Podcast
Getting IT to Speak Business-ese (12:51 minutes)
For the most part, IT people tend to operate in their own space and
speak their own language. In many organizations, the department is
treated like its own silo, and it often doesn't report directly to the
CEO. As a result, IT is too often disconnected from the elements driving
the business. However, that reality is beginning to slowly change.

Today's Story Highlights

Your Web App, Their Experience: Load Testing 2.0
Imagine that it's "show time" for your company's annual peak period of
e-commerce traffic. If you've ever been an e-commerce manager for a toy
company on Black Friday, a floral company the day before Mother's Day,
or a sporting events ticketing company a month before the Super Bowl,
then you can surely relate.

Photo Mechanic Cuts Photogs' Greasy Grunt Work
While programs like Picasa and iPhoto can meet the image organizing
needs of many digital photographers, professional and prosumer shooters
demand more muscle from their wares. Over the years, they've sought that
muscle from applications like Photo Mechanic. The robust image
organizer, published by Camera Bits, recently celebrated two milestones.

Scientists Warn SS Numbering System Is Crackable
For all the concern about identity theft, researchers say there's a
surprisingly easy way for the technology-savvy to figure out the
precious nine digits of Americans' Social Security numbers. "It's good
that we found it before the bad guys," Alessandro Acquisti of Carnegie-
Mellon University in Pittsburgh said of the method for predicting the
numbers.

Online Program Seeks to Put Insomniac Surfers to Sleep
Sleepless people sometimes use the Internet to get through the night.
Now a small study shows promising results for insomniacs with nine weeks
of Internet-based therapy. No human therapist is involved. The Internet
software gives advice, even specific bedtimes, based on users' sleep
diaries. Patients learn better sleep habits -- like avoiding daytime
naps -- through stories, quizzes and games.

The Crunchpad Cometh
A prototype of a mobile Internet device dubbed the "Crunchpad" will
reportedly make its public debut later this month. The Crunchpad is a
low-cost touchscreen tablet designed for Web surfing, video chat and
email use. The main name behind the Crunchpad is Michael Arrington, who
told the San Francisco Business Times that he's incorporated a company
in Singapore, Crunchpad Inc., in order to manufacture the devices.

Has Nokia Been Bitten by the Android Bug?
Nokia is denying rumors that it is about to unveil a smartphone running
on Google's Android operating system. "There is no truth to this rumor
whatsoever," spokesperson Joseph Gallo told LinuxInsider on Monday. "It
is a well-known fact that Symbian is our platform of choice for
smartphones."
