Podcast
Transforming an Enterprise From Sluggish to Sleek (33:33)
"You end up spending less money, because you're a more efficient
organization, and you end up delivering better value to customers,
because you're a more effective organization," said Huge Evans, CEO of
Enterprise Architects. "This efficiency and effectiveness need within
organizations is worth the price of investment in this area. The actual
tangible benefits that we're seeing across our customers includes
reduced cost of their IT estate. "

Buggy Install, No Support Take the Lead Out of Pencil
Pencil is an advanced drawing and animation tool that creates
traditional, hand-drawn 2D animations and static sketches. Think of this
animation/drawing application as an Etch A Sketch with colored sand on
steroids. Pencil creates both bitmap and vector images. Finished
animations can be exported as PNG images. Animated sketches can be
exported in several handy Flash or Movie file formats.

IBM Builds Traffic Cop for Internet of Things
IBM on Monday launched MessageSight, an appliance designed to handle

will develop exponentially to create what's known as the "Internet of
Things." In announcing MessageSight, IBM cited a 2010 report that
predicted more than 22 billion Web-connected devices by 2020, which will
generate more than 2.5 quintillion bytes of new data daily.

computing. What raised more eyebrows, though, was Heins' prediction that
in five years, tablets might be out.
