Podcast
Tearing Down Silos With Holistic ALM (15:56 minutes)
In order to address shortcomings with application performance and
availability, "we started looking at the technology silos and bringing
them together in one holistic perspective," said Blue Cross and Blue
Shield's Victor Miller. To begin addressing the problems, "we had to
break down the technology silos and really focus on the whole picture of
the application, and not just the individual components of the applications.

Today's Story Highlights

News Corp. Too Tempting a Target for LulzSec to Resist
Less than a month after the hacker group LulzSec announced it was
disbanding, it has apparently made a comeback with a massive attack on
the websites of embattled media mogul Rupert Murdoch and his News Corp.
empire. LulzSec -- or at least a group using that name -- first
redirected visitors of the Sun newspaper to the New Times website, which
the hackers had taken over.

Good Little Google Readers to Get Virtual Gold Stars
The world's largest online search engine recently revealed its Google
News Badge feature, a system through which readers can earn virtual
badges based on their search and reading histories in the U.S. version
of Google News. Someone searching for all the latest news on the NFL
lockouts, for example, could earn a football badge.

5 Things You Can Do to Boost Your Social Engineering Immunity
Let's face it: Social engineering -- attacking an organization through
deception by "tricking" internal users into sharing inappropriate levels
of access -- isn't a topic that comes up very much in most IT shops.
This isn't because social engineering is ineffective or because
organizations aren't susceptible to it.

Google Sweetens the Android Pot With Honeycomb 3.2 SDK
Google Friday announced Android 3.2 and released updated software
development kit tools for the platform. Android 3.2 is an incremental
release that adds several new capabilities for both users and
developers, the Internet giant said. It includes changes to the
application programming interface and is optimized for a wider range of
tablets than the original Android 3.0 release.

New 'Monopoly' Edition: Names Change, Game Remains the Same
Much-loved board games have a way of mutating over the years. New
versions modernize and change with the times. Sometimes it's done to add
challenge. If Hasbro didn't release new "Trivial Pursuit" question decks
at the rate of, I don't know, nine per day, the game would have
shriveled up and croaked decades ago.
