Podcast
Virtualization Meets City Hall (18:52 minutes)
Virtualization is bringing new levels of service to the city of
Fairfield, Calif. Important systems for the "police center and also our
fire staffing system were high on the list for protecting," said Eudora
Sindicic, a senior IT analyst for Fairfield. "Those are tier-one
applications that we want to be able to recover very quickly."

Today's Story Highlights

With Razer's Fiona Project, Tablet Gaming Could Go Hardcore
Gaming equipment maker Razer has shown a prototype hybrid PC/tablet
gaming device design at the Consumer Electronics Show. The device,
presently dubbed "Project Fiona," will be a way to combine control and
touch elements to create a unique gaming experience, according to the
company.

Google's Schmidt Does the Android Definition Boogie
As Android smartphones sell like hot cakes -- 3.7 million were
reportedly activated on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day -- concerns
about the fragmentation of the operating system are increasing, and
Google Chairman Eric Schmidt sought to allay those fears while speaking
at a panel at the Consumer Electronics Show Tuesday.

Facebook Riding Shotgun in New Mercedes Models
Facebook will be among the Internet services that can be accessed in new
car models from Mercedes Benz. Facebook access is just one of the new
features in the second generation telematics system, called "Mbrace2,"
which will begin appearing in new Mercedes models this spring.

The Nitty Gritty of the Virtualized Data Center
In 2012, we will see the rise of the data center fabric. Within the
year, multiple Ethernet fabric technologies will mature into shipping
products. This is very timely because server virtualization is now
giving rise to a whole new set of data center challenges that
traditional switching technologies were not equipped to address.

Music Management Takes Flight With Songbird
Asking a seasoned Linux user what music player you should use is akin to
bringing up questions about religion or politics with your drinking
buddies. A much safer strategy is, don't ask and don't tell. But if you
insist, let me throw a suggestion into the fray. Uncage Songbird. You
might be pleasantly surprised at the melodious results.

With Sony's New Crystal LED Display, Color - and Costs - Go to 11
Sony demoed a 55-inch prototype model of a next-generation television
that it calls a "crystal LED display" at CES on Tuesday. It's claimed to
be the first 55-inch full HD self-emitting display using LEDs as the
light source. Sony claims the display offers better contrast, more color
and faster video image response times than its existing LCD displays.
