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

Gig U Hopes to Seed Development With Ultra-Speedy Campus Networks
Twenty-nine U.S. universities are hoping that Gig U, a project that
brings ultra-high-speed Internet access to campuses and the surrounding
areas, can spur economic growth and research development to their
communities. The initiative will arm universities and neighboring hubs
with Internet speeds up to 1 Gbps, enough to download a full-length HD
movie in seconds.

Seeking Tomorrow's Security Solutions Today, Part 2
A widely held view in the security community is that currently available
security technology just can't cope with the new types of attacks being
launched on IT infrastructures. Some security vendors, in fact, have
acknowledged their inability to fight advanced persistent threats and
are calling for new approaches to fighting hackers.

Google+: A Social Network Even Geeks Can Love?
Google+ may still be in its invitation-only early days, but with all the
wild excitement and skyrocketing numbers of users, it's awfully hard to
tell. Quibbles about real-name policies notwithstanding, eager users
from virtually every walk of life seem to be flocking to the new social
network -- even those of us who are perhaps less than entirely socially
minded.

Farewell, My Little Plastic Discs
I'm not sure that we can say Apple is the barometer for the consumer
tech industry, but it's been either eerily prescient or a powerful
catalyst in the demise of certain technological habits. Apple ditched
the old 3.5-inch floppy drive back in the '90s and followed up by
creating the iPod, which brought attention to digital MP3 players and
then dominated the mobile music space, even changing how people buy and
consume songs.

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.
