Podcast
Disaster Recovery: Learning From Painful Experience (31:45 minutes)
Sometimes the only way you know whether your disaster recovery plan is
any good is when you face a real disaster. After 2008's Hurricane Ike
hit, insurance wholesaler Myron Steves & Co. had a difficult time
getting its systems back on track just when customers needed the
company's help the most. That motivated its IT team to set the stage for
a faster, cheaper and more robust DR capability.

Today's Story Highlights

Online Storage: Pick a Cloud, Any Cloud
With the launch of Google Drive on Tuesday, the number of cloud storage
service options for consumers has become bewildering. Players include
Google with Google Drive, Windows Live SkyDrive, iCloud, Dropbox,
YouSendIt, SpiderOak, SugarSync, Box.net, Amazon Cloud Drive and Ubuntu
One. On a basic level, they all offer similar services.

Cleaning Up With High-Tech Housekeeping Tools
Marla Cilley, aka the FlyLady, knows a thing or two about housecleaning.
One of those things is that it's hard to get motivated to do it. To
address this problem, she created an empire around inspiring others to
step up their housecleaning game. "We do behavior modification through
email, Facebook and Twitter, and that behavior modification helps our
members establish simple habits and string them into a routine," said
Cilley.

Google Drive Hits China's Wall
Today in international tech news: Google Drive is "dead in the water" in
China. Meanwhile, a soap opera is unfolding in South Korea, where
there's a feud between the chairman of Samsung and family members who
want a bigger piece of the company's fortune. Elsewhere, Twitter plays a
central, and unfortunate, role in an English court case.

Advanced Easy Editor Goes Bare Bones, Then Breaks Out the Sandpaper
Sometimes too much of a good thing in free software can create bad
impressions. For instance, some of the free stuff so easily available in
Linux distro package managers is so archaic that newcomers to the OS
might understandably shriek in horror. Don't get me wrong. I absolutely
am a big fan of FOSS applications.

Asteroid Miners May Set the Stage for Space Colonization
On Tuesday, the founders of Planetary Resources held a press conference
at the Museum of Flight in Seattle to announce a new megamillion-dollar
plan to use commercially built robotic ships to travel to the asteroid
belt to mine for valuable minerals including platinum and gold. "As we
move beyond the bounds of Earth to a universe that is full of resources,
we can finally bring those materials back to Earth," said speaker Peter
Diamandis, cofounder of Planetary Resources.

Google Drive Kicks Into Gear
Google on Tuesday unveiled Google Drive, its long-anticipated storage
locker in the cloud. The service incorporates Google Docs and lets users
upload, access and share their files, including videos, photos and PDFs.
Google Drive works on Macs and PCs, and an Android app is available. An
iOS app is in the works.
