Podcast
Open Source and the Cloud: Pay Dirt or Parasite? (53:39 minutes)
Does using open source software pay off in a total cost sense when
compared to commercial offerings today? Is it worth the usually lower
cost, or will an enterprise that casts its lot with FOSS be trapped in a
high-risk situation where they can't get support and innovation?

Story Highlights
------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------
1. Walking a Mile in Their Shoes: Vendor Security Questionnaires
------------------------------------------------------------

"Vendor security questionnaire" -- three innocuous-sounding words that
can leave security folks trembling. If you're in security -- no matter
what company you're with -- there's a good chance you know exactly what
I'm talking about, either because you've experienced firsthand the pain
of trying to vet the information security controls of the multitude of
third parties that your organization exchanges data with.

------------------------------------------------------------
2. Mac Enterprise Apps and the Evolution of Open Source
------------------------------------------------------------

It's no secret that Apple has dominated the headlines in computing over
the last several years, earning new devotees through consumer-aimed
offerings like the iPod, iTunes and the iPhone. Whether purposeful or
not, gradually or suddenly, Macs have now roared into the business
world.

------------------------------------------------------------
3. Can a Few Good Hackers Plug Holes in US' Swiss-Cheese Nets?
------------------------------------------------------------

Federal authorities aren't looking to prosecute them, but to pay them to
secure the nation's networks. General Dynamics Information Technology
put out an ad last month on behalf of the Homeland Security Department
seeking someone who could "think like the bad guy."

4. Mayo Launches HealthVault-Powered Patient Records Site
------------------------------------------------------------

The Mayo Clinic has combined its medical expertise with Microsoft's
technology in a free Web site launching Tuesday that will let people
store personal health and medical information. The "Mayo Clinic Health
Manager," as the site is called, is one of many emerging services for
so-called personal health records.

5. S. Korean Blogger Acquitted of Spreading Financial Falsehoods
------------------------------------------------------------

A popular South Korean blogger, who was initially touted as an economic
prophet for his dire predictions on the global economy, was cleared
Monday of spreading false information in a closely watched case that
sparked heated debate over freedom of speech in cyberspace. Park Dae-
sung, 30, an unemployed Seoul resident, was acquitted by the Seoul
Central District Court.

------------------------------------------------------------

President Barack Obama has rounded out his panel of high-tech advisors,
naming Aneesh Chopra, the state of Virginia's secretary of technology,
as the chief technology officer of the U.S. While not having the heft of
a cabinet-level appointment, the newly created position is still seen as
pivotal to many of the Obama administration's initiatives.

21 APR 2009 - Pace Wins Queen's Award for Enterprise in Innovation for
High Definition Set-Top Box Technology

Pace's second successive Queen's Award

Pace plc (pic.l), the leading independent developer of digital TV
technologies for the global payTV industry, is proud to announce it has
won a 2009 Queen's Award for Enterprise in Innovation, in recognition of
its pioneering work developing high definition set top box technology.
This is Pace's second successive Queen's Award, having won an
International Trade Award in 2008.

Neil Gaydon, Chief Executive Officer of Pace plc commented: "Winning a
Queen's Award for Innovation recognises Pace's leadership in the
development of high definition set-top box technology. We targeted the
global shift to high definition, working with some of the world's leading
payTV operators and solving complex technical challenges, which enabled us
to be first to market, ahead of our competitors, with new high definition
set-top box products. Our work has been based on sound business
principles, which when combined with the commitment and dedication of our
people has enabled us to demonstrate world-class innovation.

Neil continued: "High definition is a significant step change in how we
watch television and is seen as having the equivalent impact on a viewer's
TV experience as the move from black and white to colour had in the 20th
century. We established our high definition credentials in the US market
in 2002 and launched Europe's first high definition set-top boxes in 2006.
In 2008 we launched over 20 high definition products, a position unmatched
by any of our competitors."
Neil added: "The Pace business is going from strength to strength. Our
focus on continuous innovation and having the right products, at the right
time, to fuel the digital TV revolution has, and will continue to, deliver
excellent results."

Editor's Pick: Oracle Ropes In Sun for $7.4B

2009-04-20T16:02:00.001-07:00

Oracle Ropes In Sun for $7.4B

Richard Adhikari
04/20/09 12:22 PM PT

Two weeks after acquisition talks between IBM and Sun apparently fizzled and died, Oracle has swung in and snapped up the Java provider for $7.4 billion in cash. The move could change the landscape for major IT vendors, including HP, which months ago entered into a partnership with Oracle for server and database technologies.

1. Open Source and the Cloud: Pay Dirt or Parasite?
------------------------------------------------------------

The productivity and perils of open source software has been a topic
pretty much beaten to death. Yet the landscape in IT, as always, is
shifting -- because of the recession and because of a white-hot interest
in cloud computing. It's time again, then, to look at the pluses and
minuses of open source software models in the context of tight IT
budgets and the advent of cloud-based services for enterprises.

------------------------------------------------------------
2. Poised to Pounce on IPO: Q&A With SugarCRM CEO John Roberts
------------------------------------------------------------

Around the time when Software as a Service was pre-empting the on-
premise vendors, SugarCRM burst onto the CRM scene with its own
disruptive business mode: open source for CRM. The build-it-yourself
model wasn't for everybody, of course -- or so many thought at the time.
As SugarCRM continues to refine its code and product lineup, it is
attracting customers that once would have opted for a packaged or SaaS
product.

3. SAG Poised to Cut Its Losses Without Net Deal
------------------------------------------------------------

The Screen Actors Guild and the Hollywood studios said Friday they have
reached a tentative deal on movie and prime-time TV show productions,
capping a yearlong battle that ended with the Guild giving up its fight
for better Internet compensation. The Guild said its leaders would
recommend approval by the board and ratification by its members.

4. Turning Style-Minded Web Watchers Into Window Shoppers
------------------------------------------------------------

Inspiration comes in many forms, and in the case of James Everingham, it
appeared as a pair of knockoff Christian Dior shoes. Everingham's vision
ultimately became Pixazza, an online advertising startup that converts
photos on Web sites into interactive advertisements. Mouse over an
image, and tiny price tags appear over handbags, dresses and other
items.

------------------------------------------------------------
5. The Flourishing Fraud Economy
------------------------------------------------------------

One economy apparently isn't hurting these days -- the one run by
identity thieves in the dark corners of the Internet. Demand and prices
remain stable for stolen credit cards, Social Security numbers and other
private information, according to a new study by security software maker
Symantec.

6. Pirate Bay Swashbucklers Convicted in Swedish Court
------------------------------------------------------------

The music industry cheered as a Swedish court on Friday found the four
proprietors of The Pirate Bay guilty of copyright law violation. The
Pirate Bay is a torrent tracker site in Sweden that helps users find and
download files used to swap movies, music, TV shows, games, books and
software via BitTorrent file-sharing applications.

7. Google Lumbers In With Modest Q1 Growth
------------------------------------------------------------

It's telling when a company in this market registers growth yet still
comes under scrutiny because the growth wasn't as high as previous
years. Then again, this is Google we're talking about -- the uber-
corporation of the Web with seemingly limitless potential and promise.
It still has both, of course.

Story Highlights
------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------
1. Twitter and the Future of Discourse, Part 2
------------------------------------------------------------

In a bear market, nearly everyone is willing to put up with a little
bull. Twitter is certainly full of it, in the form of mundane drivel,
yet everyone seems to be touting it as the river of gold. "Twitter has a
lot of pros, but something this effective and free has very little
cons," Lon Safko, coauthor of John Wiley's upcoming The Social Media
Bible, told TechNewsWorld.

2. The Death and Rebirth of Silicon Valley
------------------------------------------------------------

I was in Malta last week at the IFA 2009 conference, which is partially
intended to drive interest into Malta as a technology center. This is
one of the locations where people believe a new Silicon Valley might be
born, and that certainly focuses us on the fact that the current Silicon
Valley isn't what it once was.

------------------------------------------------------------
3. Now Software and the Mac/PC Office: Diversity in the Workplace
------------------------------------------------------------

While it's always nice to be the first mover in a market, there's some
satisfaction in grinding it out in a niche and watching a market move
into your wheelhouse. That seems to be the case with Now Software. The
Columbus, Ohio, maker of contact and calendar software is poised to take
advantage of two burgeoning trends: information sharing and the
increased presence of Macintosh computers on business networks.

------------------------------------------------------------
4. College Police Target Linux User; Bloggers Up in Arms
------------------------------------------------------------

Mention "Linux" and "police" in the same sentence, and you're pretty
sure to get bloggers' attention. Mention them in such a way as to
suggest that Linux was a motivating factor behind a police
investigation, and you're likely to have a virtual riot on your hands.
Sure enough, that's exactly what has been going on in the Linux
blogosphere over the past few days.

5. Mobile Digital TV to Premier in DC This Summer
------------------------------------------------------------

Washington will be the first U.S. city to get free digital TV broadcasts
for mobile devices like cell phones, laptop computers and in-car
entertainment systems, broadcasters announced Monday. Broadcasts using
new "mobile DTV" technology are expected to begin in late summer from
five stations: local affiliates of CBS, NBC, PBS and Ion, and one
independent station owned by Fox.

------------------------------------------------------------
6. The BlackBerry App Store: It's a Small, Small World
------------------------------------------------------------

I'm typing this in between perusing Facebook, trying to master a guitar-
simulation game and listening to Internet radio on my smartphone. And
no, I'm not using an iPhone. I'm using a BlackBerry Curve 8900 to try
out the recently rolled out BlackBerry App World. Lately, any smartphone
maker worth its salt is operating or about to launch an application
store.

------------------------------------------------------------
7. Video Games and the Summer Blockbuster Stigma
------------------------------------------------------------

Video games based on blockbuster movies typically get panned, yet
shamelessly benefit from the buzz of their film inspirations. However,
the developers of this summer's movie games are more intent than ever on
transforming gamers' groans into grins. "Movie games have a bad
history," said Jeff Poffenbarger, senior producer at "X-Men Origins:
Wolverine" game developer Raven Software.

------------------------------------------------------------
8. YouTube Builds New Pipes for TV Shows, Movies
------------------------------------------------------------

YouTube's path from a loose, rowdy, anything-goes video destination to a
more well-organized and advertiser-friendly Web site took a giant step
Thursday with the addition of TV shows and movies, courtesy of new deals
with Hollywood studios. That step could actually be considered a light-
years leap for YouTube.

Pirate Bay Swashbucklers Convicted in Swedish Court

Richard Adhikari
04/17/09 11:59 AM PT

The four men behind The Pirate Bay have been found guilty of copyright law violations. They face a year in jail and millions in fines, though they plan to appeal. The entertainment industry has cheered, but questions remain about what sort of precedent the case may set. The Pirate Bay does not host copyrighted material; it provides links that can be used to facilitate the violation of copyrights.
