Podcast
The Scope and Depth of the Cloud (16:27 minutes)
"If you think about cloud computing, the promise it brings customers is
the ability to get access to infrastructure and data in a very
cost-efficient, rapid way and only pay for what you use," said Carl
Eschenbach, copresident of VMware. "It's a great value proposition,
regardless of size and scope of your organization and company."

Today's Story Highlights

HTC Scrambles to Fix Android Smartphone Flaws
In an effort to mollify widespread concerns over security
vulnerabilities in its Android smartphones, HTC has stated that it's
working hard on a security update to resolve the problem. The
vulnerability was reportedly due to logging tools HTC introduced when
updating its smartphones.

VDI Planning Guide: Highly Available Desktops
A key advantage of virtualization is the ability to decouple an
operating system from its hardware layer. This improves flexibility and
maximizes uptime. Virtual server infrastructure commonly utilizes this
flexibility to provide high availability, moving virtual servers between
hosts.

Speed, Speech and Signal: The New iPhone's New Tricks
Buyers of Apple's new iPhone 4S will be able to do more with the latest
version of the smartphone, and they'll be able to do it faster. The new
iPhone, which will be available in black or white models when it ships
on Oct. 14, has a new, peppy A5 dual core-processor that provides twice
the performance of its predecessor in the iPhone 4 and seven times the
graphics muscle.

For Fast, Light Web Browsing, Dillo's No Dallier
Sometimes you find good things in small packages. At least that has been
my experience with picking through the wares often buried in directories
of open source software that feeds my Linux OS passion. Dillo, a little-
known tiny Web browser, was an unexpected find. This baby browser has a
very small footprint and is lightning fast. How fast, you say? It loads
in under a second and renders just as quickly.

Good, Solid iPhone 4S Disappoints iPhone 5 Wishes and Hopes
"The steak without the sizzle" is how Jason Wisdom characterized the
newly unveiled iPhone 4S, Apple's latest creation. It is essentially a
solid workhorse with little pizazz to wow the masses. "The device has
lots of technical upgrades, and one feature -- the new Siri -- did get
rabid, enthusiastic response from the audience," said Wisdom, principal
of Wisdom Consulting.
