Podcast
Getting What You Want From ERP in the Cloud (9:39 minutes)
"Probably one of the biggest wins for us has been just driving
compliance against our contracts," said Brooke Krenn, whose company, Cox
Enterprises, recently moved to a cloud-based ERP system. "We're able to
see very easily now when a location or a business unit ... is purchasing
off-contract or when they're not utilizing one of our preferred or
negotiated suppliers."

Today's Story Highlights

Symantec on the Move With Enterprise Security
Antivirus vendor Symantec has announced enhancements to its enterprise
mobile security product. These include capabilities for mobile
application management, data loss prevention, certificate management and
code signing for devs. The features will help IT cope with the
burgeoning Bring Your Own Device trend, which has employees increasingly
using their personal mobile devices for work, Symantec said.

mHealth Looks Rosy at CTIA
The future of the mHealth space is, in a word, "growth," which is
exemplified at this week's International CTIA Wireless 2012 trade show.
Several companies are presenting their wares in the Wireless Health
Pavilion, with innovations that allow consumers to monitor health
remotely, track daily habits, manage health records, track inventory,
and support physical wellness.

DHS Sounds Alarm on Gas Line Cyberthreat
For months, the nation's natural gas pipeline industry has been under
persistent cyberattack from unknown parties, the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security revealed this week. The DHS has been working since
March 2012 with critical infrastructure owners and operators in the oil
and natural gas sector to address a series of intrusions targeting
natural gas pipeline companies.

The Australian Pol Who Hates 'Likes'
Today in international tech news: An Australian politician threatens to
contact employers of people who "Liked" a satirical article about him,
and then denies it. Elsewhere, the U.S. and China team up on
cybersecurity, Anonymous goes after a British ISP to protest the Pirate
Bay ban, and China's Proview loses a copyright claim against Apple.

Brain-Scanning Bot Maps Minds at Warp Speed
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Georgia
Tech have automated the process of finding and recording information
from cells in living brains. "Autopatching makes recording the
electrical and circuit properties [of cells] straightforward and
effortless for the operator," said Craig Forest, one of the members of
the research team.

Precise Pangolin: Ubuntu Grows Up
The latest edition of Canonical's Ubuntu 12.04 desktop operating system
shows considerable maturity. Precise Pangolin is built around the
default Unity interface with an optional Heads Up Display designed to
keep hands on the keys rather than constantly interrupting the work flow
by grabbing the mouse.

Genachowski Promises Spectrum Solutions
Returning to New Orleans for the first time since the Big Easy was
devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the International CTIA Wireless
2012 trade show kicked off with a unified call for more spectrum. "Like
New Orleans, we are moving forward," said Steve Largent, president and
CEO of CTIA-The Wireless Association, in Tuesday's opening keynote
addresses.

Google Takes an Autonomous Road Trip Through Nevada
Snap divorces, slot machines and Elvis impersonators are so yesterday in
Nevada -- the state on Tuesday issued Google the first autonomous
vehicle testing license in the United States. Google can now officially
take its driverless cars for a spin in the state. However, the
driverless vehicles will require one person behind the wheel and another
riding shotgun in the front passenger seat.
