It seemed like every couple of weeks one vendor or another in the public cloud IaaS market was dropping their prices. When one company did it, others seemed to follow suit within days, and sometimes even hours. It's been a back and forth, cat and mouse game. Who can keep the lowest prices?To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE New products of the week 08.18.2014 Our roundup of intriguing new products from companies such as Juniper and SilverPeak Networks READ MORE WHITE PAPER: IBM Forrester 2014 Dynamic Case Management Wave Forrester has released its 2014 Dynamic Case Management Wave, and for the second consecutive time, IBM is a leader. View Now>> Hackers steal data on 4.5 million US hospital patients A major U.S. hospital operator says hackers based in China broke into its computer systems and stole data on 4.5 million patients.Community Health Systems said the attack occurred in April and June of this year, but it wasn't until July that it determined the theft had taken place.Working with a computer security company, it determined the attack was carried out by a group based in China that used "highly sophisticated malware" to attack its systems. It didn't release specific details of the attack."The attacker was able to bypass the company's security measures and successfully copy and transfer certain data outside the company," it said in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE INSIDER CIOs reveal their must-have mobile apps For many of us, mobile apps have become a way of life.

Specifically, in fourth-quarter 2013, this population spent 30 hours, 15 minutes using apps, which is a half-day more than the 18 hours, 18 minutes they spent in fourth-quarter 2011. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here(Insider Story) READ MORE 49ers kick off dazzling high-tech stadium I have seen the future of technology in spectator sports, and it's coming on line in the San Francisco Bay Area.  Levi's Stadium, the brand spanking new home of the San Francisco 49ers, isn't actually in San Francisco. It's located 50 miles south of the city, in Santa Clara, the heart of Silicon Valley. I had the opportunity to attend the very first (preseason) football game at the technology-drenched new venue on Sunday, and all the new services, screens, and gadgets really do change the experience of attending a sporting event. But not always in the ways you'd expect.  The new, new thing in stadium techBefore I go into detail on what I saw and how it worked, it's important to remember that this was the debut of a brand new facility, so some hiccups are to be expected. And it was a preseason game, where many of the 68,000 fans—including me—came to check out the stadium as much as to watch the action on the field.

Just days after postponing the launch of its high-end Tizen phone, Samsung has scuttled the device all together, which begs the question of how long the Tizen OS itself has.  Tizen is Samsung's Linux-based OS for smartphones. Samsung has made no secret of its desire to get out from under Google's thumb and has spent the last two years working on Tizen. But as it was preparing to launch the Samsung Z, a high-end phone running Tizen, in Russia, Samsung postponed the launch, saying it wanted to "enhance the Tizen ecosystem."To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE WHITE PAPER: Citrix Best practices in choosing and implementing EMM Mobility and security specialists are carefully considering enterprise mobility management solutions.
