Podcast
Rebooting IT to Run Like a Business (28:30)
It's one thing to employ enterprise resource planning to streamline an
entire organization's business processes -- to use software and data to
create a more efficient flow of information between different
departments. However, what about applying ERP to an individual
information technology department within that organization? What
benefits could be achieved? A possible outcome is that an IT operation
is run more like a separate business.

Today's Story Highlights

All Things Appy: 5 Best Android News Apps
With the unexpected news that Google's RSS feed reader, Google Reader,
is being put out to pasture, many users are scrambling to find new tools
for news consumption. There are still plenty of excellent free news apps
out there, and here's a look at the top five available for the Android
platform. Google Currents is a pretty, magazine-like aggregator with a
true offline solution that works well in airplane mode.

North Korea's 3G Experiment Might Be Over
North Korea's Internet liberation has hit a snag -- it's still North
Korea. One month after announcing that it would grant tourists and
visitors 3G Internet access, North Korea appears to have revoked its 3G
services. Tourists reportedly no longer have 3G access. There is a
chance that the 3G service is merely busted, but given North Korea's
history, the consensus at the moment is that the plug has been pulled.

Speedy Synapse Fires Up Searches and Launches
Synapse is a desktop utility that adds speed and convenience to finding
files and launching applications. It does not eliminate the Linux
distro's menu, favorites bar or panel icons. Instead, it cuts down on
how often you resort to using them. A semantic-based tool that makes use
of the Zeitgeist engine, Synapse is a graphical launcher that pops up
when you call it with the Control-Space key combination.

Google+ App Updates Focus on Photos, Tweak Text
Google has made another bid in its attempt at social media relevancy
with the launch of iOS and Android updates for Google+. The revamped
apps have improvements in four areas -- photos, posts, profiles and
communities. "Everybody wants to share whatever they're doing whenever
they're doing it, and mobile is the place to be," said Andrew Eisner,
director of community and content at Retrevo.

888's Nevada License Could Usher In New Era of Online Gambling
888 Holdings announced last week that it had become the first Internet
gambling company to be awarded a license to operate in the U.S.,
possibly opening the door to further online betting opportunities in the
States. With its new license, granted by the Nevada Gaming Commission,
888 could launch an online gambling offering in the state.
