Podcast
The Shaky Dance of SOA and SaaS (31:00 minutes)
Service-oriented architecture's hype machine is winding down; meanwhile
cloud computing's is going strong. Is this a case of one having given
way to the other? How is the emergence of SOA and the cloud happening in
different places inside of enterprises? Shouldn't one hand get to
quickly know what the other is up to -- and perhaps even work together?

Today's Story Highlights

Corel's X3 Photo Editor Paints a Pretty Picture
In the Windows world, photographers looking for an alternative to Adobe
Photoshop that will save them cash without skimping on power typically
have turned to Corel's PaintShop Photo Pro. The program has consistently
kept pace with the evolving needs of shutterbugs over the years and the
latest "X3" version of the software continues that tradition.

Ubuntu Dumps the Brown
Color is not typically a topic of much discussion on the Linux blogs,
but in recent weeks, it's been drawing a lot of attention. Why, you ask?
Simple: Ubuntu recently announced a major change to its longstanding
"Human" earthtone-palette theme and branding. "I don't know whether to
call it 'poo brown' or 'dirt brown,' but either way it is seriously
awful," said Slashdot blogger hairyfeet.

Vlingo Faces Off With the Dragon: A Speech-to-Text Smackdown
When Apple enabled in-app purchases for iPhone applications, it seemed
as though the days of "free" and "paid" versions of any given app were
coming to an end. Soon, I thought, everything in the store would start
out free as a teaser and then charge for an upgrade. That hasn't exactly
panned out universally, but Vlingo's new voice application does charge
in the way I thought all apps would charge by now.

Microsoft's Patch Tuesday Party Gets Troublesome Surprise
This month's Patch Tuesday arrived with a rather unwelcome security
surprise. Microsoft had expected things to be somewhat sedate; however,
instead of two vulnerabilities that it expected needed patching, it got
hit with four, including a new zero-day Internet Explorer exploit.

Google Maps Out Happy Trails for Bicycle Riders
In a move sure to make the grade with cyclists across the United States,
Google on Wednesday added bicycle routes to its Google Maps service.
Biking directions and extensive bike trail data are now available for
the United States through Google Maps, giving cyclists nationwide a way
to customize their trips, figure out the most efficient routes, make use
of bike lanes and avoid big hills.
