1. Spotlight Feature: The Olympics: A Test of IT Strength
------------------------------------------------------------

The 2008 Summer Olympics kicked off in Beijing Friday, and this year's
Summer Games will serve up highlights outside of athletic prowess and
national pride. China's hosting of this year's Games has made them a
flash point for a wide range of issues having to do with China and
international relations, from freedom of the press, human rights, Tibet
and terrorism to pollution and climate change.

2. Editor's Pick: City-Sized Collider Set for Smashing Debut
------------------------------------------------------------

A machine poised to make science history is now ready to launch. The
Large Hadron Collider -- a giant machine built 330 feet below the
France-Switzerland border -- is scheduled to fire up for the first time
next month, on Sept. 10. The LHC, as its name suggests, works by
smashing tiny particles called "hadrons" together at extremely high
energies -- higher than has ever been possible before.

3. Readers' Pick: Better Than Beach Reading: A Linux Starter Kit
------------------------------------------------------------

This week, we here at LinuxInsider felt it our duty to help those who
are fed up with Redmond to find their way to Linux. This is August -- a
month of transition and new beginnings, after all -- so what better time
for geeks who have been lost on the dark side to come over to the Light
that is Linux?

4. Consumer Highlight: 'GTA IV' to Move In on PC's Turf
------------------------------------------------------------

PC gamers will see the release of "Grand Theft Auto IV" for their
platform of choice this fall. Game developer Rockstar and parent company
Take-Two announced Wednesday that the popular title will hit store
shelves on Nov. 18. "[That] is the perfect time to release this game --
well, next to perfect," Mark DeLoura, a video game technology
consultant, told TechNewsWorld.

5. Hot Topic: Where Are All the Dangerous DNS Exploits?
------------------------------------------------------------

Dan Kaminsky, the security researcher who first sounded the alarm that
the entire Internet was in grave danger due to a widespread
vulnerability, has revealed in front of a packed audience at the Black
Hat security conference the details behind the initial subterfuge -- and
potential problems that could still pick apart the Web world as we know
it.
