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

Intel Gets Android Inside
In an effort to carve out a niche in the burgeoning mobile market, Intel
has partnered with Google to optimize future versions of the latter's
Android mobile operating system for Intel's Atom line of chips. The
announcement was made by Andy Rubin, Android head honcho and Google
senior vice president, on Tuesday at the Intel Developer Forum, which
runs in San Francisco through Thursday.

Chipping Away at the Great Firewall, Pebble by Pebble
Online cencorship is relatively commonplace in China, but lately the
country's micro-blogging platforms seem to be gaining more attention
from government censors. The tentacles of this issue stretch into
various nooks of the tech world, from the logistical challenges of
policing the biggest Internet-using country in the world to the economic
vitality of these companies.

Once It's Motivated, Wipe Really Takes Out the Garbage
My quest for a secure file deletion app started by accident. But it
resulted in my finding a solid solution with Wipe. My approach to making
sure nobody harvests sensitive data from my cast-away aging equipment is
to never give it away. Instead, I yank the hard drive from the
computer's innards and literally drill it full of holes.

Windows 8 Jumps Onto the Metro Line
Microsoft inched further toward the tablet world Tuesday by revealing a
slew of new details about its upcoming Windows 8 operating system at its
Build developers conference, being held in Anaheim, Calif., through
Friday. Windows Division President Steven Sinofsky headlined the
presentation, which demoed various aspects of the new operating system.

Will Amazon Book Rentals Challenge the iPad?
Amazon.com is planning to launch a Netflix-like paid subscription
service for e-books, according to The Wall Street Journal . This could
possibly be a move to strengthen the challenge its forthcoming tablet
would pose to the iPad family. Amazon's tablet -- or perhaps two tablets
-- is widely expected late this summer.
