Podcast
Desperately Seeking Data Management (22:39 minutes)
In the world of information management, project collapse is common,
whether it's because of cost, process or the people running the show.
The information architect "has to be a team player, working closely with
technology, because more and more information will be not just
machine-readable, but machine-processable and interpretable," said Build
The Vision's Robert Weisman.

Today's Story Highlights

Nitro Hackers Rifle Through Chemical Companies' Secret Data
From April through mid-September, with a 45-day hiatus in between,
hackers were busy attacking a series of targets, culminating in the
chemical and defense industries, Symantec has reported. A total of 29
chemical industry companies and 19 others, mainly in the defense sector,
were hit.

Is the Mac Pro on Apple's Chopping Block?
Apple's Mac Pro Line could be on its way out, according to a recent
report. If it proves true, the development could leave behind a void in
the company's enterprise space. The powerful, pricey computers, which
start at $2,499, are reportedly suffering from low demand.

What Open Source Can Learn From Steve Jobs, Part 2
The blind hatred of Free Software Foundation President Richard Stallman
toward proprietary programs is such that he has given speeches in which
he advocated for software piracy. Stallman wrote this the day after
Steve Jobs died: "As Chicago Mayor Harold Washington said of the corrupt
former Mayor Daley, 'I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone.'"

The Enthralling 'Steve Jobs' - Brilliance, Weirdness, Warts and All
If you are on the fence about whether to buy and read Steve
Jobs by Walter Isaacson, I have an answer for you: Do it. However,
I should warn you, the book isn't for the faint of heart. It's 656 pages
in the hardcover edition, which translates to a couple thousand on your
iPhone if you buy it as an e-book.

Ubuntu Linux to Hit Tablets, Phones, TVs in the Nick of Time?
Ubuntu is already the leading Linux distribution on desktop PCs,
according to DistroWatch, and now it's set its sights on tablets,
smartphones and even TVs as well. Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth
called the move "probably the most significant broadening of scope in
Ubuntu's history."
