Podcast
IT Needs a New Drug (57:10 minutes)
How does the term "cloud computing" relate to the rivers of
technological alphabet soup -- BMP, CEP, SOA, SaaS, WOA and so forth --
flowing into IT today? Perhaps calling it all "the cloud" is
oversimplifying things, and we need a new concept to propel us to the
next stage. What will be the next huge, overarching, all-encompassing
phase of enterprise technology? What's IT's new drug?

Today's Story Highlights

Neutralizing the Smartphone Security Threat
There are many common, but inaccurate, assumptions about the security
and privacy of smartphones and other handheld converged devices. For
many corporate employees today, mobile phones and PDAs have replaced
PCs. Enterprise workers are now performing the same functions they
previously carried out on their desktop PCs on much smaller devices,
virtually anywhere and anytime.

Wind River Releases Hard and Heavy Hypervisor
Wind River on Tuesday announced the availability of a high-performance
Type-1 hypervisor as the latest addition to its VxWorks product
portfolio. The Wind River Hypervisor Multicore Software Solution for
device development supports virtualization on single and multicore
processors.

Shuttle Launch Delayed 3 Weeks by Hydrogen Leak
For the second time in four days, a potentially dangerous hydrogen gas
leak forced NASA to delay shuttle Endeavour's launch to the
international space station, this time until July at the earliest.
Launch officials waited almost an hour after the leak appeared during
fueling, trying to fix it through remote commands, before calling off
Wednesday's pre-dawn launch.

New BlackBerry Tour Caters to Globetrotting Users
Research In Motion announced on Tuesday that its new BlackBerry 9630
Tour world phone will hit the shelves this summer. What's really new
about it is that it supports 3G EV-DO networks in North America, as well
as 3G UMTS/HSPA and quad-band EDGE/GPRS/GSM networks abroad. Other
features are similar to the features available in most of the newer
BlackBerry devices.

Iran Protests: The Whole World Is Watching, Flickring, Tweeting
"The whole world is watching" was one of the loudest rallying cries of
Vietnam protesters gathered in the streets of Chicago outside the
Democratic convention in 1968. Forty-one years later, the same slogan
still applies and is even more relevant in the chaotic streets of
Tehran. Thanks to social media technologies, the whole world is indeed
watching Iranian citizens rise up against suspect presidential election
results.

Opera Gives You a Server of Your Own
Norway-based Opera Software opened access Tuesday to what it described
as a "revolutionary" technology that allows average computer users to
set up browser-based servers to share files and photos, stream music and
chat. "Unite," as the service is called, is included in a beta release
of the company's Opera browser.
