Podcast
The IT Infrastructure Renaissance (38:59 minutes)
The face of high-performance, low-cost computing is changing. In just
the past few years, the definition of what a modern IT infrastructure
needs and what it needs to do has finally come into focus. Data centers
will converge their servers, storage and network platforms for
efficiency and security. Virtualization will grow like a weed. Hybrid
and cloud models will become the norm.

Today's Story Highlights

CEO Pours Out the Juice on Nokia's First WinPho 7 Handset
Nokia CEO Stephen Elop Thursday showed off the company's first Windows
Phone 7 device in what he described as a "secret" briefing to a room
full of journalists. The announcement comes hard on the heels of the
company's Wednesday reveal of the N9, a new Nokia smartphone running the
MeeGo mobile OS.

Facebook Shouldn't Wall Off Minors
Neelie Kroes, EC vice president for the digital agenda, has expressed
concern that most social networking sites don't make younger users'
profiles private by default. "I am disappointed that most social
networking sites are failing to ensure that minors' profiles are
accessible only to their approved contacts by default. I will be urging
them to make a clear commitment to remedy this ...," she said.

Securing SCADA Systems: Where Do We Start?
Many leading industrial and governmental network infrastructures employ
SCADA systems to automate, monitor and control crucial physical
processes, including manufacturing and testing, electrical transmission,
water and fuel transport, and traffic signal operation. Because of their
crucial importance and prominence in the field, SCADA systems have
increasingly been the target of criminal and terrorist activities.

The Stomach-Churning Prospect of Installing Linux
Ninety percent of today's Linux distributions "can be easily used by
just about anyone when properly configured and presented with a couple
minutes of explanation to the new user," wrote Thoughts on Technology
blogger Jeff Hoogland in a post on LXer provocatively titled, "Anyone
can use the Linux operating system."

Time to Start Writing That iPhone 5 Wish List
I had pretty much written off the idea that Apple would release a new
form-factor for its upcoming iPhone 5, believing that Apple would let
the phone's present form ride for another year, much like the company
did when it introduced the iPhone 3GS. Because Apple released an iPhone
4 for Verizon late in the yearly refresh cycle, well, that was just
another nail in the new-design coffin.

Sony Ericsson Unveils 1 Phone for Adventurers, 1 for Couch Potatoes
Sony Ericsson announced two new Android smartphones Wednesday: the
Xperia Ray and the Xperia Active. Both run Android 2.3, aka
"Gingerbread," and use the Mobile Bravia Engine. They will both be
available in select markets worldwide in the third quarter, Sony
Ericsson said. The Ray appears to be focused on entertainment, while the
ruggedized Active will focus on consumers with an active lifestyle.
