Enterprise Security: New Weapons for a New War (32:03 minutes)
"I've often argued that a lot of what we are doing in security today is
fighting the last war, as opposed to fighting the current war," said
Dell's Jim Stikeleather. However, new techniques and capabilities are on
the horizon. Look for more heavily integrated, systemic approaches. "The
starting point is really architecture."

Today's Story Highlights

E-Commerce Growing, but Many Consumers Still Don't Get It
E-commerce is growing, but it's no longer on fire. Forrester Research
released two new forecast reports on Monday. The reports project online
retail in the U.S. and Europe will grow at a rate of 10 percent per year
from 2010 to 2015. The report expects 2015 online retail to reach US$279
billion in the U.S. and 134 billion euros in Europe.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/71970.html

Google Tapes Up Gmail Sprain
Google says it has restored email access to some Gmail users who lost it
over the weekend. "We're still working fast and furious to restore
account access," Google spokesperson Jessica Kositz told TechNewsWorld.
Google said 0.02 percent of Gmail users were impacted, but Kositz once
again declined to state how many users its email service has.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/71969.html

White House Asks for $1B Boost in Federal IT Budget
Despite the national effort to cut government spending, expenditures for
information technology at the federal level will actually go up in
fiscal 2012 compared with 2011. That's good news for vendors. Federal
agencies will spend about $79.5 billion on information technology in
fiscal 2012, which begins Oct. 1, according to the Obama
administration's proposed budget.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/71962.html

Chance Favors the Prepared Mind: The Science of Sales Intel
In the Aberdeen benchmark report "Sales Intelligence: Preparing for
Smarter Selling," the research among 528 end-user sales organizations
revealed that the most frequently used delivery models for sales
intelligence were limited to remarkably traditional, if not predictable,
applications: email, search engines, CRM/SFA tools and spreadsheets.
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/71959.html

Gmail Meltdown Casts Shadow on the Cloud
Hundreds of thousands of Gmail users woke up Monday to find their emails
had vanished and they had lost their contacts. Initial estimates put the
number of people affected at between 150,000 and 500,000. Google's
support forums are inundated with messages from angry users. The
Internet giant indicates on its Apps Status Dashboard that service has
been disrupted for Gmail, but that no other Google apps are affected.

Today's Story Highlights

Facebook Likes Likes, Like, Even More
Facebook has tweaked the function of its so-called Like button, think
link users click to register approval or support of various messages,
posts and profiles on the social networking site. As it stands now, when
you are on Facebook and decide to "Like" something, the only thing that
happens is you get added to that external page's "Like" list, and a
small blurb gets posted to your Wall.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/71966.html

Is P2P Encryption Secure? That Depends...
In the wake of the highly publicized payment card security breaches of
the past few years, point-to-point encryption has emerged as a
frontrunner in the search for a stronger defense against data
compromise. The technology is also being touted as a solution to limit
the scope -- and therefore the expense -- of complying with the Payment
Card Industry Data Security Standard.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/71963.html

Powered by Linux
How many out there use Linux? I bet if I asked 100 people, less than 10
percent would say yes. To be fair, people think in terms of computers,
laptops, netbooks, and desktops, and that demographic is 90 percent
Windows, 90 percent Microsoft-centric. But computers and OSes that power
them permeate all aspects of our lives today.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/71964.html

Camera+: Meet Your New Go-To Cam App
The iOS App Store is not wanting for camera software. Photography is a
top-level category, and at the time I'm writing this, it contains 3,670
apps. Some give you new and interesting stillcam functions, some augment
video capture, others are photo-editing applications. The problem is,
too many of them are one-trick ponies.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/71957.html

SocialEyes Lets Facebook Friends Chat Hollywood Squares-Style
Rob Glaser -- founder, chair and former CEO of RealNetworks -- hopes all
eyes will soon be on an app developed by his new company, SocialEyes,
which is designed to bring video chat to Facebook. Like all social media
services, SocialEyes can be used both publicly, for groups organized
around common interests, and privately -- but this time the experience
is not about static text and pictures.
