Today's Story Highlights

The Many Layers of the Cloud
Let's discuss cloud computing in the context of the real-world
enterprise. We've certainly heard a lot about the vision for cloud
computing and what it can do for the delivery of applications, services,
infrastructure, and even development and deployment. What's less clear
is how we take the vision and apply it to today's enterprise concerns
and requirements.

Collaborating in the Cloud: Q&A With PBworks CEO Jim Groff
Cloud computing is remaking just about every software category -- and
project management is no exception. In the on-premise software era,
collaboration was limited by the technology of a particular firm, as
well as the security requirements of a particular industry. That was
then, of course.

T-Mobile's Second Android Coming in August
T-Mobile USA's follow-up to the first "Google phone" will go on sale in
early August, the carrier said Monday. The "T-Mobile myTouch 3G with
Google" will be a touchscreen phone and will lack the physical keyboard
of the T-Mobile G1, the first phone that used Google's Android software.

The Music Industry's $2 Million Can of Worms
The $1.92 million verdict against a Minnesota woman accused of sharing
24 songs over the Internet could ratchet up the pressure on other
defendants to settle with the recording industry -- if the big fine can
withstand an appeal. "Normally in our American legal system, we say the
punishment should fit the crime," said Ken Port, director of the
Intellectual Property Institute.

Drug Company Data Mining: Healthcare or Marketing?
The prescription drugs you take are on the minds of a lot of people:
judges on two federal courts, legislators in several states, countless
doctors and, at the center, the companies that make money by figuring
out who's prescribing what. Data-mining firms have sued to block laws
restricting their activities in New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont.

RIAA Beats Minnesota Mom to the Tune of $1.92 Million
Jammie Thomas-Rasset, the Minnesota mom who has been at the center of
the RIAA's legal battle against music piracy, has been found liable for
illegal file-sharing in the retrial of Capitol Records v. Thomas-Rasset.
She now faces a $1.92 million penalty, or $80,000 for each of 24 songs
she made available online through the Kazaa file-sharing network.
