Podcast
Virtualization and Cloud: A Prescription for Healthcare (19:14 minutes)
CharterCare Health Partners has implemented a tag team of cloud
technologies and virtualized desktops to give healthcare professionals
access to the data they need when they need it, regardless of what
device they happen to be using. The successful infrastructure
modernization effort has also helped CharterCARE move to electronic
health records.

Today's Story Highlights

Windows 8 Will Be Less Bossy About Automatic Restarts
Windows 8 will change the way Microsoft's flagship operating system will
deal with updates, the company recently announced. Windows Update will
consolidate all restarts released over each month to synchronize with
Patch Tuesday. This means users' PCs will only restart when security
updates are installed and require a restart.

Researchers Create Brain on a Chip
Although computers have been called "thinking machines," their internal
operations have very little to do with how the original thinking machine
-- the human brain -- actually works. That's changing, however, as some
researchers at MIT and the University of Texas Medical School have
demonstrated in a new computer chip that mimics how the brain learns as
it receives new information.

TOS Trivialities Could Become Law if DoJ Gets Its Way
Something as simple and common as using an online pseudonym could
technically be a violation of the law if the United States Department of
Justice gets what it wants. The DoJ on Tuesday asked Congress to impose
harsher penalties on various types of cyberactivities, including
cybercrime.

Ardour: An Audio Editor That's Hard to Master and Tough to Beat
Using a fully functional digital audio workstation, or DAW, is a
computing necessity only for hard-core audiophiles, musicians and those
who package audio and video content. If you fit one of those categories
and do not know about Ardour, you could be pleasantly surprised at its
power and relative ease-of-use.

Sony Cooks Up Plans to Break Into IPTV
The TV world may soon go the way of the phone and the music industry: a
complete deconstruction thanks to the Internet. The next step may come
from Sony. The company is experimenting with an online TV service,
according to a recent report.
