Twitter Bug and Steve Jobs Return

Twitter suffered a worm over the weekend, which wasn't the service's first brush with security problems, but did mark an increased awareness of the vulnerability of the service. Should users be able to trust every link that people send their followers? How can users figure out what's trustworthy and what isn't on Twitter, and on other social services? We talk to PCMag Editor-in-chief Lance Ulanoff, and JKOnTheRun's Kevin Tofel about the circle of trust in the cloud.

Also, Steve Jobs' leave of absence is nearing its end, and with a Wall Street Journal report citing the Apple founder as overseeing company strategy while looking for his health, some pundits, like ZDNET's Larry Dignan, posed the question if Steve Jobs is better off as a figurehead who handles corporate strategy as a Chairman, rather than running the day-to-day operations as CEO Tim Cook is currently. Steve tried the "hands-off" approach in the 90s when he returned to Apple, making his title "interim CEO" rather than plain CEO, and our panel agrees Stevie J will have a hard time taking his hands off of the wheel, no matter how capable the team. Plus, given the fact that product development cycles are much longer than six months, Apple's fate in the hands of Jobs' successors remains uncertain with four months of leave. Regardless of the situation, one thing we can all agree on is a speedy recovery for Mr. Jobs.
