Podcast
The Cloud's Booming Potential for the Networked Economy (17:59 minutes)
The networked economy comes as a consequence of the major business and
IT trends of the day -- those being cloud computing, mobile, social and
big data -- according to Ariba CMO Tim Minahan. To appreciate the full
impact of the networked economy, we need to recognize how previously
internal processes are now becoming increasingly externalized.

Today's Story Highlights

You're No Phone of Mine: Carriers Agree to Disown Stolen Handsets
The Federal Communications Commission and five major U.S. wireless
providers have announced an initiative to create a database of stolen
mobile phones in an effort to combat smartphone theft. AT&T, Verizon
Wireless, T-Mobile, Sprint and Nex-Tech Wireless said they will not
reactivate phones that have been reported stolen.

Tweaks to Chrome OS Stir Up Existential Questions
A new version of Google's personal computer operating system, Chrome OS,
was released for developers Tuesday. It adds design elements of more
conventional offerings like Windows and OS X. The new Aura interface
includes a home screen with a task bar, or shelf, from which you can
launch applications.

How and Why Did 'Kony 2012' Go Viral Overnight?
By now, you've seen the "Kony 2012" video, or at least heard of it, and
you've heard the criticisms. And whether you are a supporter or a
detractor, you likely think the story's done, a passing fad lost already
to shortened news cycles, fickle Twitter trends, and Facebook app
archives. But that is not the case. Whether the newest chapters to the
"Kony 2012" story will vindicate the effort remains to be seen.

Russia Mulls Putting ISPs on the Hook for Piracy
Russia is considering holding ISPs responsible for unlawful file-
sharing. From Giga OM: "Reports in the local media say that the
country's Ministry of Internal Affairs is looking to bring in fresh laws
that would make service providers responsible for illegal file-sharing
between those using their networks."

qOrganizer Squares Away Everything but Its Own Interface
One of my biggest problems in managing appointments, to-do tasks, notes
and reminders is that I work on a variety of desktop and laptop
computers in multiple locations. To bridge the access gaps, I rely on a
tablet computer and a smartphone tapped into cloud storage.

Studybook Puts Intel Inside Classrooms
Intel on Tuesday announced the Studybook, a purpose-built tablet for
kids. The tablet runs the Intel Learning Series software suite as well
as the chip giant's Teacher PC Criteria for Ultrabook and Notebook
systems. The Studybook is a ruggedized device that will run Windows 7 or
Android on an Intel Atom Z650 processor.
