Disaster Recovery: Learning From Painful Experience (31:45 minutes)
------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes the only way you know whether your disaster recovery plan is
any good is when you face a real disaster. After 2008's Hurricane Ike
hit, insurance wholesaler Myron Steves & Co. had a difficult time
getting its systems back on track just when customers needed the
company's help the most. That motivated its IT team to set the stage for
a faster, cheaper and more robust DR capability.

2. The Lighter Side of IT Consumerization
------------------------------------------------------------
You've probably heard the term "consumerization of IT." Some of the
network and security pros reading this probably think this is yet
another meaningless industry buzzword with little or no value. However,
to dismiss it as such is to potentially miss out on what is both a very
powerful concept ... and one that information security practitioners
ignore at their peril.

4. Soulcaliber: A Beautiful Mashy-Slashy Mess
------------------------------------------------------------
Action games can be tricky to pull off on iOS. Everything's done through
a touchscreen, so you don't have as much tactile feedback -- there are
no buttons under your fingertips to let you feel exactly where you need
to touch at precisely the right moment, while your eyes are busy with
the screen.

5. Intel Aims to Bridge GPU Gap
------------------------------------------------------------
Intel's highly anticipated Ivy Bridge chips, which offer the promise of
significant improvements in speed and power usage along with support for
USB 3.0, were officially launched on Monday. The first wave of these new
chips, which offer a smaller package compared to Intel's current Sandy
Bridge chips, will include 13 quad core processors. These new chips are
the first to use Intel's new 22-nanometer manufacturing process and
feature its new tri-gate technology.
