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

Sneaky App Masquerades as Netflix in Latest Android Malware Scare
A fake Netflix app for Android that steals users' data has popped up in
the Android Market, according to Symantec. The security vendor has named
it "Android.Fakeneflic." The app consists of a splash screen followed by
a log-in screen, which captures the victim's information and posts it to
an outside server.

Tips for Using Tech Gadgets if You're Physically Challenged
Impairments in the body's functions and structure, as well as the
limitations in activities caused by those impairments, have historically
placed disabled people at often insurmountable disadvantages. Reader
Fred Cheshire, who's a C5/6 quadriplegic, asked how to use tablets and
mobile phones when you have no finger control.

Do Volunteer Programmers Produce Better Code?
Those of us who love Linux and other free and open source software are
already well-acquainted with the many benefits of FOSS: flexibility,
security, customizability and freedom from vendor lock-in, to name just
a few. Quality, of course, is another big one, at least in part because
there are typically so many people around the globe constantly improving
the code.

Early Reviews: iPhone 4S Is Almost Revolutionary
When Apple first debuted the iPhone 4S, reactions were less than wowed.
The new product looked an awful lot like earlier iterations -- and
worse, it was not the much-anticipated iPhone 5. Consumers hankering for
a new iPhone have seemed just fine with it, though. Presales have broken
records. With the iPhone 4S about to hit the shelves and early reviews
coming in, it might be time to reconsider the position of the excitement
needle.

Sony Recalls 1.6 Million TVs on Fear of Flame-Ups
Sony has issued a voluntary recall for 1.6 million Bravia flat-panel TVs
sold worldwide covering certain TVs sold since 2007. A defective
component reportedly causes them to be slightly more likely to melt or
catch fire than the average TV. In September, a Japanese customer
discovered that his TV started a small fire.

Enterprise Security System Puts Android Under Lock and Key
The proliferation of smartphones has created headaches for security-
minded IT departments everywhere, but a Motorola subsidiary aims to give
system administrators more peace of mind with a solution for managing
Android phones in business environments. Three Laws Mobility, purchased
by Motorola eight months ago, announced Tuesday that its management
solution for Android phones is now ready for prime time.
