Podcast
ALM: The Workflow Conqueror (16:59 minutes)
"ALM goes a long way to be able to conquer the various workflows," says
Todd Eaton, director of ALM tools and services at McKesson. "Within an
organization, there will be various workflows being done, but you're
still able to bring up those measurements, like another point that you
are bringing up, and have a fairly decent comparison."

Today's Story Highlights

Gmail Spear-Phishing Attacks Net FBI Scrutiny
The Gmail accounts of hundreds of high-profile individuals were hijacked
through a so-called spear phishing campaign originating in China,
according to Google. Hackers apparently gained access to users' accounts
using passwords likely obtained through malicious software and targeted
phishing techniques.

Enterprises Ready to Shake Out Some IPv6 Bugs With Worldwide Test
On June 8, major enterprises with a presence on the Internet such as
Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Akamai and several United States government
agencies will be among the organizations providing their content over
both IPv4 and IPv6. The occasion: June 8 is World IPv6 Day. IPv4 is the
existing Internet protocol; IPv6 is its successor.

Who Watches the Watchmen, Part 2: Uncle Sam, Are You Naked?
The United States federal government last month released the country's
first comprehensive international strategy for cyberspace. This lays out
President Barack Obama's vision for the future of the Internet and
outlines how the U.S. will partner with other countries to achieve that
vision.

Something Shiny Might Be Hiding Behind Apple's iCloud
What company can create an awesome tablet, wickedly thin notebooks, a
HDTV set-top box, a leading smartphone, a music-movie-game-email-social-
everything device, and deliver the operating systems to run them ... and
move acres of dirt around to build a massive data center that might have
the capability to deliver a leap forward in cloud computing that ties
all of these things together? The answer is Apple, of course.

Linux's 'Killer Feature': Impossible to Choose Just One
Well, June has arrived for another year, and that means the dog days of
summer can't be far behind. Scorching temperatures have already begun to
beat down upon parts of the Linux blogosphere, in fact, which may be why
there's nary a barstool to be found down at the seedy but well air-
conditioned Punchy Penguin Saloon, where Linux Girl plans to stay until,
oh, say, October or so.
