Podcast
Top 5 Reasons for Building Governance Into the Cloud (44:34 minutes)
Proper service governance is critical for businesses to modernize and
prosper in cloud computing operations. Major vendors are already
recognizing this need and reflecting it in their product offerings.
However, what specifically needs to be governed, and how? How can cloud
governance help organizations provide better management and better
modeling around processes?

Today's Story Highlights

Adesso's New Slimtouch Keyboard: Terrific Touchpad, Loopy Layout
Adesso's newest keyboard, the Wireless Slimtouch Ergo, is a love-it-or-
hate-it type of product. If you can get along without the features it
misses and get through the learning curve, you might just keep it. It
has a few interesting features to offer those looking for a change of
pace. However, making the move probably will not be an easy transition.

A Tale of Two Demos: Innovation vs. Desperation
Over the last two weeks I attended two events: one organized by the Blu-
ray folks and one by HP. Both PR teams did excellent jobs; however, one
had a strong offering to work with, while the other was stuck with a
toad of a product offering. Both products look to add value to platforms
that are struggling at the moment.

Conspiracy Theories and the 'Smoking Gun'
Linux bloggers are never shy about laying blame at Microsoft's door, but
in recent days the accusations seemed to be flying faster than ever.
First, Groklaw published a post entitled, "Linux on Netbooks: The
Smoking Gun." "Microsoft continues their predatory ways," lamented
Anonymous in the Groklaw comments.

The Troublesome Task of Rejiggering the Keyboard
Lenovo put nearly a year of research into two design changes that
debuted on an updated ThinkPad laptop this week. No, not the thinner,
lighter form or the textured touchpad -- rather, the extra-large
"Delete" and "Escape" keys. It may seem like a small change, but when
you start messing around with the keyboard, people get nervous,
according to Lenovo's David Hill.

Building a Better 'Bot: Behind the Scenes With the Transformers
Giant alien robots don't actually exist. So the dozens featured in
"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" had to be built from the ground
up. That effort took hundreds of artists, thousands of hours and even
caused one computer to explode. "We lost some machinery," visual effects
supervisor Scott Farrar said with a smile. "The thing just kind of gave
up."

Google Throws Its Voice to the Masses
Three months after unveiling its Google Voice application, Google
unveiled a limited public roll-out on Thursday. The application's home
site says the tool is available by invitation only. Anyone can sign up
for an invitation, though they must then wait for a go-ahead from
Google. Google has added several features to the application since
March.
