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 Comedy - and Tragedy - of the Commons
Sensitive data in unstructured formats poses a distinct problem to
security- and compliance-minded organizations, a problem exacerbated by
the ubiquity of Web-based portals and collaborative tools such as
Microsoft SharePoint. This research brief describes how current
Microsoft SharePoint users respond to the security challenges raised by
their expanding reliance on collaboration.

Shill-Shocked: The Dark Side of Community Discussion
Name-calling and accusations are nothing new on the Linux blogs, but
lately the mud-slinging has become so intense that it seems fair to say
a good cleaning is in order, for the walls and floors are covered. Much
of the recent ferocity has sprung up over the seemingly never-ending
Mono debate.

Greenpeace Tags HP for Lagging in Eco-Commitments
In the latest phase of an ongoing battle with computer makers over the
allegedly eco-unfriendly nature of materials they use in manufacturing,
environmental activist group Greenpeace on Tuesday hit HP's Palo Alto,
Calif., global headquarters. Its members painted the message "Hazardous
Products" on the rooftop of HP's building.

iConcertCal: Find Your Live Music Fix Without the Fuss
It's not always easy to find quality live entertainment. The problem
isn't necessarily a lack of venues or a shortage of musical acts willing
to play in front of a live audience. The hard part, from a music fan's
perspective, is knowing who's playing, where, and when. There are
zillions of Web sites out there that do event roundups.

NASA Says It's on the Right Manned Spaceflight Trajectory
Engineers designing NASA's next moon rocket denied that the human space
flight program dubbed "Constellation" is too expensive, too risky and
would unnecessarily delay man's return to space. The engineers defended
their work to a committee appointed by President Barack Obama to review
what's planned once the current shuttle program is retired.
