Podcast
Beyond War Room Network Management (36:24 minutes)
"Today, if you were to look into a customer's IT department managing a
network environment, you would often see a war-room-like approach to
managing networks," said HP's Ashish Kuthiala. Spiraling IT complexities
are running headlong into shrinking budgets. This is a job for
comprehensive, automated, integrated network management tools.

Today's Story Highlights

Google Whips Out an E-Wallet
Google officially unveiled its e-wallet Thursday in a presentation with
its partners at an event in New York. Google executives demonstrated
making purchases and downloading e-coupons with the e-wallet through a
Google Nexus S Android smartphone. They added that eventually consumers
might even store their drivers' licenses in it.

WinPho Developers Get a Bite of the Mango
Microsoft has rolled out app development tools for Mango, the Windows
Phone 7 update about which the company released details earlier this
week. Registered developers can download the Mango Beta Windows Phone
Developer Tools from AppHub, Casey McGee, marketing manager for Windows
Phone, told TechNewsWorld.

New Mac Malware: Passwords? We Don't Need No Stinking Passwords!
The newest strain of malware aimed at the Mac OS X platform doesn't
require a user password to install and spread, according to a warning
from security company Intego. Like a similar scam that arose weeks ago,
this new version of malware promises visitors of certain websites a free
security scan.

Where in the World Is the Linux Desktop Thriving?
The old "market share" debate is one that's all too familiar to most
Linux fans, particularly the tired -- not to mention wildly unrealistic
-- "1 percent" figure detractors love to cite as desktop Linux's
portion. So it was hard not to sit up and take notice earlier this month
when the Pingdom blog published a post entitled "The top 20 strongholds
for desktop Linux."

Chengdu Blast Heard Loud and Clear in Cupertino
Friday's deadly explosion at a Foxconn factory in Chengdu, China,
continues to dog Apple. The blast led Foxconn, one of Apple's major
contract manufacturers, to shut down all its polishing plants. Investors
are concerned supplies of the hot-selling iPad 2 will fall off.
Analysts' estimates of the impact range from miniscule to a production
loss of 2.8 million units.
