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

modernization effort has also helped CharterCARE move to electronic
health records.

Today's Story Highlights

AOL Takes Another Shot at AIM
AOL has updated its longstanding AIM instant messaging service and
rolled out a preview for the public. The new AIM automatically displays
photos, videos and tweets even when users are writing or reading IMs. It
also has a chat feature and syncs messages onto all a user's devices.
AIM is available in versions for the Web, Windows PCs and Macs, as well
as Android and iOS mobile devices.

Microsoft Begins Hawking Second-Gen Table-Sized Tablet
The Microsoft Surface 2.0, a coffee-table-sized, tablet-like touchscreen
computer, is ready for preorder in 23 countries, including the United
States. The Surface first emerged in 2007 and used cameras and its
touchscreen to interact with people and objects. The model available for
preorder is called the "SUR40" and is manufactured by Samsung.

How to Lock Down Your Laptop While on the Road
Losing a laptop may be less painful now than it used to be because the
cost of replacing the physical device has trickled downward recently.
You can now pick up a decent workhorse for three or four hundred dollars
at a big-box retailer. Big deal if you lose it. What hasn't become less
valuable, though, is the data held within.

All Eyes on HTML5 as Mobile Flash Fades to Black
If ever there was an announcement to get tongues wagging in the Linux
blogosphere and beyond, it was the news that Adobe will stop developing
Flash for mobile devices. That, of course, is just what was announced
last week, and the wagging hasn't stopped ever since.
