Podcast
Burning Rubber on the Road to Virtualization (11:27 minutes)
Motorcycle maker Ducati has virtualized nearly all its servers, having
gone full-throttle for virtualization in a relatively short period of
time. "Given the targets we would face in just three to four years, it
was absolutely a necessity to move quickly into virtualization to enable
all the other products," said CIO Daniel Bellini.

Korean Antitrusters Put US Tech Heavies Under the Microscope
The Fair Trade Commission, a Korean antitrust agency, has launched an
investigation into the Korean units of HP, Oracle and IBM. The
commission's investigation stems from alleged unfair business practices.
From The Korea Times : "Investigators of the Fair Trade Commission
raided HP's Seoul office Friday, officials said. They took computer
records and documents and questioned employees over their suspicions."

Harmony Link Makes the iPad a Less-Than-Ideal Remote
There are several apps for iOS that can turn your iPad or iPhone into a
remote control. Most of these are special-purpose apps -- they control
just one device. Whether the app controls your DVR like Xfinity's
application, your PC's cursor or iTunes, you're hooked up to a single
device, usually through WiFi.

Mac Malware Strikes Again With SabPub Trojan
Two more related Trojan exploits that target Macs have been discovered.
They appear to be two versions of the SabPub information-stealing
Trojan, discovered by antivirus software vendor Kaspersky last weekend.
They have existed undetected in the wild for two months, according to
Kaspersky's Costin Raiu.
