Podcast
The Consumerization of IT (24:03 minutes)
IT organizations are being pulled in opposite directions: They're being
asked to become simultaneously more open and more secure. Is that even
possible? Increased mobility "is cool for the consumer, but that creates
some very serious complexities for the enterprise security folks," said
HP's Rafal Los. "Often you get devices that aren't meant to be consumed
in an enterprise."

Today's Story Highlights

Microsoft Battles for Sky Supremacy With Office 365 Launch

40 markets. The service consists of online versions of Microsoft Office,

Internet Censorship Storm Is Coming, Warns Schmidt
Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt foresees more troublesome days
ahead between the search engine giant and the governments of the world.
Censorship is on the rise around the globe, he said Monday, at a Dublin
summit on militant violence. It will step up considerably in the wake of
the "Arab Spring" of 2011, Schmidt warned, which resulted in the
overthrow of governments in Tunisia and Egypt.

Designing Technology's Future
User interfaces will not necessarily change the way we live -- the
technology will. However, for technology to work and be embraced by new
consumers and emerging populations around the world, user interface
design is crucial; it enables people to access and use the advancements
in technology. Without simple and intuitive interfaces, end-users are
not able to consume the myriad of new technologies that come out every
day.

MyPad's Handsome Face Suffers the Occasional Tic
Facebook has had no trouble making friends with iPhone users. The social
network's iPhone app is the most popular free application in Apple's
store. For iPad, though, it's a very different story. iPads have been in
the hands of users for well over a year, yet Facebook still hasn't
delivered an app targeted to that platform.

Google Axes Health Service Due to Feeble Response
Google announced Friday it will discontinue its Google Health service, a
program launched three years ago to allow users to upload and store
electronic health records in a central, online repository. The service
was designed to provide users with an online database where they could
manage personal medical records from home, saving costs and adding
efficiencies.
