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

Buffalo Debuts Speed Freak WiFi Router
Buffalo Tech on Monday became the first on the market with wireless
products touting 802.11ac WiFi, also known as "5G WiFi." These are its
AirStation WZR-D1800H wireless router and WLI-H4-D1300 wireless media
bridge. They purportedly offer speeds up to three times faster than
802.11n, and they are backward compatible with 802.11a, b, g and n.

FBI Sounds Alarm on Hotel WiFi Caper
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has warned overseas travelers
to be careful when using hotel WiFi networks. "Recent analysis
from the FBI and other government agencies demonstrates that malicious
actors are targeting travelers abroad through pop-up windows while
establishing an Internet connection in their hotel rooms," a bulletin
from the Internet Crime Complaint Center said last week.

Facebook's Face-Melting Fast European Network
Today in international tech news: Ahead of its upcoming IPO, Facebook
taps a Swedish telecommunications company to build and operate a massive
pan-European optical network. Elsewhere, Change.org launches a UK
platform, Apple decides to drop "4G" from the third-generation iPad, and
Facebook cofounder Eduardo Saverin renounces his U.S. citizenship.

Pulling a Zuckerberg, or How to Kill a $100B IPO
Last week was rather quiet except for the increasing drama surrounding
Facebook and what was to be their $100B IPO. It could still be, but
thanks to its young, inexperienced, and clearly still-maturing CEO, it
found itself digging out of an avoidable hole. Its experienced executive
team was by all reports doing a terrific job until Zuckerberg decided to
show up at an IPO pitch in a hoodie.

Windows RT and the Dastardly Browser-Exclusion Deed
Life is never dull here in the world of technology, but some weeks it's
hard to remember that this is actually the real world, and not some epic
tale of the battle between good and evil. We've seen plenty of examples
of good pulling ahead in the struggle in recent weeks, of course -- but
there's never any shortage of dastardly deeds being committed, either.

SynchroCam Sorely Disappoints
I very much prefer to write reviews only of apps and products that I
appreciate, that I find useful, interesting, or just plain awesome. This
is not one of those reviews. And the app? It's not one of those apps,
either. The makers of some products sometimes try hard to make them
appear to be things they really are not.

Mozilla and Google ARMwrestle Microsoft
Mozilla and Google are challenging Microsoft's decision to shut out all
browsers other than Internet Explorer from Windows 8 devices that use
ARM processors. This restricts user choice, reduces competition, chills
innovation, and might have antitrust implications, among other bad
things, Mozilla general counsel Harvey Anderson asserted.

iTV: Not If but What
Terry Gou, chief of Foxconn, has confirmed that Apple has an iTV in the
works. The news, which instantly sent the consumer electronics industry
into a tizzy, came in an article focused on the company's plans to
expand into e-commerce and distribution. Yes, an iTV is coming,
according to Gou, who dropped a few details about the product, even
though neither development nor manufacturing has begun.
