Podcast
The Enterprise's Shifting Center of Gravity (39:23 minutes)
As the future of the cloud unfolds before our eyes, enterprises will
need to nimbly adjust to new realities, new partners and new services.
The older point-to-point methods of IT integration, even for internal
business processes, are slow, brittle, costly, complex and hard to
manage. Flexibility is a must.

Today's Story Highlights

Privacy Orgs Take Facebook Facial Face-off to FTC
Four consumer protection organizations, led by the Electronic Privacy
Information Center, have filed a complaint with the United States
Federal Trade Commission over Facebook's use of facial recognition
technology. The complaint states that the process creates an image
identification system under the social networking giant's sole control.

PCI Compliance: Offense Is the Best Defense
Even established e-commerce companies find that the right hosting
partner can make a difference by performing a gap assessment that
addresses specific requirements for application, network, physical and
database compliance. Custom vulnerability scripts and software that
ensures application, network, physical and database compliance are among
some of the services provided hosting partners.

in North Carolina State University's computer science department,

SplashTop Remote Desktop App Flirts With Greatness
Remote desktop management is an intriguing concept. It lets you use one
computer through another one, no matter where you are. Say Computer A is
your home desktop, containing all of your most important documents and
applications. Computer B might be your lower-powered notebook, netbook
or even a tablet or smartphone.
