Podcast
The Proper Care and Feeding of Virtualized Environments (29:49 minutes)
IT support has grown ever more complex with the increased use of
virtualization and the cloud. Virtualization isn't just server by
server; it really impacts the entire data center. It needs to be thought
about holistically, particularly in regard to things like security and
performance.

Today's Story Highlights
PlayStation 4 to Sport Big Graphics Muscle
Sony is working on the PlayStation 4, which it calls "Orbis," and plans
to release the device in time for the holiday season in 2013. The
console can reportedly play 3D games at 1080p resolution, as compared to
the PS3's 720p. It apparently won't be backward-compatible with games
for the PS3 and will reportedly seek to bar owners from playing used games.

How to Overclock a CPU: Getting Started
Overclocking a CPU sounds seductive, right? Adjust a few settings on
your phone or tablet, and the device goes faster. Games play without
laborious, stuttering, forced slow-motion effects, and everything loads
quicker. Well, like everything in life, these adjustments involve a
tradeoff. Just as there are risks in taking your car out for a rural run
and heavy-footing it, there are implications for a CPU speedup.

Why Tech Tangles Are More Painful for Apple Users
Is Apple pain worse than PC pain? I don't know the answer, but it seems
to me that a weird mix of personality, expectation and Apple's business
model all conspire to create dreadful pain in Apple enthusiasts whenever
something with an Apple product goes wrong.

The Privacy Pickle
"Is privacy only for those with something to hide?" is the title of an
open ballot on TuxRadar that has kicked off quite a debate. TuxRadar
points to the full-disk encryption option now offered by several Linux
distributions -- along with potential law-enforcement implications --
but the topic is also particularly timely in light of Canonical's recent
moves to step up Ubuntu's privacy protections.

BrowserQuest Shows HTML5 Could Slay Flash
The Mozilla Foundation on Wednesday released BrowserQuest, a massively
multiplayer online game written in HTML5, JavaScript and other open
source languages. "BrowserQuest is a showcase of how open Web
technologies like HTML5, JavaScript, CSS and WebSockets can be used to
create a multiplayer game that scales up to thousands of users," said
Mozilla's Christian Heilmann.
