Podcast
The Transformational Approach to IT Gratification (33:47 minutes)
Once the decision is made to improve your data center, the most
difficult question is often where to begin. Short-term and long-term
goals must be considered, meaning you'll have to accurately predict the
future up to 20 or so years down the road. Your clients demand instant
gratification, and it takes a special kind of data center to deliver that.

Today's Story Highlights

Zuckerberg Finds Friends on Google+
Who's the most popular person on Google's spanking new social networking
site? Britney? Lady Gaga? Larry or Sergey? Nope, it's Facebook CEO Mark
Zuckerberg. He has racked up a whopping 29,543 followers on Google+ as
of Tuesday, beating out Google cofounders Larry Page -- who came in
second with 19,878 -- and Sergey Brin, who took fourth place with
15,646.

Google May Catch a Big Whiff of Wiretap Act in WiFi Sniffing Case
A federal judge recently refused to dismiss charges against Google from
July 2010 which claim the company violated the Federal Wiretap Act. At
the same time, the court threw out accusations that the search engine
giant broke state laws in an accidental data breach.

Netbooks: RIP or Live Long and Prosper?
Well, the Fourth of July has come and gone, and the temperatures in the
Linux blogosphere are scorching. Rather than raging at the heavens,
however, Linux Girl is using the current infernal weather as an excuse
to spend more time with her favorite barstool down at the Broken Windows
Lounge, whose frosty air conditioning is just one of many temptations on
offer.

iQueue DVD Manager Puts Netflix to Shame
I have a love-hate relationship with Netflix. For the most part, it's
love. The company sends me DVDs in the mail, even esoteric DVDs that I
would have a hard time tracking down anywhere else. Plus, I get to watch
streaming movies via my Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV
that's connected to my big screen HDTV in the living room. All very nice
indeed.

Google+ and the Slow Boat to Scale
Shortly after launching the beta of its Google+ social network last
week, Google slammed the shutters down. Like many new Google offerings,
Google+ is, for the time being, accessible only by invitation. But after
distributing invites rather liberally for a day or so, Google pulled
back, citing "insane demand."

Dell's Lesson for RIM and MS: Do It Steve Jobs' Way
I just came back from Dell's financial analyst meeting, and the firm is
doing amazingly well. That wasn't the way it was a few years ago when
folks were calling for a shakeup at the top. Michael Dell, along with an
excellent team, turned the firm around, and he kind of did it by
channeling Steve Jobs.

MyPad, YourPad, OurPad: 3 Apps for iPad Sharers
A cellphone is probably about as personal a device as you can get, aside
from something like a pacemaker. Of any electronic thingy not sewn to or
inside your body, a cellphone is typically the one most personalized to
an individual user. That's your address book on there, your email, your
Facebook page, your browsing history, your "Tiny Wings" high score.

Life Without Linux
Well, well, well, so Linux has turned 20 at last. While we were reading
about the inroads Android is making into the mobile market and weeping
over the news that Groklaw is about to pack its bags and move on, we
began wondering: Just what would the world have been like if Linus
Torvalds hadn't sat down and written Linux?

Google's Social Blowout
Google made a very socially awkward move with its rollout of Google Buzz
last year. It was Google's attempt to build a social network in part by
stringing together various existing pieces of its infrastructure -- your
contacts from over here, your Gmail account over there, Google Reader if
you use it, so on. The problem with Buzz was that certain wires had a
way of getting crossed.
