Why Oslo Is Off-Limits to Apple's Aerial Photographers
Apple's taken plenty of flak for its mapping system, and some of it is
well-deserved. After all, the maps have erroneously led drivers into the
middle of nowhere and shown buildings that appear as though they're
melting. Don't blame Apple if its images of Oslo, Norway, aren't
crystal-clear, however. That one's not on Apple. Norway has denied Apple
the license required to take aerial photos of Oslo.

Today's Story Highlights
Shared FB Photo Albums Now In With the In Crowd
Facebook on Monday reportedly began rolling out a new feature that
allows multiple users to upload images to the same online photo album.
Whereas previously users could upload photos only to albums they had
created themselves -- with a maximum of 1,000 photos per album -- the
new feature allows up to 50 people to contribute to the same album on
the social network.

US Internet Access May Be as Good as It Gets
The number of U.S. households connected to the Internet has risen, but
20 percent of households nationwide still don't have broadband access,
according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project. Seventy percent
of U.S. homes have an Internet connection, while 10 percent rely solely
on connectivity via a smartphone. Fifty-six percent of U.S. adults now
own smartphones.

Chinese Domain Buckles Under One-Two DDoS Punch
Chinese websites with the ".cn" domain name extension fell on Sunday to
a distributed denial of service, or DDoS, attack, the state-run China
Internet Network Information Center reported. Two attacks reportedly
were launched -- the first at midnight on Sunday and the second at 4
p.m. CINIC described the second attack as the largest DDoS attack it has
faced so far.

Nokia Threatens to Leave India Over New Taxes
Nokia sent a letter to India's commerce ministry threatening to leave
the country because of Indian taxes. The letter said that the "political
risk" in India was increasing due to tax claims from the government.
India's passage in March of a retroactive income tax violates a
bilateral treaty between India and Nokia's native Finland, Nokia says.
