Podcast
Singing in the Rain: How the Cloud Can Pour Down Money (20:19 minutes)
No single type of cloud is appropriate for every business. All companies
must transition themselves into a new cloud deployment in their own
ways. The goal, of course, is bottom-line savings, and when the
operation is done right, those savings are very real. That's what
cosmetics company Revlon learned as it implemented its private cloud,
which it claims has saved it in the neighborhood of $70 million.

Today's Story Highlights

Don't Try This at Home: Overclocked AMD FX Chip Breaks Speed Record
AMD announced on Tuesday that it has been awarded the Guinness World
Record for computer processor speed for an overclocked version of its
upcoming eight-core FX desktop processor. This CPU hit a top speed of
8.429 GHz with the help of specialist teams, as well as a heavy dose of
liquid nitrogen and helium for cooling.

The Swift Erosion of Online Trust
The break-in and theft of security certificates from a Dutch authority
brought home, once again, how vulnerable Web browsers can be to hackers
pretending to be who they're not. The authority, DigiNotar, is one of
many that issue security certificates for websites. The digital
certificates tell a browser to "trust" content coming from a certain
site.

Can Yahoo Escape the Valley of the Dulls?
When the end of her stint as Yahoo CEO came for Carol Bartz, it arrived
via a phone call from the company's chairman. That's what she told
employees in a profanity-free, company-wide email when she learned the
news. Bartz was fired after nearly three years as Yahoo's chief
executive, having failed to turn around the once-great Internet company.

Congress Gives US Patent Process Extreme Makeover
After six years of debate over patent reform, the U.S. Senate last week
overwhelmingly approved the America Invents Act, a sweeping overhaul of
the U.S. patent system that intends to weed out unnecessary patents and
put the country more on par with international patent procedures. The
bill, authored by Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., passed with a bipartisan
vote of 89-9 in the Senate.

German Court Deals Another Flesh Wound to Samsung's Galaxy Tab
First it gave Apple the preliminary injunction it was seeking against
Samsung's Galaxy Tab. Then it suggested it might have been at least
partly mistaken. Now the Dusseldorf court that has been hearing Apple's
patent suit against Samsung's Galaxy 10.1 tablet, has confirmed that
yes, Samsung's German subsidiary may not sell the device in Europe.
