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
Another Day, Another DDoS Blitz for Twitter
For the second time in less than a week, Twitter has been hit by a
distributed denial of service attack. Unlike the first attack last week,
the latest cyberassault, which started on Tuesday, has been confined to
Twitter so far -- Facebook has apparently not been affected.

Always Look on the Bright Side of FOSS
The days of summer may be coming to an end, but that's no reason to be
downhearted. Indeed, just consider the news that in its recent annual
filing to the SEC, Microsoft for the first time listed Red Hat and
Canonical as official competitors. Tux, you've come a long way, baby!

Documents To Go: Not a Corner Office but a Decent Cubicle
Perhaps it's a little shortsighted of me to review an iPhone app built
to let you view, sync and edit Microsoft Office files. After all, a
patent judge in Texas this week ordered an injunction against selling MS
Word, and without a basic word-processing app, the whole suite goes down
the tubes. Surely we'll all be back to slate boards and nails by
Halloween. OK, fine, not likely.

Microsoft Opens Office to the Crowd
Have a gripe about Office? A couple of guys at Microsoft want to hear it
directly. "Make Office Better" is an unofficial project launched by an
Office product planner and a Windows software tester at Microsoft.
Individuals submit ideas and weigh in on whether they like the ideas
submitted by others.

Facebook Goes Skinny-Dipping With Lite Option
Facebook is trying out a new look in its high-growth markets outside the
United States. The version features a stripped-down interface designed
to open quickly and be simpler to use, according to the company. Word of
the project leaked Tuesday when some users received invitations to help
test "Facebook Lite," but were unable to access the lite.facebook.com
URL given.
