Podcast
Managing the Enterprise Data Deluge (25:07 minutes)
As the old saying goes, information is the lifeblood of an organization.
However, that's an imperfect analogy, because most information is not in
a state of constant, smooth flow. Rather, it's sitting in little pockets
everywhere -- paper, memory sticks, laptops, the data center, etc. By
getting a better handle on the rising tide of info surrounding them,
enterprises get a better picture of what's really going on.

Today's Story Highlights

Steps Businesses Can Take Now to Gird for Hurricane Season
For professionals in the business continuity field, it is that time of
year again: hurricane season. If you haven't started to exercise
hurricane planning procedures, it isn't too late. I believe that it was
The National Hurricane Center that stated that 2009 would be a moderate
or "near-normal" year for hurricanes, and it's not likely the
southeastern United States would see anything like Katrina or Ike.

Are Android Phones Motorola's Road to Redemption?
Motorola's long-awaited Android phones are about to hit the market at
last -- one will reportedly go to Verizon, the other to T-Mobile. None
of the three companies will comment on the devices, but the blog
"Android and Me" has posted what it says are tech specs on both devices.
The Verizon device, called the "Sholes," will focus on gaming, according
to the site.

Mailplane Gives Gmail a Landing Pad on the Mac Desktop
For a long time, Web-based email programs were poor relatives of their
desktop counterparts, but that's not the case anymore. Cloud-based
applications like Google's offering, Gmail, boast a rich array of
features that give premise-based competitors a run for their money.
Nevertheless, two problems persist with Web mail apps.

Stanford Prof Whips Up Swift Genome Sequencing Technique
It might not be long until there is a gene scanner in every doctor's
office, as DNA sequencing becomes faster and cheaper. A Stanford
University professor reported Monday that he has sequenced his entire
genome in a few weeks for under $50,000 using a single machine. Six
years ago, hundreds of researchers at the Human Genome Project completed
the same task for $300 million. It took 13 years.

GM Boasts Mind-Blowing MPG Figures for Chevy Volt
General Motors said Tuesday its Chevrolet Volt rechargeable electric car
should get 230 miles per gallon of gasoline in city driving, more than
four times the mileage of the current champion, the Toyota Prius. The
Volt is powered by an electric motor and a battery pack with a 40-mile
range. After that, a small internal combustion engine kicks in to
generate electricity for a total range of 300 miles.

Report: Military Turned to Twitter to Gauge NYC Flyover Fallout
The Department of Defense has warned that military use of social
networking sites could pose a security threat, and the U.S. Marine Corps
has banned Marines from accessing these sites on government computers.
However, the U.S. Air Force tracked Twitter and YouTube, as well as
various blogs, to assess the public backlash from the Air Force One
flyover of New York this spring, according to AP.
