Podcast
Data Management: The Next Generation (39:55 minutes)
What the data management world needs now is a next-generation,
integrated and simplified approach for fast backup and recovery that
spans all essential corporate data. The solution means bridging legacy
and new data, scaling to handle big data, implementing automation and
governance, and integrating the functions of backup protection and
disaster recovery.

Today's Story Highlights
Sony Charges Into Smartphone Scene With Xperia Ion
Sony has launched its first Xperia smartphone since buying out Ericsson
in February. The Xperia Ion is a 4G LTE device that will be available
from AT&T June 24 for $100 with a two-year agreement. The Ion has a 4.6-
inch 1080p HD Reality Display powered by Sony's Mobile Bravia Engine and
can be hooked up to a TV set or a Sony SmartWatch.

Liberating Your Locked GSM Phone
Wireless carriers sell you "postpaid" contract phones at a considerable
discount. The carrier expects to recoup its outlay -- the full price of
the equipment -- over the life of the contract that you sign. Often, it
will lock the equipment to its network through a technique that stops
the phone working if the SIM card ID and the phone serial number, aka
"IMEI number," don't match what's configured.

German Stream King Headed to Slammer
Today in international tech news: The founder of an uberpopular German
streaming website has been sentenced to more than four years in prison.
Elsewhere, Nokia announced layoffs to the tune of 10,000 jobs, and the
English Premier League auctioned off broadcast rights with an eye toward
mobile devices, tablets and Internet-connected TVs.

Linus, GNOME 3, and Much Ado About Desktop Interfaces
If ever there was a week to make a person believe in the cosmic forces
of fate, this might be it. To wit: Linus Torvalds -- always a topic of
interest here in the Linux blogosphere -- has been a particularly "hot
topic" in recent weeks thanks to his critical comments earlier this
month about GNOME 3.

The New MacBook Pro Aims for the Heart, Not the Head
With a heavy heart, I have decided not to the buy the gorgeous new
MacBook Pro with Retina Display. But I lust after the idea of 2,880 by
1,800 pixels gloriously showing off my awesome photos of the Grand
Tetons, Half Dome and small children running from the cold droplets of a
sprinkler system under a hot summer sun.
