Podcast
When Data Met Processing (33:48 minutes)
There's a fundamental change going on in how we approach the data that's
coming from IT systems in order to get a better monitoring and analysis
capability. "The data has to be analyzed in real-time," said AccelOps'
Mahesh Kumar. "By 'real-time,' I mean in streaming mode before the data
hits the disk."

Meeting the Productivity Challenge in a Consumerized IT World
Employees are growing more comfortable working from their own devices,
particularly with the increasing adoption of portable technologies like
the tablet computer. They are also accustomed to self-service delivery
of applications in their personal lives, with almost instant access to
apps and new services. IT managers need to learn how to get a handle on
these devices rather than fight a losing battle with regulation.

New Android Scare: Just How Malignant Is That Malware?
Antivirus vendor Symantec announced recently that up to 5 million
Android devices may have been infected with a particular type of
malware. Multiple publishers were pushing out apps -- some of which were
found in the official Android Market -- containing malware known as
"Counterclank," according to the AV company.

Yoink: Efficient Swatch Snatcher Makes Full-Screen Feel Less Bloated
Of all the changes brought about with OS X Lion, full-screen viewing was
one that failed to make much of an impression on me, at least at first.
Ballooning a window to the edges of the screen and blowing out the menu
bar seemed a little restrictive at first. Full-screening an app the way
OS X does it just felt uncomfortable and weird.

Apple Does the Money Dance
Apple's first fiscal quarter is usually a big one. The way its financial
calendar works out, what it considers Q1 ends on Dec. 31, meaning it
covers the entire holiday period, as well as maybe a little back-to-
school action. But the numbers Apple posted about its most recent Q1
were in an entirely different class than the usual money bender it wakes
up from this time of year.
