Podcast
Lawyers Come Knocking: Info Management and E-Discovery (31:33 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

VMworld 2009 - VMware's Journey to the Cloud
VMworld, VMware's signature annual user and partner event, is kicking
off this week in San Francisco, so it seems worth reconsidering the
company's recent acquisition of SpringSource. Along with critical human
assets, the deal brings a host of tested technologies to VMware,
including the Spring Framework, a Java programming model that makes
applications portable.

The E-Coupon Generation
Electronic coupons, arriving by cellphone, Twitter, e-mail and Facebook,
are helping generate an old standby's comeback and bringing in new,
younger customers. Many shoppers, especially young consumers like 30-
year-old April Englebert, used to reject coupons printed in newspapers
and direct-mail booklets as passe or cumbersome.

Whipping MuleSource Into Shape
Having secured funding from Hummer Winblad Venture Partners, Lightspeed
Venture Partners and Morgenthaler Ventures, MuleSource cofounder Ross
Mason turned what was the Mule Project into an open source player on the
fast track. Re-invigorated with new CEO Greg Schott, MuleSource has been
ramping up its business in the wake of a recession that has gutted some
proprietary legacy players.

German Court Mandates Google's Voluntary ToS Changes
A German court has ruled that Google must change terms of service that
could be interpreted to compromise a user's rights. A lawsuit brought by
consumer groups charged that the terms of service for opening an account
through Google Mail, Google Documents and other programs could be
interpreted as giving the Internet search giant the right to review and
even delete a user's information.

Music Video Games Aim to Pump Up Autumn Sales Volume
With a little help from the Beatles, Super Mario and price cuts from
Sony and Microsoft, the slumping video game industry is hoping for a
sales resurrection this fall. The season gets a late-summer start
Tuesday, with the release of "Guitar Hero 5," a game featuring music
from the Rolling Stones, Nirvana and other popular bands.

Samsung Leaps Into Roiling App Store Arena
Korean electronics giant Samsung on Monday announced that it will launch
a mobile application store in Europe on Sept. 14. This follows the
release of its mobile widget software development kit around mid-August
and its unveiling in July of the Samsung Application Seller Site, a
portal geared toward mobile app developers and resellers.
