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
App Testing at the Speed of Change
Adaptability is the name of the game in our fast-paced society. In order
to remain on top, every company needs to adapt to the market in which it
participates. Software and application developers -- actually, the
entire IT department, if you want to get technical -- are particularly
affected by this fast pace of change.

Microsoft Puts C#, CLI Under No-Lawsuit Umbrella
Microsoft made good Tuesday on a promise it made months ago to the open
source community that it would not sue software developers who use its
EMCA C# programming language and Common Language Infrastructure, or CLI.
This announcement aims to calm growing fears that Microsoft might
restrict open source projects by going after program developers for
patent or other intellectual property infringements.

Panasonic Unveils Robotic Drug Dispenser
Panasonic said Tuesday has developed a medical robot that dispenses
drugs to patients, the Japanese electronics giant's first step into
robotics. Panasonic will sell the robot to Japanese hospitals next March
and will market it in the United States and Europe later. Panasonic
spokesperson Akira Kadota said the robot will cost hundreds of thousands
of dollars.

Thin TVs Are In - If Your Wallet's Fat
Lee Richman installs high-end home theater systems that can cost as much
as $170,000. Lately, he's noticed that some of his clients -- or their
interior designers -- are perking up when they hear about ultra-slim TV
sets, which come off the wall only about an inch. The difference between
these thin models and regular flat-panel TVs, which generally are about
3 or 4 inches deep, is pretty small.

Sony Gets Over Its Netbook Aversion
Sony joined the netbook race on Monday with a new line of Vaio models.
The move comes nearly a year after the Sony executive in charge of the
Vaio line derided the diminutive computers as part of a damaging "race
to the bottom" for computer manufacturers. Retailing for about $500, the
Vaio W series isn't quite at the bottom of the netbook market, which
floors out under $300.

ActiveX Shark Stalks IE Surfers
Microsoft has warned Web surfers that an unused ActiveX control in
Internet Explorer could let hackers launch malicious code on the user's
system if it's running an older OS like Windows XP or Windows Server
2003. Hackers have reportedly already begun exploiting the
vulnerability, and security experts predict the attacks could get worse.
Microsoft has posted a fix for the problem online.
