Podcast
Tight Purse Strings Force IT to Grow Up Fast (26:48 minutes)
Financial pressures are forcing many new adjustments on IT leaders. CIOs
are gaining new perspectives and developing more mature strategies for
giving IT a more central role in how a business innovates productively.
It all comes down to operating like a business within a business.

Today's Story Highlights

Stuxnet Sibling Duqu Slinks Into Industrial Systems
Malware that appears to be similar to the highly toxic Stuxnet worm was
made public Tuesday by security firm Symantec. Duqu, named for the "~DQ"
file names it creates, appears to work as a remote access data-
collecting program that uses some of the same infecting techniques as
Stuxnet, the malware discovered about a year ago infiltrating global
computer systems, particularly in Iran.

Google Serves Up Ice Cream Sandwich With a Nexus on the Side
Google unveiled Android 4.0, aka "Ice Cream Sandwich," in Hong Kong
on Wednesday. The presentation was accompanied by Samsung's announcement
of the Galaxy Nexus, the first smartphone running Ice Cream Sandwich.
Ice Cream Sandwich is a redesign of the Android OS. It has a highly
visual interface, a facial-recognition feature and home-screen folders.

RIM Gambles on Android-Loving Frankensystem
Can a new mobile operating system pull Research In Motion, maker of
BlackBerry devices, out of its current funk? Not only has the company
been steadily losing market share to competitors with flashier phones --
namely Apple and makers of Android handsets -- but its worldwide network
recently experienced technical difficulties that left some of its
customers without service for as long as three days.

The False Economies of the Info Security World
Organizations love false economies. It may not be an entirely conscious
act on their part, but it's certainly the truth: Hang around any
organization long enough, and you'll find at least one instance where it
tries to save on doing A but winds up spending more on doing B in the
process.

PhotoRec Heroically Rescues Deleted Files
How many times have you accidentally deleted a photo you really needed
from a digital camera or attached storage medium? We've all been there
and done that! Sure, if you delete most files -- even some standard
graphics images -- from the hard drive, the Linux trash can visibly
holds the goods. But unless you know about PhotoRec, your deleted
photographic images and files stay buried in hidden-file hell.

Motorola's New Razr: Cutting-Edge or Just Another Droid?
Motorola Mobility on Tuesday announced its latest smartphone, confirming
many of the rumors and spec leaks that had already begun to surround the
handset. It's called the "Droid Razr," its body is partially made of
Kevlar, it has a 4.3-inch Gorilla Glass display, it's a 4G LTE device,
and it's headed to the Verizon Wireless Network.
