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

Microsoft Throws a Juicy Mango to Manufacturers
Mango, the largest update yet to Microsoft's still-young Windows Phone 7
mobile OS, was released to manufacturers Tuesday in what the software
company called an "important milestone" in its fight to gain some ground
in the competitive smartphone marketplace. The update was first shown
off in May and is being viewed as a dramatic upgrade from the basic
Windows Phone 7 platform, released in 2010.

Kinder, Gentler Anons Call for PayPal Boycott
Notorious hacktivist groups Anonymous and LulzSec on Wednesday urged
people to boycott PayPal for the online payment system's refusal to
facilitate donations to WikiLeaks. The hacktivists set up a Twitter
thread, #OpPayPal, and claim that at least 20,000 people have canceled
their PayPal accounts in response to their call. PayPal denies that.

Luminate Appifies Web Images
Luminate, formerly known as "Pixazza," has unveiled a new platform for
image apps. The apps available on the Luminate platform will allow
consumers to conduct activities such as shopping, sharing, commenting
and navigating directly from the image. The platform can also facilitate
new services made possible by the development of apps specifically for
images.

Cyberwarfare Policy Should Make Enterprises Sweat the Insider Threat
The recent spearphishing attacks on security firm RSA and on the
International Monetary Fund are both suspected of being attacks by
foreign powers to steal data that could be used in a cyberoffensive
against the United States. In fact, the CIA website and the U.S. Senate
were also breached by the hacking group LulzSec, and government
contractors Lockheed Martin and Booz Allen Hamilton were attacked more
recently.

For Personal Finance Tracking, You Can Bank on Eqonomize
Eqonomize is a personal accounting package that is fast becoming my app
of choice for all things financial. It is packed with features and is
simple to learn. Plus, its KDE interface makes it an ideal solution to
handle my small household economy. Keeping track of personal and
business finances is one of my essential computing tasks.
