Podcast
The Infinitely Agile Cloud (31:27 minutes)
The cloud's potential is limited only by the imagination. Insurance
provider Seven Corners, for instance, has harnessed the flexibility of
the cloud to generate entirely new streams of revenue. "This year we
rolled out an application called 'Access' that is so configurable you
could run any kind of insurance services through it, whether you're
insuring parrots, cars, people, trucks or whatever," said CIO George Reed.

Today's Story Highlights

In the Lap of Luxury: Tesla's All-Electric Model S
This summer, Tesla is rolling out its luxury electric car, the Model S,
amid much acclaim. "The design and efficiency of the Model S are
unparalleled," said electric vehicle consultant Shannon Arvizu. "It's a
stunningly beautiful car that is incredibly affordable to operate and
has 'oh-my-god' wow performance. It's everything you could ever want in
a luxury vehicle."

Sen. Asks Google, Apple to Control Their Peeping Tom Planes
Google and Apple are bent on a mission to provide the world -- or at
least users of their respective technologies -- with digital images of
every place on this planet. Using their systems is the only way many
people can see for themselves what everyday life is like in faraway
places. However, these companies are capturing actual people as they go
about their everyday activities -- and publishing those images.

Blast From the Past: Using an Antenna to Grab Free TV
Bombarded by ads for cable and satellite TV packages, or seductive
programming bundles offered by Internet service providers and phone
companies, it may be easy to forget that it's possible to pick up much
of that programming via a sub-hundred dollar indoor antenna reminiscent
of the rabbit-ear days.

Court Cuts Samsung a Slice of Dutch Apple Pie
Today in international tech news: In the two companies' latest courtroom
spat, Apple has been ordered to pay damages to Samsung for infringing on
patents. Also: The Pirate Bay cofounders are seeking a hearing at a
human rights court; ESPN ups the ante for Wimbledon coverage; British
neo-Nazis tap into YouTube's revenue-sharing program and more.

Does Selfishness Make the FOSS World Go 'Round?
Well it's been a Linus-heavy month here in the Linux blogosphere, what
with Torvalds winning the Millennium Technology Prize and all, and even
now that trend appears to be continuing. The most recent conversation,
however, has focused on comments Linus made in the wake of his big win.

Microsoft's Pretty, Prosaic Thing
The newly announced -- but not yet available anywhere -- Microsoft
Surface tablet looks to be quite a cool device. Judging by the outside
design, it looks well-made and pleasing. That's a great start. It gets
better after a guy like me grudgingly appreciates the built-in, snap-off
keyboard covers.

Microsoft Joins Windows and WinPho at the Core
Microsoft on Wednesday announced a plethora of new features for app
developers in Windows Phone 8, its next mobile operating system. Windows
Phone 8 will share a core with Windows 8, meaning app devs can write one
app and have it run across mobile devices as well as desktops supporting
Windows 8.
