NY Times internet fee/new Apple device integration...

The New York Times is starting a fee-based system for avid internet readers. And now it has been reported that NY Times workers have been working with Apple. It's clear what's going on here. The new Apple product will feature a new mobile device to perhaps replace the newspaper. But, does it fit in your pocket? You can't leave it on the subway or in a trash can (unless you have hundreds of dollars to throw away).

Retro GEOINT or new GPS technology

From GotGeoINT-
Our friends at DoD Buzz recently came out with a story that highlights how the U.S. Air Force — In the face of threats from jamming and attacks on satellites — needs to lessen its dependence on the Global Positioning System and develop alternatives to GPS. According to the article, Gen. Norton Schwartz, Air Force Chief of Staff, said that GPS signals are particularly vulnerable in time of war since enemies know of the reliance U.S. forces place on its highly accurate signal. The article points out that alternatives to GPS include accurate digital maps, if not the good old ink and paper versions. This certainly caught our attention — the printed/paper maps thing. Is this really true? Is GEOINT going retro? Our gut is saying probably not. We anticipate that technology innovations will trump good old fashioned printed maps. here
