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

Why Do Email Links Feel So Right When They Do Such Wrong?
For years, security vendors have warned users to be careful about
unsolicited emails. Clicking on embedded links in these emails, they
say, could be dangerous, as could opening attachments that come with
them. That includes emails purporting to be from couriers such as DHL
and UPS, which could in fact come from malicious hackers and have
attachments that are actually malware.

Apple Unleashes the Lion and Electrifies the Air
Apple released its long-awaited Mac OS X Lion operating system
Wednesday, together with a lineup of new MacBook Airs, a refresh to the
Mac mini line, and the world's first display using the next-generation
Thunderbolt port. Thunderbolt technology will offer up to 10 Gbps of
access speed in each direction simultaneously over one cable.

Disk Usage Analyzer Has a Keen Eye for Sizing Up Space
When I first left the Big Blue OS behind for the world of Linux, I
wallowed in guesses over how my disk space was filling up. One thing
that was hard to replace from my Windows XP days was the colorful pie
chart of disk ingredients that resulted from right-clicking the lettered
drive names. Linux offers numerous solutions for guessing at the amount
of space consumed.

America: It's Time to Snap Out of the Pro-Death Trance
A Swedish hospital recently announced that a cancer patient was saved
after doctors grew him a new windpipe in the lab using a synthetic
structure and the man's own stem cells. That might have sounded like
science fiction just a few years ago, but today it is landmark news.
Regenerative medicine has the ability to usher in radically longer and
healthier lives, yet few are considering the implications.

FBI's Anonymous Catch May Be Small Fry
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has initiated a nationwide sweep
targeting the hacking group "Anonymous." Armed with some 30 to 40
subpoenas, the FBI reportedly raided homes in New York, New Jersey,
California and Florida, arresting at least 16 suspects. "Yes, a number
of law enforcement actions have taken place throughout the U.S. today,"
confirmed FBI spokesperson Bill Carter.
