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."

Today's Story Highlights

Mind-Reading Tech May Give Speechless a New Voice
Someday, people whose ability to speak has been damaged by illness or
injury may be able to vocalize anyway with the help of technology.
Researchers at UC Berkeley have made strides toward translating the
words a person thinks into real speech. The researchers used 15 patients
undergoing neurosurgery as subjects.

Twitter CEO's Tweet-Blocking Defense: It's Just Business
Twitter is on the defensive over its new tweet-filtering policy, which
it considers a progressive, forward-looking approach to complying with
local laws around the globe. Speaking at Dive Into Media Monday night,
Twitter CEO Dick Costolo characterized the changes as a way to ensure
that more people see tweets.

Apple Remakes Final Cut Pro X
Apple announced an update Tuesday of its video editing software Final
Cut Pro X aimed at quelling dissatisfaction with the product among
professional media producers. This latest version of the software,
release 10.0.3, is available from the Apple's App Store as a free
upgrade for existing Final Cut Pro X users and for $299 for new users. A
30-day free trial version is also available.

SMPlayer: Flexible, Feature-Filled Player Has One Frustrating Flaw
When it comes to playing audio and video files in Linux, media players
pretty much all work the same way and have a very similar user
interface. It usually all comes down to features. With SMPlayer it
depends on what you want to play. Unfortunately, this bug of sorts is
something its developer Ricardo Villalba has yet to resolve in the
latest release, version 0.7.0.

Fitness to Go: Anywhere, Anytime Exercise Classes
Fitness instructor and personal trainer Yu Hannah Kim has always
believed that fitness should be available to anyone. Now, with the
launch of her new site, Yufit, she's making that dream a reality. Yufit
offers streaming videos for everything from cardio kickboxing and core
burn workouts to yoga and stretching.
