Podcast
The Winds of Radical Application Transformation (33:27 minutes)
It's clear that radical, not incremental, adjustment is in order to make
sure that the cloud and mobile era is a gained opportunity and not a
fatal or devastating misfire for IT operators and business strategists.
"We have to go through a radical transformation now in terms of our
applications," said HP's Paul Evans. "I don't use these words lightly."

Today's Story Highlights

Facebook Whittles Down 6 Degrees of Separation to 4.74
Six degrees of separation may be good enough for most people, but for
Facebook members, it's only 4.74 degrees, according to a study conducted
jointly by the social networking giant and the University of Milan.
Conducted earlier this year, the study examined all 721 million active
Facebook users, who had 69 billion friendships among them, Facebook
said.

Bad Security Moon Rising
All things considered, this past week has been hell on security
professionals. On Monday, AT&T Wireless announced that hackers used
automatic scripts to target some subscribers in a bid to steal
information stored in their online accounts. They apparently didn't
succeed.

An iPad Lover Plays With Fire, Part 1
I'm a happy owner of an iPad 2, but I bought a Kindle Fire anyway. It
seems like a silly purchase, on the surface -- after all, what can a
Kindle Fire do that an iPad can't? Hmm. Not much of anything, really,
except run Android apps and play nicely with Amazon.com's growing world
of content.

Open Source and the Open Road, Part 1
A new wave of really cool devices will soon do more than simply
integrate your mobile gadgets with your automobile. Pairing your
smartphone with your car's sound system and on-board navigation platform
is already old hat. Car makers are now looking at how to expand that
concept to enhance the notion of your car being treated as one big
mobile device.

Fully Loaded Curiosity Rover Readies for Trek to Red Planet
Following a one-day delay, NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission
featuring its new Curiosity rover is now scheduled for launch on
Saturday, Nov. 26, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
Representing the largest and most advanced rover ever sent to the Red
Planet, the automobile-sized Curiosity vehicle will look for evidence of
water, carbon and other key elements in the Martian soil and atmosphere.
