Podcast
The Automation Revelation (21:39 minutes)
UK managed service provider InTechnology says it's reaped tremendous
benefits from an automated lifecycle approach. "When you've got like 80
percent of all incidents raised automatically, it takes a massive burden
off the 24/7 teams and the customer support guys, who are not spending
the majority of their time creating incidents but actually working to
resolve them," said InTechnology's Ed Jackson.

Today's Story Highlights

Next Kinect Could Be a Lot More Understanding
The next generation of Microsoft's Kinect input device may be able to
read users' lips and emotions. The forthcoming device, which is expected
to come bundled with Xbox consoles, reportedly will not just sense
motions the way the current Kinect generation does, but will also allow
games to read lips, recognize which way players are facing, and detect
when they are angry.

Fire in the Sky: iPhone Ignites on Australian Flight
An Apple iPhone 4 began emitting smoke and appeared to spontaneously
combust on a recent Regional Express flight to Sydney, Australia. The
phone was emitting a significant amount of dense smoke, accompanied by a
red glow, according to Regional Express. No one on board was injured.

Malware for Sale
The holiday shopping season is in full swing, even for malicious
hackers. Cybercriminals are lining up to lay hands on a new exploit that
takes advantage of a recently patched critical security flaw in Java,
security researcher Brian Krebs warned recently.

White House, Congress Renew Cybersecurity Push
In a rare showing of bipartisanship, members of Congress and the White
House are trying to breathe new life into the effort to enact national
cybersecurity legislation. In a recent flurry of activity, mainly
between the Obama administration and the Senate, the issue got back on
the legislative track.

An iPad Lover Plays With Fire, Part 2
As a happy iPad owner, I've been messing around with a Kindle Fire, and
for the most part, I like what I'm experiencing. The Kindle Fire is a
solid tablet with a generally pleasing interface. While it doesn't
compare to an iPad in a real direct way -- apples to apples, oranges to
oranges -- it's a tablet, and more importantly, it has the potential to
capture the hearts and minds of at least some Apple-loving users.
