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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
