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

Snoozing Technique Could Help Keep Smartphone Batteries Fresh
Researchers at the University of Michigan have come up with a way to
extend the battery life of tablets, smartphones and other devices that
use WiFi. Kang Shin, a professor of computer science and engineering,
and Xinyu Zhang, a doctoral student, have developed E-MiLi, a power
management method that could cut energy consumption by about 44 percent
for up to 92 percent of users in WiFi zones.

FTC: Mobile Apps Not Exempt From Children's Privacy Regs
Federal regulations designed to protect children's privacy cover the
burgeoning mobile apps business as well as other online vehicles
accessible through laptops or desktops. In fact, providers of mobile
apps need to pay attention to the privacy impact not only of services
offered specifically to children, but also those targeting the broader
community that are nevertheless accessible to children.

How NOT to Push a New Open Source License, Part 2
Maybe it's time for yet another open source license. Consider this: The
Respect The Programmer License (RPL) Version 0.3. The RPL addresses one
problem prevalent in most licenses, including the BSD, MIT, and GPL --
it's easier to just edit the file in front of you to fix a bug or add a
feature than it is to contact the author and make sure everyone
benefits.

Apple Could Deliver a September Surprise With New MBPs
Apple's MacBook Pro laptop was upgraded with new Intel processors a
little more than six months ago, but another refresh may be in the works
that will bring revamped models to the shelves within the next two
weeks. The move is believed to be necessary to keep Apple's laptop up to
date with Intel's latest Sandy Bridge quad-core processors.

Flash's World Gets a Little Lonelier
Adobe is putting on a brave face in the wake of Microsoft's announcement
Tuesday that the Metro version of Internet Explorer in Windows 8 -- the
one intended for tablets -- will eschew plug-ins like Flash and instead
use HTML5. The problem with Flash, as Apple has discovered, is that it
makes too many demands on both processor power and battery power to work
well on mobile devices, said Yankee Group's Carl Howe.
