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

BlackBerry's Thorny Problem Chokes Service in North America
Research In Motion's continuing BlackBerry service disruptions hit
customers in North America Wednesday. This makes the disruptions, which
first emerged in Europe, the Middle East and Africa on Monday, a
worldwide phenomenon. RIM states that subscribers may be experiencing
intermittent service delays this morning and that it's working to
resolve the situation as quickly as possible.

Feds Secretly Fish Through Suspects' Online Lives
The United States Department of Justice reportedly used a secret court
order to get information from the email accounts of WikiLeaks volunteer
Jacob Appelbaum. The DoJ reportedly put the squeeze on Google and
Sonic.net, a small Internet service provider, to turn over the email
addresses of the people with whom Appelbaum communicated.

iPhone 4S, iOS 5, iCloud: All the Pretty Pieces Come Together
Apple made available on Wednesday the newest version of its mobile
operating system, iOS 5. In order to get it, iDevice users will need to
install the newly updated iTunes 10.5, which rolled out Tuesday. The new
system enables iPhone users to sync their devices with their Macs or PCs
via WiFi instead of tethering the phone to the computer.

Ubuntu Upgrade a Mixed Bag at Best
Canonical will release its upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10 on Oct. 13. If you
suffered through version 11.04 in hopes that something better would
arrive in 11.10, you suffered in vain. For the typical user, very little
of anything new is bundled into this latest Ubuntu upgrade. To be
honest, my early hands-on experience with Ubuntu 11.10 did not
disappoint me -- not really, anyway. I was not expecting much.

iPad's the Mobile Device Superhighway for Web Traffic
Mobile devices are generating a growing portion of Internet traffic,
according to comScore, with much of it coming from iPads and iPhones.
comScore quantifies the Web traffic driven specifically by smartphones
and tablets at 6.8 percent. Of that 6.8 percent, two-thirds come from
mobile devices and one-third from tablets.
