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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
