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

Friend or Fraud? Security and Social Networks
Back in January, friends of Seattle, Wash., resident Bryan Rutberg were
stunned when they read e-mails from his Facebook account accompanied by
his photo. In the messages, Bryan appeared to claim he was in big
trouble and that he needed their help. At least one friend wired him
money. However, Rutberg wasn't really in trouble and was in no need of
assistance.

Smartbooks: Embracing Linux With Open ARMs
Asus notwithstanding, netbooks have received a great deal of attention
in the Linux community for their role in gaining wider acceptance for
our favorite operating system. So, when Freescale and Qualcomm recently
debuted a line of what they call "smartbooks" at Computex -- featuring
ARM processors and a low price point -- the blogosphere had no choice
but to sit up and take notice.

Star Defense Brings New Dimension to Classic Strategy Game
Just about every "tower defense"-style game ever made can be described
like this: You've got a base you need to protect. Wave after wave of bad
guys keep on attacking it, running down a long and winding path before,
I don't know, running face-first into the front door, or something.
Point is, when they reach the gate, they do damage, and it's your job to
strategically set up a bunch of defensive towers along that path.

The Pirate Bay Offers Safe Haven to Iran Critics
Popular file-sharing site The Pirate Bay said Wednesday it has helped
launch an Internet network in support of Iranian election critics
allowing users to dodge the regime's censorship rules by surfing
anonymously. The Pirate Bay, whose operators were convicted in April of
helping others commit copyright violations, temporarily changed its logo
to "The Persian Bay" early Wednesday.

Study: U.S. Broadband Adoption Leaps Despite Recession, Rising Prices
The recession may indeed be forcing you to cut back on some cellphone
and cable television services, but apparently it will only get your
high-speed Internet access when it pries your computer mouse from your
cold, dead hands. The latest Pew Internet and American Life Project
study, released Wednesday, shows broadband adoption growing in the face
of a sour economy.

Software Update Teaches Old iPhones New Tricks
As expected, Apple's iPhone OS 3.0 software update was made available to
users Wednesday morning. The software contains dozens of new features --
some of which may appear incidental for most users and some of which
have been hotly anticipated. That latter category would include copy and
paste functionality as well as the ability to use landscape typing mode
in all applications.
