Podcast
Open Source and the Democratization of IT (35:46 minutes)
How do enterprises face up to the generational shift to new and more
empowered users? How can businesses react and exploit more applications
and data resources and do so in a managed and governed fashion? Modern,
lightweight, and open source platforms that leverage modular
architectures are a new and proven resource for rapid and agile
integration requirements.

Today's Story Highlights

Android's Got Zitmos All Over the Place
Android devices have once again been hit by a new form of malware. This
time the culprit is a mobile variant of the Zeus banking Trojan that
steals banking passwords. Zeus and another malware package, SpyEye, "are
the most malicious threats to financial institutions and their
customers," Mickey Boodaei, president and CEO of Trusteer, told
TechNewsWorld.

Amazon Tablet's Secret Weapon Could Be Android's Answer to iTunes
Amazon could be the next retailer to jump into the tablet marketplace in
time for the holiday season, according to a recent report. The online
retail giant could be set to release its tablet by October, in addition
to two new Kindle e-reader models. Amazon's entrance to the market has
been rumored for some time, but sources close to the company reportedly
said a fall release date is on the horizon.

Search History: Google and Germany, Part 3
Google's privacy-conscious initiatives are often born in Germany.
Heeding the objections to Street View, which rained down from national
authorities and wary Germans, Google introduced an opt-out feature that
allowed people to officially request that their homes be blurred out --
nearly 250,000 applications were submitted. Google also hatched an
engineering team devoted to privacy protection in Munich.

Linux in Cars, or Why Toyota Chose Freedom
It's hard to keep up with all the companies joining The Linux Foundation
these days, but recently one jumped on board whose name threw a
collective hush over the Linux blogosphere. Toyota, that is -- none
other than the planet's largest automobile manufacturer in terms of both
sales and production. Is there really anything else to say? Linux,
you're on top of the world.

Netflix Slices'n'Dices Its Rental Plans: Shrewd Move or Bloody Mess?
Netflix announced a reshuffling of its prices Tuesday, separating its
DVD and streaming plans into two separate subscription packages and
angering a large part of its customer base. New customers will need to
pick from the company's new offerings immediately; existing members will
be transitioned to the new plans starting Sept. 1.
