Podcast
Security Showdown: Cloud Computing vs. On-Premise IT (55:50 minutes)
Either in real terms or perceived terms, security is one of the biggest
hang-ups people have, and it's a wide-open question. When we talk about
the cloud and the enterprise, are we talking about something that is
fundamentally different in terms of securing it, versus what people are
accustomed to doing across their networks?

Today's Story Highlights

Kindle Gets a Little Bigger, a Little Better With DX Reader
There's a lot to like about Amazon's new super-sized e-book reader, the
Kindle DX. It has more than a few nettles, too. Since the original
Kindle was introduced at the end of 2007, its fans have been clamoring
for more screen real estate. With the DX, Amazon has met those demands
in a big way. The reader's screen measures 8 by 5.5 inches, or 9.7
inches diagonally.

Trade-Offs, Evolution and the Truth About Mobile Phone Development
It has been said that a great user experience in mobile phone offerings
is a combination of good engineering, marketing and graphical and user
interface design. More importantly, it is about keeping the balance
between all these elements. This is why the term "trade-off" is a
recurrent one in the mobile phone industry.

Yahoo Keeps Polishing Search Tech Despite Bing Hook-Up
Yahoo will keep innovating in search and try to outsmart both Microsoft
and Google even as the slumping Internet company prepares to lean on
rival Microsoft's search technology. That message emerged Monday as
Yahoo previewed a series of search engine upgrades that it plans to
introduce before the end of the year.

Nokia Nudges Into Netbook Territory With New Booklet 3G
Nokia announced Monday it will return to the PC market, an arena it
abandoned in 1991 to focus on the growing mobile phone field. The new
device, featuring integrated GPS and a claimed 12-hour battery life,
will be formally unveiled Sept. 2 at Nokia World, the company's annual
expo. The netbook, to be called the "Booklet 3G," will likely be sold
through telecommunications retailers.

Apple to Set Snow Leopard Loose Friday
Confirming weeks of speculation, Apple announced on Monday that OS X
10.6, better known as "Snow Leopard," will be available starting in late
August. Snow Leopard, which Apple is touting as a refinement to its
predecessor, named "Leopard," was originally scheduled to be released in
September.
