Podcast
Limbering Up for a Data Center Makeover (27:31 minutes)
The pitfalls of center transformation can be avoided by balancing
long-term goals with short-term flexibility. Be ready to constantly
evaluate based on metrics and to reassess execution plans as DCT
projects unfold. Clinging too tightly to long-term plans and roadmaps
could potentially cause you to lose sight of how actual progress is
being made -- or not.

Today's Story Highlights
Amazon Spins Up DynamoDB Database as a Service
Amazon.com has launched its DynamoDB fully managed NoSQL database
service, targeting businesses that need to deal with large amounts of
data. The service will use the company's traditional pay-as-you-go
model, and Amazon will take care of the administrative side of things,
such as hardware provisioning and configuration, replication and
partitioning.

Tapping Your Smartphone's Processing Power for Classic Photography
The stumbling-block to using a phone as an all-in-one solution for
photography is basically that the lenses aren't as good as those on any
dedicated camera. While you would expect a DSLR camera to sport a better
lens, even the most basic, sub-hundred-dollar point-and-shoots have
higher quality glass than the best phones.

What If Cook Really Isn't a Product Guy?
At first, I was surprised to see the flurry of blog and comment traffic
recently over Scott Forstall, the Apple "CEO-in-waiting," as portrayed
by a new book about Apple coming out next week. I thought, What's wrong
with current CEO Tim Cook? Is he going somewhere? Didn't he just get a
bunch of new compensation packages worth hundreds of millions of
dollars?

SOPA Support Goes Sour
The Stop Online Piracy Act appears to be reeling in the face of growing
opposition. Internet heavyweights like Wikipedia, Google and Facebook
have demonstrated their opposition to the proposed legislation, in some
cases protesting by temporarily blocking users from accessing content.

All Hail Debian, King of the Web Server World
There's nothing like a popularity contest to elicit a wide array of
opinions, but recently an example appeared in the Linux blogosphere that
seems to be something of an exception. "Debian is now the most popular
Linux distribution on web servers," proclaimed W3Techs in a blog post.
For the most part, Linux geeks appeared to be largely in agreement.
Could this be a historic first?
