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

Social Security: Guarding Your Identity in Online Networks
Without a doubt, the growth of social networking has exploded in recent
years and has added value to the Internet by providing yet another
exciting way for citizens all over the world to connect and interact. In
fact, social networks like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn and many
smaller sites have become the preferred way many people communicate
today as well as a growing business development tool.

Wikipedia's New Editorial Line of Defense
It appears that Wikipedia's reputation as the Internet's open source
encyclopedia -- where any and all can contribute -- may itself be in
need of some editing. Media reports quote a spokesperson for the
Wikimedia Foundation, which manages the user-generated site, as saying
that the English-language version will soon start experimenting with
designated editors.

Review: 'Batman: Arkham Asylum' Is Crazy Good
The video game industry has defeated more superheroes than Lex Luthor
could ever dream of. Superman, Aquaman, Iron Man, X-Men: all rendered
lifeless by forces more focused on making a buck than on delivering
thrills. So, calling "Batman: Arkham Asylum" one of the best superhero
games ever is kind of a backhanded compliment.

Heavy Multitaskers Aren't Good At It
The people who multitask the most are the ones who are worst at it.
That's the surprising conclusion of researchers at Stanford University,
who found multitaskers are more easily distracted and less able to
ignore irrelevant information than people who do less multitasking.

OneApp Aims to Give Dumb Phones Some App Smarts
Microsoft on Tuesday announced OneApp, a software application for
feature phones. Feature phones, which are essentially low-end mobile
phones without any smartphone features, are widely used in both
established and emerging markets. OneApp will give users access to
mobile applications most often found on smartphones, including social
networking, messaging and banking apps.

New PSA Goes Graphic With Message Against Texting While Driving
At four minutes and 15 seconds, a public service announcement produced
in Wales, UK, clocks in at an unusually long running time, as TV spots
like this one go. However, its length is not likely to be the reason why
it sticks in viewers' minds. The video, produced by the Gwent Police
Department to warn against the dangers of texting while driving, is a
graphic, bloody dramatization of the aftermath of a car accident.
