Podcast
Building the Data Center on Small Victories (31:35 minutes)
Keeping an operating budget in place can be a lot easier when you have
something to show for it. Sometimes that requires strategy. IT managers
can keep the cash flowing by setting themselves up for quick wins and
small victories. "We've seen that when a customer is successful in
breaking down a large project into a set of quick wins, there are some
very positive outcomes from that," said HP's Duncan Campbell.

Today's Story Highlights

Google Mashes Up Eggheads' Big Ideas With Solve for X
Google has launched a new program devoted to fostering discussions and
ideas among leaders in the science and technology industries. The
project, dubbed "Solve for X," aims to be a seeding ground for solutions
to some of the world's most pressing problems. The site is meant to
inspire "moonshot" thinking, out-of-the-box technologies, and projects
that might seem like science fiction.

Eating Right: There Are Apps - and More - for That
One day, Hemi Weingarten's wife brought home some glow-in-the-dark
yogurt for their three young children. He read the ingredient list to
find out how the strawberries could be so red, and finding "Red #40,"
looked it up online. He was surprised to discover that it was a
controversial chemical banned in parts of Europe. That incident made him
realize there was a consumer market for nutritional information.

iOS More Crashtastic Than Android
The rivalry between Google and Apple in the cutthroat mobile device
world took a new turn recently when mobile-app support platform company
Crittercism published a study that found iOS apps crash more often than
their Android counterparts. Crittercism analyzed more than 214 million
apps launched in November and December that use its service.

Avid Studio: Thumbs Up on Interface, Sideways on Features
Back when Apple promised editing features built into the iPhone 3GS (the
first iPhone to have a video camera), I wondered how a video-editing
program could possibly fit into a phone. It wasn't just a question of
available processing power, though that was part of it. It was also a
question of screen size.

BTJunkie Scurries Into the Shadows
BitTorrent search engine BTJunkie has abruptly shut down its website,
giving its users a short and sweet goodbye: "We've decided to
voluntarily shut down. We've been fighting for years for your right to
communicate, but it's time to move on." It appears likely that the move
was a defensive maneuver in response to law enforcement's takedown of
the Megaupload site in January.
