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

HTC Goes Loud and Proud With New Rezound Android Phone
HTC on Thursday announced its latest smartphone, the Rezound, an Android

Jimmy Iovine's start-up Beats Audio.

Siri's Service Stutters Spark Strife
Siri, the voice-activated virtual personal assistant that's enamored
owners of the iPhone 4S since the device was launched in October, has
been hit by another service outage. Users began posting complaints about
the latest outage to the Twitter Siri page on Wednesday, saying they
couldn't get Siri to respond to voice commands because it couldn't
connect to the network.

Google's Algorithm Dance: No Fancy Footwork for Quality Publishers
Google is introducing a change to its search algorithm that will impact
some 35 percent of searches on the Internet. The end goal of the massive
shift is to encourage publishers to keep content as fresh as possible,
especially as it relates to recent news and events that are regularly
updated.

Quantum Computers, Part 3: A Whole New World
At universities and companies around the globe, there are people
plugging away trying to solve the myriad technological challenges of
quantum computers. But that doesn't mean practical applications of
quantum computing are some futuristic fantasy. Already, quantum
technology is trickling into the real world.

Hacking the Google TV Box Without Rooting It, Part 2
With the leaked Honeycomb 3.1 operating system installed, my Logitech
Revue Google TV box was, for all intents and purposes, driving a giant
Honeycomb tablet. The only problem was that there wasn't really any
nonsubscription, ad-supported content -- none that I was interested in,
anyway -- on the box.

The Cybermugging of America
Criminals in countries all over the world, including allies of the
United States, are committing cybertheft and industrial espionage
against America, the National Counterintelligence Agency has warned. In
a report submitted to Congress in October, the agency states that
foreign collectors of sensitive economic information can operate in
cyberspace with relatively little risk of being detected.
