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

Nook Goes Full Tablet
Bookseller Barnes & Noble expanded on its Nook line of handheld devices
and unveiled the Nook Tablet on Monday. The company also announced
upgrades to its Nook Color, a device that was previously offered as its
entry into the tablet market, and its Nook Simple Touch e-reader. The
Nook Tablet, which is available for pre-order online and at the
bookseller's stores, is priced at $249.

Microsoft Issues Fix to Keep Duqu at Bay
Microsoft on Friday released a temporary fix for a Microsoft Word
vulnerability that allows the Duqu worm to attack PCs. The flaw, in
TrueType font parsing, could let an attacker run arbitrary code in
kernel mode, installing programs; view, change or delete data; or create
new accounts with full user rights, Microsoft said.

Step Aside, Tablets - the Ultrabooks Are Coming
The industry joke on the early MacBook Airs was that even though they
had decent Intel processors, they stepped down in performance in order
to keep from burning up. What was kind of funny was that Lenovo, which
had a similar product in market with a slower processor but running at
full speed (so it was actually faster), got dinged -- and Apple didn't.

My Secret Folder Keeps Your iPhone's Personal Bits Safe and Sound
The problem with an iPhone is that it begs to be shared. You've got
photos on it, movies, videos, email, great apps and super games you want
to share -- so you hand over your iPhone, and as your boss is flipping
through the photos of your weekend bicycling adventure, up comes the
slightly risque photo of your girlfriend frolicking on the trail. Uh oh.

Ubuntu's Maverick Mobile Move
If there was ever any doubt as to Canonical's true intentions with its
touch-enabled Unity interface, those doubts were laid to rest last week.
Unity has often been described as a "mobile-inspired" interface, and
voila! Canonical has finally admitted that it plans to bring Ubuntu onto
mobile devices. At last, it all makes sense!
