Podcast
The Automation Revelation (21:39 minutes)
UK managed service provider InTechnology says it's reaped tremendous
benefits from an automated lifecycle approach. "When you've got like 80
percent of all incidents raised automatically, it takes a massive burden
off the 24/7 teams and the customer support guys, who are not spending
the majority of their time creating incidents but actually working to
resolve them," said InTechnology's Ed Jackson.

Dead Tablet Walking
Hey, Mom - What's a Wallet?
Have Apps, Will Travel - Part 2
TrueCrypt Locks Down Data In a Rock-Solid Vault

Today's Story Highlights

Galaxy S II Whirls Into US
Samsung Telecommunications America has announced it will launch its
latest Android smartphone, the Galaxy S II, on AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile
in the U.S. this fall. The device apparently has won consumers' hearts
and minds, with 5 million units having been snapped up in 85 days in
Europe and Korea, Samsung claims.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73186.html

Dead Tablet Walking
HP has opted to continue producing its TouchPad tablet device, at least
temporarily, in response to an explosion of demand among consumers. That
demand was likely spurred by a drastic drop in price the tablet
underwent earlier this month -- just after HP announced that it was
discontinuing the TouchPad. The device, which sold for $500 when it
debuted a few weeks ago, dropped to $99 at some retailers.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73184.html

Hey, Mom - What's a Wallet?
Thanks to a variety of mobile payment systems, buying and selling goods
and services has never been easier. Increasingly, mobile devices are
becoming both credit-card readers and stand-ins for the cards
themselves. It might not mean the end of cash just yet, but we're moving
in that direction. "Ten years from now, we'll be able to live without
much of a wallet," said Double Diamond President Todd Ablowitz.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73181.html

Have Apps, Will Travel - Part 2
No matter how many virtual meeting applications spring up and how
popular they may be, travel is still a bit part of corporate life.
Fortunately, mobile apps have made the task more tolerable, more
efficient and considerably more pleasant. That is, of course, if you're
using the best apps for the trip you're planning.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73183.html

TrueCrypt Locks Down Data In a Rock-Solid Vault
Linux users are blessed with a collection of file encryption tools. But
chances are, whatever application you use for that task lacks the
efficiency, speed and functionality of TrueCrypt. TrueCrypt does what
any file encryption application is supposed to: It locks down access to
your data so no one without a password or keyfile can grab it.

Today's Story Highlights

Microsoft Ties a Ribbon on Windows 8 Explorer
Speculation about what features Windows 8 will include is sizzling as
Microsoft continues to remain tight-lipped about details of the new
operating system. However, Redmond has talked to some extent about the
upcoming OS' handling of Explorer, the Windows file management system.
Posts on the Windows 8 blog indicate Explorer will have the ribbon GUI
Microsoft Office users know -- and, in some cases, hate.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73177.html

The Apache Web Server's Not-So-Secret Weakness
If you thought the hacks by Anonymous and AntiSec were bad, boy, are you
in for a revelation. This past week brings news that the Apache Web
server -- the one that powers the majority of the Internet and most
websites -- has a vulnerability that can be exploited with relatively
little effort.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73172.html

The Death of the Smartphone
Smartphones and tablets might be the current hot technology, but history
says it's all just another fad. Twenty years from now, almost nobody
will own either device. Seems unbelievable, but the same technology that
makes them hot today will make them not tomorrow. Consider what happened
to another "must-have" technology: the fax machine.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73173.html

Mega Mall Story: An Addictive Battle for Hearts and Wallets
If the idea of an empire-building game in which you construct a shopping
mall sounds familiar, that might be because Take Two Interactive
published a series starting about a decade ago called "Mall Tycoon." It
wasn't part of the Maxis/Electronic Arts Sims universe, but it had that
general feel to it.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73169.html

Samsung Adds Another Channel to the Mobile Conversation Mix
Samsung Electronics is launching a free mobile communications service
called "ChatON." It works on several smartphone and feature phone
platforms -- but apparently not Windows Phone -- and offers a Web client
for tablets, desktop and notebook computers as well. The service will
let users text each other, chat in groups, share video, or create and
share hand-scribbled notes on smartphones.

Podcast
Time to Step It Up, EAs (38:08 minutes)
Organizations are benefiting from embracing TOGAF, but what are
enterprise architects doing to enhance their strategic value? "This is a
time for the enterprise architects to really step up to the plate and be
accountable for real performance influence on the organization's bottom
line," said The Open Group's Jason Uppal.

Today's Story Highlights

IBM to Build Super-Storage Phenom
IBM is working on a 120-petabyte storage array that will consist of
200,000 disk drives, according to the MIT Technology Review. The array
is expected to store about 1 trillion files. It's being developed for a
client that needs a new supercomputer for detailed simulations of real-
world phenomena.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73165.html

Steve Jobs' Exit: The Day the Magic Died
It is amazing to me the number of people I know who are basically saying
Steve Jobs (some wonderful quotes from him here) leaving Apple will not
change Apple. Most saw what Apple was like with Jobs, have seen that no
similar company has been able to repeat what Apple has done over the
last decade, and have seen both Microsoft after Gates and Disney after
Walt. They even saw what happened to Dell during the short time Michael
stepped down.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73157.html

On Slashdot's Lost Taco and Apple's Big Turnover
There may not be enough tequila in this world to see the tech community
all the way through to the end of August 2011. We've had Googlerola;
we've had the ever-escalating software patent storm. We've had HP's
lily-livered maneuvers regarding webOS and PCs. Did we need more than
that? No, we did not. Yet more is just what we got.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73164.html

Monster-Making App Splatters Virtual Ink in Delightful Ways
I like a good monster. Good monsters can be scary, evil, otherworldly,
or well-dressed feathery ink blots like those that spring from the
creative genius of Stefan G. Bucher, the guy behind DailyMonster.com.
Bucher has been turning blown ink blots into monsters on his website for
years, and he's got an amazing eye and style, which you can now tap into
yourself through his new app, Daily Monster.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73158.html

The Next New Cyberdefense Strategy: Monitor Everything
The definition of "cybercrime" is ever changing, as is the severity of
attacks. 2011 has already been labeled the "year of the data breach,"
and yet many of the breaches are not the typical SQL injection attacks
or database hacks. Instead, criminals are using legitimate website
functions to steal data and sometimes money, from targeted
organizations.

Today's Story Highlights

Microsoft Slate Could Foretell the Shape of Tablets to Come
Attendees at Microsoft's TechEd New Zealand show were reportedly treated
to a preview of what may have been a new quad-core Windows slate device
running on the not-yet debuted Windows 8. The slate could be a giveaway
at Microsoft's Build conference in September, according to a Smarter
Geek blog post by attendee and IT consultant Alan Burchill.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73156.html

Where the TouchPad Went Fatally Wrong
HP's TouchPad tablet never sold so well as when HP announced last week
that it was ceasing production of the device. Consumers have cleaned out
the market's $99-per-unit inventory of TouchPads. At a time when Apple's
selling all the iPads it can mak and manufacturers are launching new
Android tablets that are making headway in the market, why did the
TouchPad crash and burn?
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73154.html

HP's Tablet Failure: Big Fun for FOSS Fanatics
There may be life yet for the seemingly defunct HP TouchPad. The company
has discontinued its development of all webOS devices, leading retailers
to drastically mark down prices on the TouchPads they have in stock.
Some buyers have been able to score one for as little as $100 -- that's
$400 off the initial asking price when the device entered the market a
couple of months ago.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73148.html

Video Clip Reveals Possible Chinese State-Sponsored Hack Attack
Solid proof regarding the origins of high-profile international
cyberattacks is typically elusive. However, when Western interests are
targeted, suspicion often turns to China -- whether rightfully or
otherwise. Those suspicions were again aroused recently, courtesy of
government-controlled China Central Television.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73151.html

Why iPhone Sales Will Own Q4
As we head into the back-to-school season and gear up for Fall and the
holidays, there is a perfect storm of Apple action coming together. And
there's so much there, all at once, that it might even be enough to
drown out the flood of Android smartphones -- for a while, at least.
Back in February of this year, Apple started shaking up its iPhone
rollout pattern when it started offering the iPhone 4 on Verizon.

Today's Story Highlights

Have Apps, Will Travel - Part 1
Travel apps open a whole new world for vacationers and business
travelers alike. However, there are now so many travel apps that it's
hard to determine which will render the best and most frequently updated
information. Muddying the issue further, app stores tend to list flight
and hotel apps first and leave the fun and wonky and offbeat apps buried
somewhere underneath.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73142.html

As Linux Turns 20, Hopes and Wishes for Its Next 20 Years
Birthdays and anniversaries are a natural time for reflection on what
has been and what is yet to come. When they mark major milestones such
as 20 years, however, there's a considerable temptation to think bigger.
So it's been in the Linux blogosphere, where our favorite operating
system officially turns 20 today. Happy Birthday, Linux!
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73146.html

Jobs to Apple's Board: 'That Day Has Come'
An era came to an end Wednesday as Steve Jobs announced his resignation
as CEO of Apple, handing Tim Cook the reins of the company Jobs created
and transformed into a leader of the tech industry. Jobs will remain on
as chairman of Apple. In a brief letter of resignation, Jobs wrote that
the day has come when he "could no longer meet my duties and
expectations."
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/73149.html

iPhone Could Bring Agony and Ecstasy to Sprint
It looks like Sprint is about to join Club iPhone. The wireless network
could become the Apple smartphone's third U.S. wireless carrier in
October, just in time for the holiday season, according to a recent Wall
Street Journal report. That's also the time frame in which Apple is
expected to release the fifth generation of iPhone, though the company
has not officially announced a date.

PCs Hit 'Big 30' - Next Stop, Boneyard?
Aug. 12, 2011, marked the 30th birthday of the IBM Personal Computer
(PC) -- an event marked in numerous congratulatory and cautionary
articles and blog posts. In the days since then, PC-related news has
remained thick on the ground. Most shocking, perhaps, was HP's
announcement that it was "looking at options" (i.e. sale or spinoff) for
its PC business.

Today's Story Highlights

Sony Looks Into the Mirror to Boost Its DSLR Cred
Sony has announced two new additions to its SLT-A family of cameras: the
A77 and A65. They offer 24.3MP effective resolution and have what Sony
says is the world's first XGA OLED electronic viewfinder. Both cameras
use the translucent mirror technology common to Sony's SLT-A family and
offer progressive full HD video recording.

New Facebook Privacy Tweaks Have a Googley Aftertaste
In a nod to users who have complained about Facebook's privacy settings
for years, the social network announced new, simplified settings Tuesday
that allow users to exercise greater control over what information is
shared across the network. Going forward, users can choose a feature
called "Profile Tag Review," which will allow them to approve a photo
or post in which they're tagged before it hits their profile.

Fighting the Good Fight: Q&A With Mikko Hypponen, Part 2
Mikko Hypponen has spent the past 20-plus years studying malicious
software, including everything from "Brain" -- the first PC virus,
dating back to 1986 -- all the way up to Stuxnet and today's most
sophisticated global malware. He's widely considered one of the world's
foremost experts on information security, and he's played a key role in
taking down numerous international rings of cybercriminals.

Pybackup Makes Saving and Restoring Easy as Pie
Sure, we all know that making regular file backups is an essential
survival task for frustration-free computing. But backing up data and
backing up computer systemfiles are not entirely the same things. Doing
one without the other is like having an uninterrupted power supply
that's not connected. For instance, you no doubt have multiple copies of
your critical data. But how many copies do you have of your Linux
desktop home folder?

Federal CIO Prods Agencies to Revamp Websites
The U.S. government's new CIO wasted little time in directing federal
agencies to significantly improve the way they manage information
technology resources. Steven VanRoekel, who took over the federal CIO
post on Aug. 4, quickly issued a directive designed to push agencies to
meet an Obama administration goal for operating federal websites more
efficiently.
