Podcast
The Enterprise Architects of the New Era (42:55 minutes)
As interest in cloud computing grows, the role of the enterprise
architect is changing. Changing into what, exactly? That's still open
for debate. The architect's role may well become the key office where
the buck stops. New duties will present new opportunities.

Today's Story Highlights

Is There a Dark Cloud Over SSL's Green Glow?
The security of any given computer system is no better than the skills
researchers bring to finding the next potential program flaw. Network
security workers concentrate on updating patches and making sure only
validated users can access the corporate LAN. Meanwhile, security
researchers hunt for existing but unidentified infrastructure flaws that
could let in the bad guys.

Democratization of Data: Mass. Shares Transit Info
Massachusetts is planning to "democratize the data" behind its public
transportation network. It's providing software developers with all the
coding and background data they will need to develop iPhone applications
and other high-tech aids incorporating MBTA subway, bus, train and
regional transit information.

Fiorina Gears Up for US Senate Race
Former HP chief executive Carly Fiorina on Tuesday took the first formal
step toward running for Democrat Barbara Boxer's U.S. Senate seat.
Fiorina filed for a tax identification number Tuesday and registered a
campaign committee named "Carly for California." The committee will
allow her to begin raising money for a potential 2010 run for the
Republican nomination.

Germany Sets Ambitious Electric Car Goal
Germany launched a campaign Wednesday to put 1 million electric cars on
the road by 2020, making battery research a priority as it tries to
position the country as a market leader. The program, which leaves many
financing details to the next government, drew criticism for being too
vague.

Blockbuster Takes Motorola to the Movies
Blockbuster plans to offer movies that can be watched on Motorola
cellphones. It marks the struggling rental company's first step into
mobile video and is its latest effort at chasing down the customers who
have abandoned its traditional video stores. Blockbuster offered few
details Tuesday on the plan, which expands on the company's OnDemand
movie downloading service offered through set-top boxes for TVs.

Google Gives Chrome Users Bookmarks to Go
Google on Tuesday announced a new feature that will let users of its
Chrome browser sync bookmarks on multiple computers. Announced only a
few weeks after its developers began working on the project, sync is yet
another round fired in a browser war that appears to be drawing in even
more players. However, it has also drawn some early criticism.
