Podcast
Cloud Computing: Revolution vs. Evolution (36:27 minutes)
To businesspeople, cloud computing is often regarded as a revolution.
But to IT, it's just an evolution of infrastructure efficiency. Where
does this dual vision come from? For IT, it's all about ways to improve
delivery of the server-centric, application-centric environment,
according to Capgemini's Andy Mulholland. "However, businesspeople ...
reflect on it in terms of the change in society and the business
world."

Today's Story Highlights

iOS Smokes Android in HTML5 Drag Race
Apple's iOS handles HTML5-based games as much as three times better than
Google's Android in HTML5, according to a new study from Spaceport. The
report specifically measured how many images could be moved around the
screen at a time while maintaining a rate of 30 frames per second.

Riding on Electricity
They don't make any noise. They don't vibrate. They don't rely on the
many tiny controlled explosions of internal combustion. Electric
motorcycles, in short, are completely different beasts from their
gasoline cousins. "It's the magic carpet ride," said Abe Askenazi, chief
technology officer for electric motorcycle manufacturer Zero
Motorcycles.

Buzz Shakes Off Clutter With Streamlined Contacts Management
I haven't lost a phone number in about 10 years. That's thanks in part
to never having lost a cellphone or dropped it into a large body of
water -- not in the last decade, anyway. And now that cloud syncing
services are easy to use, even a missing or broken phone doesn't
necessarily mean you'll have to resort to one of those sheepish "send me
your numbers" posts on Facebook.

Smart Tools App Hits Genius on the Clever Meter
I was looking for an app that would substitute for the dedicated and
expensive rangefinder device that's used for judging long distances
while hunting and golfing, when I came across Android Boy's remarkable
all-in-one $2.50 Smart Tools. This product has taken the smartphone-as-
tool concept to the next level by providing tools for length and angle;
distance; compass, including metal detector; and sound, including dB
meter and vibration.

Protecting NASA From Hackers Is Not Rocket Science, Say Analysts
NASA has become a popular target of hackers. The space agency's computer
network was breached 13 times in 2011 -- to the point where suspected
Chinese hackers gained "full functional control" of computers used by
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory," a government inspector general told
congressional investigators.
