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

Security Boffins Smell Phish in Hotmail, Yahoo
Gmail is not the only e-mail service whose users have been targeted by
spear-phishing hackers. Users at Yahoo Mail and Hotmail are also on the
email infiltrators' hit lists, according to security firm Trend Micro.
The attacks on the latter two email systems appear to be separately
conducted, said Nart Villeneuve, senior threat researcher at Trend
Micro.

Heavens on Earth: 3 Planetariums on the Cutting Edge
Planetariums may date back to the far reaches of recorded time, but the
first widely known example -- an ancient cast-metal globe made by
Archimedes to predict the movements of the planets -- now seems to have
little in common with the technological marvels that have become
widespread today. Rather than focusing on planets and predictions,
today's planetariums are experiential wonders.

Who Watches the Watchmen, Part 3: Flying Headlong Into a Cloud
The current U.S. presidential administration is committed to the cloud,
and Washington has targeted about one quarter of its $80 billion IT
budget for potential migration to the cloud. The federal government's
General Services Administration has also set up the Apps.gov website,
which it describes as government agencies' "source for cloud computing
applications."

Androids Dream of Electric Malware, Wake Up in Cold Sweat
Google has reportedly pulled several Android mobile applications that
were lousy with malware from its official Android Market. This follows a
report earlier this week from Lookout Mobile Security, which claimed it
found dozens of apps in the market that contained malicious code.

Windows 8 Preview Reveals Major UI Metamorphosis
Microsoft began its Windows 8 publicity blitz in earnest Wednesday,
previewing an operating system that appears to break from the norm in
more ways than one. It has a tile interface similar to that of Windows
Phone 7, it will run on PCs and tablets, and it will support both
touchscreen and mouse-and-keyboard interactions.
