Podcast
Crossroads: Enterprise Architecture and Transformation (40:03 minutes)
Enterprise architecture and enterprise transformation are two distinct
concepts, but how much of a role should the former play in the latter?
Should EA's role be tightly constrained in the process of
transformation? Or is enterprise transformation nowadays significantly
dependent upon architecture? Should we make enterprise architecture a
critical aspect for any business moving forward?

Today's Story Highlights

Iran Likely Suspect in Cyberattacks Against BBC
The BBC was the target of hack attacks earlier this month, according to
comments made by BBC Director-General Mark Thompson in a wide-ranging
speech to the Royal Television Society on Wednesday. There was a
simultaneous attempt to jam two different satellite feeds of BBC Persian
into Iran, and to disrupt BBC's London telephone lines via multiple
automatic calls, he said. There was also a sophisticated cyberattack on
the news service.

Former Employee to Microsoft: You're Doing It Wrong
Microsoft recently issued the first consumer preview of its upcoming
Windows 8 operating system, and at least one user isn't wowed by the
dramatic design changes found in the new OS. Microsoft has been keeping
users up to date on the software construction process with a blog called
"Building Windows 8," meant to get users enthused and informed about the
new features.

Opening the Vault: How Classic B-Ball Footage Finds New Life Online
March Madness is upon us, and there are few better places for hoops fans
to get their fix than the NCAA Vault. The Vault, powered by Thought
Equity Motion, is a treasure for hoops nuts, hosting video content of
the NCAA Basketball Tournament dating back to the 1970s -- dunks,
buzzer-beaters, even entire games.

Nvidia's Excellent Linux Adventure
Well, spring appears to be springing early here in the Linux
blogosphere's Northern reaches, so summer can't be far behind. Sunny
personalities and flower lovers across the land are surely rejoicing,
but for Linux Girl, it's one more reason to hit the blogosphere's Broken
Windows Lounge early. Penguins and heat do not go together, after all.

AT&T Could Lose Big in David-vs.-Goliath Match
AT&T and litigant Matthew Spaccarelli are engaged in a war of words that
AT&T appears to be losing. The incident began when Spaccarelli sued AT&T
in small claims court in California. He charged that the company had
violated his unlimited data plan agreement for his iPhone by throttling,
or slowing down, his data speed. The court agreed and awarded
Spaccarelli $850 for his trouble -- and the situation quickly worsened
for AT&T.
