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

Gmail Gives Power to the People Widget
Google has introduced a new tool to the social networking world using
one of its strong suits: Gmail. In the next couple weeks, Google will
debut a feature for Gmail called the "People Widget." The widget will
appear to the right of messages and display information about contacts,
including recent messages, shared documents, calendar events, statuses
and, perhaps most striking, photos.

Internet Explorer Flaw Lets Hackers Into the Cookie Jar
Italian security researcher Rosario Valotta has discovered a new way for
hackers to steal their victims' online credentials -- stealing the
session cookies from whatever site a victim is visiting. The stolen
cookies can then be used to get victims' computers to download malware,
forge clicks or send messages, according to Valotta's website.

Are Android Tablets Stumbling Out of the Gate?
Based on initial sales reports and some tablet market flip flops, the
few Android tablets that have hit the shelves so far seem to have
crashed and burned. Early sales figures indicate that no Android tab is
coming close to being the much-awaited Apple iPad alternative. But will
time heal all? Does the Android tablet just need the same growing time
that consumers gave the iPad?

Your Move, Patent Trolls
What is Lodsys? It's a patent troll company. And by all accounts, when
it comes time to check in at Hell, patent trolls are said to have a spot
right near the front of the line, right next to the people that put
kittens in burlap sacks and throw them into rivers. But Lodsys is not
just any patent troll -- it's the type of patent troll that makes other
patent trolls squirm.

Investment Firm Pres. Calls on Microsoft to Boot Ballmer
Time to move over, Ballmer. Greenlight Capital President David Einhorn
has reportedly called for Microsoft's CEO, Steve Ballmer, to step down.
Einhorn spoke on the subject Wednesday at the Ira Sohn Investment
Conference in New York City. Einhorn showed support for Microsoft in
general, recommending the company's stock as a "buy" because the company
trades at what he called a remarkable discount.
