Turning the BYOD Lemons Into Lemonade (38:20)
The recent and rapid evolution of mobile and client management
requirements has caused considerable complexity and confusion.
Incomplete solutions and a lack of a clear pan-client strategy have
hampered the move to broader mobile support at enterprises and mid-
market companies alike. This state of muddled direction has put IT in a
bind while frustrating users.

Today's Story Highlights
LG Bets on WebOS for New Smart TV Line
LG Electronics has revived the webOS operating system for its latest
line of smart TVs, the company announced on Monday. In fact, LG will use
webOS on more than 70 percent of its smart TV lineup this year, the
company said. "The beauty of webOS is that it provides so much freedom
and is so simple to use," said In-kyu Lee, senior vice president and
head of the company's TV division.

Malicious Ads Infect Thousands of European Yahoo Users
Certain advertisements on Yahoo's European website may have helped
infect thousands of computers with malware. A Dutch computer security
firm, Fox-IT, outed Yahoo last Friday, penning a blog post claiming that
attackers had used ads.yahoo.com to insert malicious ads. Fox-IT was
apparently on to something, because on Sunday, Yahoo admitted to hosting
ads that didn't "meet our editorial guidelines."

Retiring in Sanctuary Belize: Tarnished Dreams
I've been executing on a long-term dream of retiring in Belize. I've
been putting some rigor into the effort to make sure the perception of
the dream doesn't outpace reality. I've often been brought in on
projects that should have been shut down early, largely because
executive staff had lost track of reality. I don't want to make the same
mistake with this important project.

Here's Lookin' at You, Kid: Dreaming of Privacy in 2014
Well another year has come and gone here in the Linux blogosphere, and
what a different world it is as we enter 2014. Certainly most notably,
our friends at the NSA have made it clear that any notions of privacy
have pretty much gone out the window. Go Tor! Speaking of Windows, XP's
final days are now finally being counted down. Cheers to that!

Outline Sings Dandy OneNote Duet
Note-taking applications are very popular with many users, and that's
probably why developers have flooded Apple's Mac App Store with those
kinds of programs. A notable exception, though, has been Microsoft.
That's not to say it has ignored the thirst of note-takers -- it makes a
robust outline-notepad hybrid called OneNote. The thing is, it doesn't
make it for the Mac.

Eye-Controlled Gaming May Be Closer Than It Appears
One of the biggest bugbears for gamers has long been the need to use a
joystick to both track a target and control the motion of their avatar
or weapons, but at International CES 2014 next week, Tobii Technology
will demonstrate a new solution. Tobii has teamed up with SteelSeries,
the companies announced Friday, to produce what they claim will be the
first mass-market eye tracking peripheral for gamers.

All Things Appy: Top 5 Cloud Storage Apps for Windows 8
Cloud storage is a fast-moving arena, with advancements including the
ability to store files and folders in the cloud along with metadata on
your PC replicating the actual file. The file isn't there and isn't
taking up space, but you can see relevant attributes. Other cloud
techniques include the ability to sync files only as you need them.

Setup's Sharp Edges Don't Mar TinCan's Network-Free Potential
One lesson that's easy to learn if you've been through any natural
disaster is that you shouldn't rely on classic means of communications
like land lines, cellphones or Internet. Capacity gets challenged;
infrastructure gets destroyed. Where I live, neighbors have developed
ham radio-based communications plans geared solely towards communicating
in a disaster.
