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

HP Slings webOS Into Tablet Territory With TouchPad Release
HP will release the TouchPad in select markets Friday, putting the webOS
mobile operating system the company acquired when it purchased Palm into
an HP-branded tablet. "WebOS is a very solid operating system that's
very competitive with both iOS and the Android offerings," Tom Mainelli,
a research manager at IDC, told TechNewsWorld.

Bridging the Great Dev/Ops Divide
Under the legacy approach to software development, developers write
code, which is then frozen, tested by another group, released and
ultimately supported by yet another team again. Under this highly
structured approach, large enterprise software applications are
typically updated every 6 to 12 months, and up to several years can pass
between major operating system releases.

Editors Play New Reel in Final Cut Fiasco
Apple has attempted to dial down the flack it's received since the
release of its latest movie-editing application, Final Cut Pro X, by
publishing an FAQ that addresses some of the editing world's edgier
criticisms. Meanwhile, professional film editors angered by Apple's
recently released Final Cut Pro X video editing software are flocking to
sign a petition.

Are Ubuntu's Glory Days Over?
If there's any lesson to be learned in high school, it's that popularity
is a fickle mistress. One day, you can be riding high on the strength of
your awesome gaming skills, say, and the next, a fleeting fashion faux
pas can bring you crashing down again. But maybe that was just Linux
Girl. In any case, popularity is nothing if not changeable, as Ubuntu
has aptly demonstrated in recent weeks.

The Next iPhone: Is Apple Mulling a Double-Down?
This year's WWDC came and went without the appearance of a new iPhone,
breaking with years of tradition. This disruption to Apple's established
released cycle, combined with other factors, may be upsetting some
portfolios. "People are concerned about Apple's growth peaking, Steve
Jobs' health and the delayed launch of the new iPhone," Brian Marshall,
an analyst at Gleacher, told MacNewsWorld.
