Podcast
Virtualization and the Always-On Education Environment (26:57 minutes)
Avon Community Schools in Avon, Ind., has been experimenting with
desktop virtualization, and it has recently embarked on a wider
deployment for this school year. "We're finding that we can get
applications out quicker with more quality control, as far as knowing
exactly what's going to happen inside of the VM when you run that
application," said Avon's Jason Lantz.

Today's Story Highlights
Rival Social Nets Scold Google With 'Don't Be Evil' Bookmarklet
Engineers from Facebook, Twitter and MySpace have released a
bookmarklet called "Don't Be Evil" for the Google Chrome browser. A
bookmarklet is a bit of code that runs in a Web browser and temporarily
enables added functionality. This one adds more social search results to
Google's new Search Plus Your World feature.

SC Rules Cops Need Warrant to Slap GPS on Cars
The U.S. Supreme Court decided Monday that law enforcement officials
need a court-approved warrant before using a GPS device to track a
suspect. Justices offered different opinions regarding how Fourth
Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures apply
to the balance between law enforcement and privacy.

A Strategy for Post-Virtualization Security
Virtualization has been one of the most rapidly and widely adopted
technologies in recent memory. It's huge, and it's here to stay. As
security professionals know, setting up a virtual environment securely
isn't easy. Significant effort goes into tasks like evaluating off-
premises service providers, ensuring regulatory compliance, and standing
up technical controls like monitoring and encryption.

CyanogenMod May Start Selling Forbidden Android Fruit
CyanogenMod, which offers aftermarket firmware for Android mobile
devices, is apparently planning to sell apps that have been banned from
the official Android Market. Koushik Dutta, who writes apps for
CyanogenMod, has put up a screenshot of what seems to be the landing
page for the app market.

SOPA Shellacked, PIPA Plastered
The Stop Online Piracy Act, otherwise known as "SOPA," is losing friends
fast, and now it looks like there's a good chance it'll lose the support
it needs to make it out of Congress alive, much less the White House.
SOPA and its Senate bill cousin PIPA, the Protect IP Act, have been
controversial from the beginning, but a recent round of protests have
made them almost toxic.
