Podcast
The Holy Grail of Application Development (14:05 minutes)
Seagate ships 50 million computer hard drives per quarter, and that
makes for a highly complicated set of processes. The ultimate in
software development, said Seagate's Steve Katz, would be an integrated
approach that incorporates development activities as well as testing,
monitoring, provisioning and quality checks and balances.

Today's Story Highlights

Military Meltdown Monday - Not Just a Catchy Name
The Antisec hacker movement, which targets the websites of governments
and their agencies worldwide, on Monday hacked into the website of
defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton. The group posted a 130 MB file
of data stolen from Booz Allen's servers on the Pirate Bay BitTorrent
website.

Google Trains Its Street View Eye on Japanese Earthquake Devastation
Google's Street View cars have been spotted all over the world capturing
ground-level photos of cities for the company's unique mapping
technology. But now that tech is being put to a new use: The cars are
shooting pictures of the devastation in Japan left from the powerful
earthquake the nation suffered last March.

Bing Strikes the Right Tone on iPad
Rattling off a Web search on your phone or tablet is a pretty dead-
simple thing to do. Does it really need its own app? That depends. The
iPad's out-of-the-box Safari Web browser has a built-in search bar, and
you can set its default search engine to Google, Yahoo or Microsoft's
Bing. It's just a text box, but it will usually suffice for a quick,
heat-of-the-moment query.

Search History: Google and Germany, Part 1
From the clothing ads that dance around in epileptic flashes to the
constant requests for your credit card number, email service from the
German website GMX.net has some shortcomings. You can get 1 GB of
memory, but you'll need a credit card for anything more -- a 5 GB
allowance runs about $4.50 per month, and for 10 GB, you pay about $7.50
per month.

Open Source and the Democratization of IT
This podcast discussion centers on how the role and impact of
integration has shifted, and how a more comprehensive and managed
approach to integration is required, thanks to such major trends as
cloud, hybrid computing and managing massive datasets.
