Sony Ivy Bridge Core i5 13" Touchscreen Ultrabook for $700 + free shipping
Sony Ivy Bridge Core i5 13" Touchscreen Ultrabook for $700 + free shipping Microsoft Buys CiS Solutions Provider StorSimple
Microsoft Buys CiS Solutions Provider StorSimple:
Microsoft is acquiring Cloud-integrated Storage (CiS) solutions provider StorSimple. Microsoft says the pick-up will advance its Cloud OS vision and help customers embrace hybrid cloud computing more efficiently.
“Customers faced with explosive growth in data are looking to the cloud to help them store, manage and archive that data. But, to be effective, cloud storage needs to integrate with IT’s current investments,” said Michael Park, corporate vice president, Server and Tools Division for Microsoft. “StorSimple’s approach helps customers seamlessly integrate on-premises storage with cloud storage through intelligent automation and management.”
Park spoke further about the announcement on the Windows Azure blog, where he notes, “CiS is a rapidly emerging category of storage solutions that consolidate the management of primary data, backup disaster recovery and archival data, and deliver seamless integration between on premise and cloud environments. This seamless integration and orchestration enables new levels of speed, simplicity and reliability for backup and disaster recovery (DR) while reducing costs for both primary data and data protection.”
“You may have heard us talk about the ‘Cloud OS’ over the last few months – the Cloud OS is our vision to deliver a consistent, intelligent and automated platform of compute, network and storage across a company’s datacenter, a service provider’s datacenter and the Windows Azure public cloud,” he notes. “With Windows Server 2012 and Windows Azure at its core, and System Center 2012 providing automation, orchestration and management capabilities, the Cloud OS helps customers transform their data centers for the future.”
StorSimple CEO had this to say about the news: “Most StorSimple customers are mainstream IT organizations that have chosen Windows Azure as their primary cloud. We are excited to continue to work with Microsoft and bring the combined benefits of StorSimple and Windows Azure to customers around the world.”
Terms of the deal have not been disclosed.

iPad Mini Event To Be Held On October 23
iPad Mini Event To Be Held On October 23:
We know almost everything there is to know about the iPad Mini. We’ve seen its design, we know that it’s coming in 12 models, and that it will launch at some point in late October or early November. Now we just need an actual date for the announcement and we’ll be set.
Well, we can finally mark that last one off the list as Apple sent out the invites for the big Apple event today. The multi-colored invitation only says, “We’ve got a little more to show you.” It’s obvious that the “little more” is the iPad Mini.
Either way, the iPad Mini is going to finally be unveiled at this event. Expect to hear every little detail about Apple’s entry into the 7-inch tablet market. We’ll also find out when we can expect to see the device on store shelves. I’m personally betting on a late October release, but an early November release is just as feasible.
It should be noted that this is Apple’s last big event for the year. The company’s shares are already riding high on the iPhone 5′s impressive performance, but they could take it even further with a great showing for the iPad Mini. A number of consumers are apparently not that excited about the device, but a great show with a lot of hype could turn that around.
Aside from the iPad Mini, Apple is expected to show off a new 13-inch retina MacBook Pro. The company will probably make some other announcements at the event, but what those other announcements are remains a mystery.
On a final note, we’ll be bringing you all the news from the October 23 event. In the meantime, you can check out all of our previous iPad Mini coverage to get an idea of what to expect come next Tuesday.

Google Makes Changes To AdSense Performance Reports
Google Makes Changes To AdSense Performance Reports:
Google announced some changes to performance reports for AdSense today. The company says the changes will improve usability and make the reports more visually compelling.
One change involves the graph area. It now covers a wider areas of the screen. Secondly, the list of metrics has been moved from the right-hand side of the screen to the top in an interactive scorecard.
There are also now new graph types, like pie graphs or bar charts. The Countries report shows where users are located on a world map, not unlike what you will find in Google Analytics.
There are new buttons for day, week and month for the timeline graph. Google says these will “allow for more control over granularity when analyzing activity over longer time periods.”
You can choose “Events” on a timeline report graph or select the “Events” report from the navigation to see how specific account changes are related to account performance, Google explains.
Reports are now organized into “Common Reports,” ” Quick Reports,” and “Saved Reports”. Quick reports can be accessed in their own panel instead of having to navigate through the Saved reports panel.
