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

Blanket EU Privacy Regs Could Make Facebook Break a Sweat
The European Union may begin an overhaul of its 1995 Data Protection
Directive next year to provide one single unified body of legislation on
this issue. EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding will propose the
reform in January, according to spokesperson Matthew Newman.

Nanoparticle Batteries Could Make Wind and Solar Power More Practical
Researchers at Stanford University have used nanoparticles of copper
hexacyanoferrate to create electrodes that could lead to large batteries
for storing excess power from the electrical grid for future use. These
might be best used in wind and solar farms, the researchers stated in a
paper published recently.

Welcome to Cyber Monday
Well, today is your first day back (if you live in the U.S.) from the
long Thanksgiving holiday, and you are likely still suffering through a
bit of a food coma hangover and are wondering where your waist went.
Trust me, it went on a long vacation and probably won't come out again
until summer -- or it may be gone for good.

Does Any App Play Straight Poker Anymore?
When Apple pulled its popular "Texas Hold'em" game from the App Store, I
was moderately surprised, but then again, it's not like Apple was
actively developing the game over the years. And besides, after racking
up $100 million or so against the Artificial Intelligence engine, it's
been a long time since I've actively played it.

Why Do People Keep Using Windows?
Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone for another year here in the U.S.,
and that means the holiday season is thick upon us once again. We
*could* buckle down and get working on all those holiday shopping lists,
but it's not difficult to think of countless ideas that would be a whole
lot more fun. Take a good, old-fashioned debate, for example -- about
operating systems, no less!
