MozillaLONDON The maker of one of the Internet's most popular browsers
is taking on one of the world's best known purveyors of surveillance
software.The Mozilla Foundation responsible for the Firefox browser
accuses Britain's Gamma International Ltd. of hijacking the Firefox brand
to camouflage Gamma's electronic espionage products.Researchers have found
several samples of Gamma's FinFisher spy software disguised as a Firefox
file, apparently in an effort to fool computer users into believing the
virus is harmless.Mozilla says in a statement that it has formally demanded
Gamma end the practice, which it calls abusive.Gamma, based in the English
town of Andover, has recently found itself in the spotlight over the
surveillance software it markets to governments and law enforcement.Gamma
did not return emails seeking comment Wednesday.
an eagerness to play around without
knowing what exactly to do. The lesson: Read the directions.Tap the touch-sensitive
temple piece or simply tilt your head up and the screen activates,
displaying the time and two words: Ok Glass. Speak them aloud and
the voice-activated device gives you a menu with a few simple options:
Google, take a picture, record a video, get directions, send a message,
make a call, hang out.Ask the device to Google something and, thanks
to a Bluetooth link to your smartphone or the built-in Wi-Fi, it
will search the Web almost immediately. I tried Googling the length of
the Golden Gate bridge (8,980 feet), how to say I love you
in Japanese (Watashi wa anata o aishite), and checking the weather (No,
it isnt raining in New York, the weather is 58 and clear).The
future is a robotic voice literally telling me to skip the raincoat,
apparently.Pictures with Glass are reasonably good; it has a 5 megapixel
camera, comparable to that of a newish smartphone. Thats not the greatest
quality, but it works. I immediately found myself wanting to edit images,
crop out the backgrounds and boost the colors. You can do that
all on Google+, of course, but theres little interface directly through
Glass itself.The real charm of Glass comes in sharing, however, not touching
your temples. Glass integrates deeply with Google+, which youre probably
a member of already, like it or not. Its no Facebook, sure,
but it does have tens of mill

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">our health. Under Obama's
overhaul, insurers will no longer be able to turn away the sick,
or charge them more. The health care questions will disappear, but they'll
be replaced by questions about your income. Consumers who underestimate
their incomes could be in for an unwelcome surprise later on in
the form of smaller tax refunds."Consumers will have a simple, easy-to-understand
way to apply for health coverage later this year," said Medicare chief
Marilyn Tavenner, also overseeing the rollout of the health care law. She
said the application is "significantly shorter than industry standards."Among
the sections eliminated in the new form was one that asked applicants
if they also wanted to register to vote. Some congressional Republicans
had criticized that, calling it politically motivated.The Associated Press
contributed to this report.

The author's first experience with Google Glass, a futuristic headmounted
computer that Google hopes will change the world.FoxNews.com / Perry ChiaramonteToday
is my first full day as a cyborg.Ive spent the past 18
or so hours wearing Google Glass -- the Internet giants vision of
an always-on, digitally connected future, disguised as a pair of glassless
eyeglasses.Looking past the double-takes and outright stares from everyone
looking at me, its easy to see the potential of this crazy
gizmo. But for now, well, its weird being one of the borg.Glass
is a lopsided yet oddly comfortable hunk of plastic, silicon and titanium.
The brains of my device were housed in two hunks of gray
plastic, all on the right side (and no, theres currently no option
to swap sides). Google has versions in a variety of colors, including
a gorgeous bright orange. If youre going to call attention to yourself,
may as well do it in style.At the back is a battery
and a tiny speaker that rests against your head, and uses the
bones in your skull to amplify its output. The front contains the
camera, processor and a tiny display screen -- your interface to the
world of Google.I picked mine up from Googles temporary Glass office in
New York. And after a 90-minute walkthrough with several Glass guides, I
was ready to set out in the world.I found using Glass to
be remarkably intuitive and straightforward. Others who tried it had mixed
luck, however, which mainly revealed
