Podcast
The Value of Architecture: Priceless (38:48 minutes)
"Business architecture is similar to other forms of architecture, in
that it tends to try to do many things all at once," according to Ernst
& Young's Peter Haviland. "The idea of enterprise alignment is
definitely the right outcome, but there is enough complexity there to
blow steam out of your head for many, many years to come."

Today's Story Highlights

Adobe Aims to Keep Flash Shiny With New Version
Adobe on Wednesday announced its Flash Player 11 and Air 3 packages.
These have a heavy focus on games and online video across multiple
devices and platforms. Those platforms include Android, Apple iOS,
BlackBerry Tablet OS, Mac OS X, Windows and connected TVs. Flash Player
11 and Air 3 let game publishers deliver console-quality 2D and 3D games
over the Internet to PCs and many other devices, Adobe stated.

Facebook Goes Under the Knife Again
Facebook users were hit with a major update on Wednesday. The News Feed
that displays other users' status updates has been altered to a real-
time news ticker. It is now tailored to how often a user visits the
site. Updates are now ranked by factors that allow users to mark certain
posts as top stories instead of simply displaying the most recent news.

Wrapping Personal Devices and Critical Data in Stale Policies
It's a myth that ostriches bury their heads when they spot danger. It
sounds plausible, but in reality, they're just like us: In the face of
imminent danger, they either run or attack. This makes sense when you
stop to think about it. After all, one thing that seems almost painfully
obvious is that ignoring signs of danger isn't an effective defense
strategy.

Asunder Rips and Encodes Audio Without the Bloody Mess
The task of ripping files from CDs is fast becoming old hat -- that is,
unless you have a collection of plastic discs you want to put onto your
smartphone or portable music player. In that case, you will find Asunder
to be an indispensable tool. Asunder is a graphical audio CD ripper and
encoder for Linux.

Google+ Invites the World Into Its Social Circles
Google has unleashed Google+ on the world, now completely unfettered by
its earlier requirement to join via invitation. For its debut, Google
has added a slew of enhancements as well. Chief among them is the
addition of a search box, which allows people to search for content or
other people within the Plus network. It has also launched Hangouts for
mobile devices.

HTC's Rhyme Flirts With Female Demographic
Here's a smartphone designed for charm. The HTC Rhyme for Verizon
actually has a charm designed to dangle outside a purse. It lights up to
tell the owner when there's a call. The phone appears to target teenage
girls -- that is, except for the price point of $199.99 with a two-year
contract.
