Today's Story Highlights


Federal Cloud Adoption Blossoms

The U.S. government's foray into cloud computing could hardly be called

"mature," but it appears to be moving from infancy to something akin to

pre-teen status. Agencies increasingly are embracing the cloud, and the

pace of acquisition reflects more comfort with the solution. Several

recently launched initiatives affect federal agencies and technology

vendors in the cloud acquisition process.

Facebook Staring at Fresh Privacy Class Action

Facebook is set for another legal battle over privacy, with a fresh

class-action lawsuit fired up against the company. The legal action is

the brainchild of Austrian law student Max Schrems, a noted campaigner

against Facebook's treatment of user privacy. Schrems called on adult

Facebook users around the world to join his suit after he filed a

complaint in Vienna's commercial court.

Google Hangouts Get Down to Business

Google has unveiled a handful of new features for Google Apps for

Business designed to attract more enterprise customers. Google Hangouts,

its video chat service, will be further integrated into Google's

enterprise suite, entitling Google Apps for Business customers to 24/7

phone support and 99.9 percent guaranteed uptime, the same support level

they get with Google Drive and business Gmail.
