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

Privacy Advocates Fiercely Furrow Brows at Google
Google will consolidate about 60 of its privacy policies across its
products in March, creating one overarching policy and leaving only
about another 10 unchanged for legal and other reasons. The company is
also changing its terms of service. It will also combine information on
Google account holders across all the company's services the account
holder uses.

Assange to Test His Charm on Russian TV
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has plans to host a new TV show called
"The World Tomorrow." The half-hour weekly episodes are scheduled to
begin airing in mid-March on Russia's English-language RT channel. It
will reach some 60 million global viewers. Assange sees the series as a
vehicle to discuss the issues of the day with the people who are shaping
the future.

Take the 5th? Not With Encrypted Hard Drives, Says Fed Judge
Encrypting data on your computer may protect you from hackers and
thieves, but it won't protect you from crime investigators. That was the
finding of a federal district court in Colorado Monday in a case
involving a woman who refused to decrypt the files on her laptop for
government prosecutors.

Big Data's Big Challenges for Content Management
As many know, content is getting bigger -- way bigger -- and this is
scary to many technologists. At the same time, it's also getting
smarter. Applications are growing more complex, challenging IT pros as
never before. How will these changes impact content management
technologies? It's difficult to predict exactly, but there are insights
to be found and used to plan for the future.

Fotowall Has a Sharp Eye for Sweet Collages
Eye candy can be a great user experience sweetener, but tastes vary
widely as to how much is just enough, and it's one differentiator among
Linux desktops. Fotowall is a handy app that can spice up your desktop
as well as create personalized print and wallpaper displays. Fotowall is
a really clever collage-making tool of sorts.

The Pirate Bay and 3D Printing: Big Booty?
Peer-to-peer sharing site The Pirate Bay has set up a page hosting
digital 3D mockups -- digital 3D files -- for visitors to download and
print out on 3D printers. Physical objects, or "physibles," as Pirate
Bay calls them, will constitute the next step in copying, according to
the site.
