Podcast
The Wheat and the Chaff of Enterprise Apps (31:00 minutes)
Most enterprise modernization projects involve making a lot of decisions
about whether an asset is core or context. Core applications provide
true innovation and differentiation -- they're the ones that keep your
customers. Context applications are the ones that can and should be done
on the cheap. Keep in mind that what was core 10 years ago may not be
core anymore.

Today's Story Highlights

Sustainability Software, Part 1: It's Easy Being Green
As the decades-old "sustainability" movement goes mainstream, many
businesses are looking to software to make the eco-cause concept
functional -- and profitable -- for them. Companies are facing
accountability and responsibility demands regarding their roles in
rescuing humanity and saving planet Earth from global warming, climate
change, environmental degradation and the exhaustion of basic resources.

Fix May Revive PCs Plagued by Mysterious Black Screen of Death
Millions of Windows users could potentially be affected by a computer
glitch that results in a "black screen of death" after a security update
is made, UK security firm Prevx reported in a blog post. Users that are
affected log on to find there is no desktop, task bar, system tray or
side bar.

Need an App? Ask Your Creative Technologist
Digital advertising is evolving beyond the desktop computer, leaving
companies relying solely on Web sites and display advertising woefully
behind the eight ball. More and more, brands are relying on software
development to create engaging consumer experiences that span multiple
open platforms.

Dell Offers Unpolished Chrome OS for Mini Netbooks
Less than a week after Google released the code for its Chrome OS, Dell
announced that it has succeeded in getting the operating system up and
running on its Mini 10v netbook. A functioning USB key image file of the
resulting ChromiumOS build is now available on the Dell site.

A Guide for the HD Auteur on Your List
It's easier than ever to shoot high-definition video. You can do it with
traditional-style camcorders, of course, but also with cameras that also
are designed to take still photos -- from high-end digital SLRs to
cameras that slip into your shirt pocket. I've got recommendations in
all three categories -- listed here from least to most expensive.

Large Hadron Collider Shatters Energy Record
The Large Hadron Collider created by CERN, the European Organization for
Nuclear Research, officially became the world's highest-energy particle
accelerator on Monday. The enormous facility has sent two beams of
protons shooting through its ring at 1.18 teraelectronvolts.
