Podcast
Mythbusting the Private Cloud (45:19 minutes)
Under the right implementation, clouds and hybrid clouds can save on
costs, improve productivity, cut energy use and enhance efficiency.
Sound too good to be true? A certain level of skepticism is a good
thing, but there are many myths and half-truths surrounding private
clouds that are ripe for debunking.

Today's Story Highlights

Mozilla's Head Is in the Cloud With New Mobile OS Idea
The Mozilla Foundation is looking into creating a stand-alone mobile
operating system for the open Web. A team of programmers from the
organization has set up the Boot to Gecko project to work on this idea.
This OS is based on the notion that the Web can displace proprietary,
single-vendor stacks for application development.

Microsoft's Avatar Kinect: I Chat the Body Electric
Microsoft on Monday released Avatar Kinect, a feature for the hands-free
controller that will let users set up a virtual presence to interact
with up to seven other friends in up to 24 virtual stages. Avatar Kinect
for the Xbox 360 is a chat service that will leverage the Kinect's
camera, which tracks users' gestures and facial expressions.

Android Apps and the Honeycomb Holdup
Android Honeycomb tablets are now on store shelves and vendor websites.
Six months from Honeycomb's release, tablet makers have finally
optimized their hardware to fit the new made-for-tablets OS version to
their larger-than-smartphone screens. But where are the apps?

Slim, Slick App Mobilizes Google+
I'm not quite sure what I think about Google+ as a social network yet.
First, I'm not certain I need it. To the best of my knowledge, Facebook
has never wronged me severely enough to make me want to decamp. I'm also
withholding my opinion on its privacy options pending further
exploration, though I don't know whether they could possibly be more
labyrinthine than Facebook's.

Apple Comes In Like a Lion
Apple finally pushed out a much-anticipated raft of new products this
week. Its new desktop OS, OS X Lion, had been promised for a July
release last month at the Worldwide Developers Conference, and some Mac
followers had been getting downright antsy for a new MacBook Air, which
also touched down.
