Podcast
Security and the Cloud: The Great Reconciliation (50:06 minutes)
Security is often regarded as a drag on cloud adoption -- a necessary
but complex chore that must be dealt with. However, if you understand
the security risk, gain a detailed understanding of your own
infrastructure, and follow proven reference architectures and methods,
security can move from an inhibitor of cloud adoption to an enabler.

Today's Story Highlights

Lenovo Shoots for Sexy With Svelt, Sleek Portables

government agencies, educational institutions and large corporations.

Windows 8 Browser Brouhaha Draws Regulator Attention
The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee plans to examine allegations that
Microsoft is giving its own Internet Explorer Web browser preferential
treatment over competing Web browsers in a version of its upcoming
Windows 8 operating system. "This is a preliminary inquiry," said Lynn
Becker, communications director for Sen. Herb Kohl. Kohl is a member
of the Judiciary Committee.

Iron-Eating Bacteria: Coming Soon to a Hard Drive Near You?
Today's hard drives may be smaller, faster, cheaper and more capacious
than their predecessors, but the need for ever-tinier components is
making it difficult to keep improving them. Therein lies at least part
of the motivation behind biocomputing -- in which microscopic biological
molecules are being recruited to play a role -- and recently scientists
have identified a fresh new possibility in this area.

Code Clues Reheat Google Tablet Rumors
Murmurs about Google's supposed plans to launch its own tablet soon are
growing to a roar. Source code from Google and Samsung indicate that a
Nexus tablet is in the works, Slashgear reported. "It seems logical that
it will be a Google Nexus device consistent with the Nexus smartphone,
but the problem is there's nothing unique about the Nexus smartphone,"
suggested Andrew Eisner, director of community and content at Retrevo.

MenuTab Keeps Facebook Nicely Widgetized
Facebook's march toward its IPO has put a harsh spotlight on the social
network's shortcomings, and one of the primary worries among prospective
investors is that Facebook doesn't have very sharp mobile chops. There
are a million things it could be doing in mobile to draw in more
revenue, they say, but it's still an area in which the network moves
painfully slowly.
