Podcast
Empowering Developers With Desktop Virtualization (26:06 minutes)
ADP Dealer Services had to give its developer community a desktop
environment that both fostered creativity and provided the latitude they
needed to do their jobs. A virtual desktop infrastructure gave ADP the
ability to provide them with an environment that was more specifically
designed to meet their needs.

Today's Story Highlights

Titan Starts Training for Supercomputing's World Cup
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory has awarded U.S. supercomputer
manufacturer Cray a contract to upgrade its existing Jaguar
supercomputer. The contract, which Cray pegs as worth $97 million, will
cover a multi-phase process scheduled for completion in 2013. Cray will
essentially rip out and replace Jaguar's existing processors with the
latest AMD Opteron CPUs and Tesla graphics processing units from Nvidia.

AT&T Plays the 4G Card
With presales of the iPhone 4S reaching record levels, competition among
the carriers is heating up. Sprint Nextel is reportedly going to offer
an unlimited data plan. And AT&T? The carrier reportedly is hoping to
secure approval from Apple to use a "4G" label on the signal bar for its
iPhone 4S devices. It is unclear how much truth is in the rumors, which
were based largely on a leaked memo.

Malware in the Office, in the Sky and on the Phone
October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, according to the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security, and various federal agencies are
ringing it in with a couple of slaps to the head and a kick or two to
the shins. First, the Government Accountability Office issued a report
that stated 24 major federal agencies have inadequate IT security.

Tizen Could Be a Giant Step Back for Mobile Linux
The fact that MeeGo was itself a consolidation and continuation of other
Linux-based mobile and device OS projects -- Intel's Moblin and Nokia's
Maemo -- is yet another historical theme being repeated with Tizen.
These repetitions from the mobile Linux of the past include the
reshuffling of ownership and leadership, merging of efforts, changing
target devices and markets, and lack of the right backers.

Facebook on iPad Leaves Some Room for Fakebooks
The iPad has been on the shelves for about a year and a half, and when
it first debuted it seemed only logical that an official Facebook app
would be ready within weeks, if not days. The world's most popular
social network made the App Store's most popular mobile application with
its iPhone version, so how could it pass up making a custom app for
iPad? But months passed, then a year, and still no iPad app.
