Podcast
The Over/Under on Cloud Security (36:24 minutes)
Ever since the term "the cloud" came into use, security has been one of
the subject's most hotly debated topics. Is it riskier from a security
perspective to conduct operations and store data outside a business' own
four walls? Or can security actually be better in the cloud, in the same
way a safe deposit box may be a safer place to store valuables than
one's own home?

Today's Story Highlights
White House Looks to Nail Down Online Privacy Regulations
Undeterred by its battle to convince Congress to pass the cybersecurity
legislation it proposed last May, the White House on Thursday unveiled a
proposal for an online consumer privacy bill of rights. This is part of
a blueprint to improve consumer privacy protection in the United States.

Tube Tweeting: How to Use Twitter When Watching TV
If you think of some of the more recent significant developments in
television viewing, you'll probably come up with a list that includes
the digital video recorder, which provides easy time-shifting without
lossy tape; the flat-screen high-definition television, which provides
high-quality images as well as space-saving and eco-advantages over the
bulky old cathode ray tube; and rampant cord-cutting.

Why the World Is Desperately Seeking Linux Talent
A recent study from The Linux Foundation has found that Linux talent is
a hot commodity among many hiring companies. The conclusions made sense
to many in the Linux blogosphere. "Linux and open source are becoming
strategic investments in many companies and have been for years," said
Chris Travers of the LedgerSMB project. Others, however, took issue with
the study's methodology.

OS X Mountain Lion: 7 Out of 10 Ain't Bad
Not long after I expressed my irritation and desire for a converged iOS
and Mac OS X experience, Apple announced its OS X Mountain Lion sneak
peek. I claim no influence over Apple, of course, just the fact that OS
X Mountain Lion is bridging the rift between iOS and Mac OS X. Of the 10
major new sneak-peek features revealed by Apple, seven are freaking
awesome.

Google Sees a Bright Future in Smart Shades
Reports that Google is working on special glasses that will stream
information to a display in one lens in real time have once again
surfaced. The glasses will apparently hit retail shelves by the end of
the year. They will be priced in about the same ballpark as new
smartphones, meaning they'll likely fall into the $250 to $600 price
range. The glasses will reportedly run on Android.
