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. "

Today's Story Highlights

Facebook's New Security Feature Puts Friends First
Have you forgotten or lost your Facebook password? Relax. You can now
turn to friends for help. Facebook on Thursday rolled out Trusted
Contacts account recovery, a feature it has tested with a limited number
of people as the Trusted Friends capability since 2011. Users can select
three to five trusted contacts from their security settings.

iOS7 Will Be Flat by Design
Compared to recent Apple announcements, the secrecy surrounding the next
release of the company's mobile operating system, iOS 7, has almost been
hermetic. There have been reports of improvements in email and calendar
apps, as well as a possible expansion of the operating system's gesture
library so it will match Apple's OS X products.

Adobe Photoshop Touch Is Almost Picture Perfect
With tablets possibly on track to overtake PCs within a few years, one
might wonder just how that's going to happen. Can tablets really perform
as well as PCs in professional environments? I for one am still
unpacking my laptop when it comes to power applications like imaging.
Well, Adobe claims it now delivers its core Adobe Photoshop
functionality in an app for Android tablets.

ESEA Users' Systems Plundered in Bitcoin Mining Scam
The E-Sports Entertainment Association on Wednesday admitted that users'
graphic cards had been hijacked to mine Bitcoin virtual currency. The
mining was surreptitiously set in motion by a rogue employee without the
knowledge of other ESEA staff or users of the network. ESEA is known for
anti-cheat software and systems that allow players to compete in online
matches.
