% (in some cases, 80%) of the speed of the official proprietary 'Catalyst' driver. This is a big speed improvement in Mesa/Gallium3D compared to the times when the performance was crippling or even just a few years ago when AMD didn't support open-source drivers. When will NVIDIA change ways?"

bill_mcgonigle writes "After more than a year, Wired has finally released the (nearly) full chat logs between Adrian Lamo and Bradley Manning. Glen Greenwald provides analysis of what Wired previously left out. Greenwald writes: 'Lamo lied to and manipulated Manning by promising him the legal protections of a journalist-source and priest-penitent relationship, and independently assured him that their discussions were "never to be published" and were not "for print." Knowing this, Wired hid from the public this part of their exchange, published the chat in violation of Lamo's clear not-for-publication pledges, allowed Lamo to be quoted repeatedly in the media over the next year as some sort of credible and trustworthy source driving reporting on the Manning case.'"
