Podcast
Virtualization Reimagined (32:56 minutes)
One way of looking at an effective enterprise virtualization planning
strategy is to boil it down into three ingredients: the role
interconnections play in allowing physical servers to support multiple
virtual servers; the role and importance of CMDBs in terms of
deployment; and how outsourcing can maximize cost efficiencies.

Today's Story Highlights
The Antisocial Inclinations of Social Networks
Last year, the buzz surrounding social networking concerned "data
portability" -- giving Facebook and MySpace users, for example, an easy
way to connect to one another without the need to create new profiles.
That once-deafening buzz has now fallen silent, and the social networks
are back working to corner more of the Web in exclusion of others.

The Twitter Rules
The British government has told civil servants: Go forth and tweet. The
government published guidelines Tuesday on using the microblogging
service Twitter. In contrast to Twitter's limit of 140 characters per
message, the document runs 20 pages, or more than 5,000 words. It tells
civil servants their tweets should be "human and credible" and written
in "informal spoken English."

Big Space Party Breaks Up as Shuttle Undocks From ISS
After 11 days together in orbit, Endeavour undocked from the
international space station on Tuesday and began its trip home, leaving
behind a larger and more energized outpost. The shuttle's departure
broke up the biggest off-the-planet gathering ever: 13 people in space.
Seven astronauts headed back aboard the shuttle and six remained.

Microsoft Fires Starter Gun for WinMo Dev Contest
Microsoft has launched a competition to develop applications on the
Windows Mobile platform, part of the company's effort to follow other
mobile OS makers on the path toward a centralized storefront for all
compatible mobile apps. The prize: a Microsoft Surface, which is a
tabletop multitouch computer with special software, all worth about
$20,000 at retail, according to Microsoft.

Driving Study: Texting Really Really Bad, Dialing Bad, Talking OK?
In what may be a first-of-kind study, researchers at the Virginia Tech
Transportation Institute have concluded text messaging is just about the
most deadly thing you can do behind the wheel of a car. However, talking
on a cellphone isn't that big a deal, the research suggests.

Google Has No Voice at the App Store
Apple has refused to add a Google Voice application to its App store.
Google submitted the app some six weeks ago. Apple's rejection of the
third-party app has disappointed users and raised questions about
partner AT&T's suspected influence in the matter. It has also revived
talk about the increasingly political nature of Apple's decision-making
when it comes to what's allowed at the App Store.
