Welcome to the morning edition of the iTnewswire,

This morning, US computer scientists are preparing to unveil details of a technique that sends secret messages over public fibre-optic networks by hiding the transmission in background interference.

The market for wireless equipped notebooks will see a gradual shift from 802.11g to 802.11n Wi-Fi, but vendors are creating confusion in the market by launching 'pre-n' hardware before the standard is officially ratified, industry experts warned today.

Sun Microsystems yesterday staked a claim to becoming the first Fortune 500 firm to hold an 'in-world' conference in online virtual world Second Life.

Microsoft is testing social networking software that would enable mobile phone subscribers to send instant messages, pinpoint each other's location and share photos.
A privacy group is suing the US Department of Justice to get information about an FBI surveillance system designed to monitor communications delivered by emerging digital technologies.

Will privacy always suffer in the face of emerging technologies? Should real life impinge on virtual life? Mail your comments
