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

Water Pump Hack Paints Picture of Leaky Utility Security
A small water utility in Illinois has been hacked, reportedly leading
the FBI and the United States Department of Homeland Security to look
into the matter. The attack came from Russia, according to control
systems cybersecurity expert Joseph Weiss, who publicized the matter in
his blog.

The Fretful Future of Flash
What's the future for Flash devs now that Adobe has turned its back on
Flash Player for mobile devices and has shifted focus to HTML 5? Will
Flash for the desktop survive or will it die out too? Adobe has pledged
to enable Flash devs to package native apps with Adobe AIR for all the
major mobile app stores, but it won't develop Flash Player for new
mobile device technology after version 11.1.

Galaxy Nexus Volume Bug Has Users Screaming and Shouting
User forums are lit up with complaints about Samsung's Galaxy Nexus
smartphone, which was released in the UK late last week. It seems that
the handset's volume control goes haywire when the connection shifts to
a 2G band. The Galaxy Nexus is the first phone to ship with Android 4.0,
also known as "Ice Cream Sandwich."

The Technology Scandals of 2012
Next year is an election year, and there is no doubt we will have plenty
of examples of politicians who should have had their hormones either
surgically removed or had someone wiser make their decisions for them.
On the other hand, the technology market has certainly had its fill of
scandals over the last 12 months, many of which centered on HP and its
revolving CEO door.

Thoughts of Thankfulness From Linux Land
Well, the holiday season is just about upon us for another year, and for
those of us in the United States, it starts this week with Thanksgiving.
That, of course, is when we begin the festive meal that will ravage
diets and waistlines across the land, leaving a trail of discarded
wishbones and skinny jeans in its wake.

iPad App Uses Camera to Monitor Your Vitals With Surprising Accuracy
Until recently, it has never occurred to me to check my heart rate with
my iPad 2. Sure, I know there are medical apps that doctors and nurses
are using to store and move information around, but using the camera in
the iPad 2 to check my heart rate? And breathing rate too? No way.

CERN Do-over Results in Faster-Than-Light Particles ... Again
The international research team that found neutrinos traveling faster
than light has done it again. It conducted another set of experiments
and again found neutrinos that exceeded the speed of light. As in the
first experiment, the researchers fired high-intensity, high-energy
beams of muon neutrinos from the CERN SPS accelerator in Geneva toward
the LNGS underground laboratory in Gran Sasso, Italy, 454 miles away.
