Meeting the Productivity Challenge in a Consumerized IT World
Employees are growing more comfortable working from their own devices, particularly with the increasing adoption of portable technologies like the tablet computer. They are also accustomed to self-service delivery of applications in their personal lives, with almost instant access to apps and new services. IT managers need to learn how to get a handle on these devices rather than fight a losing battle with regulation.

Tarzan Ball is a tricky hook-and-pull physics game
That's a handy ability to have, especially since you've got no legs, no arms, and no other means of transportation. In Tarzan Ball, the rope is everything. But you don't just swing around the screen aimlessly - that wouldn't be much of a game now, would it?
Instead, your goal in life is to collect "targets". Each level has one of these "targets" hidden away somewhere on the screen, usually behind some kind of barrier. Once you navigate close enough to the target, you can shoot your rope at it and just reel it in. That's when you pass the level.
You can't die in this game, but it can still be very frustrating. It's actually one of the tougher games I've posted recently. Still, if you enjoy physics games, this one is quite nicely made.
[This is actually the sequel to IQ Ball, which we covered last year! -Ed]

Torus is an impressive 3D Tetris game powered by HTML5
You rotate the ring itself with the arrow keys, while a Tetris-like piece slowly (excruciatingly slowly, in fact) descends from the top. As soon as you make a solid line, it disappears.
Not all pieces are Tetris-like; some of them wouldn't really work with a regular Tetris game but are a good fit for Torus' 3D format.
Torus is ideal for playing at the office, because it has absolutely no soundtrack. The game is dead-quiet. It's also very very slow (slow enough for me to mention it twice in one post) so you can safely look away for a moment and then keep playing. Also, as soon as the game loses focus, it automatically pauses.
Bottom line: It's an impressive demo of the power of HTML5; if it were a bit faster, it would have some serious addictive potential.

Paying To Serve: Microsoft Offers Accelerator-Backed Startups $60,000* In Azure Cloud Usage
The perks of getting into a top startup accelerator just got a little better. Microsoft is now offering startups in its new BizSpark Plus program�$60,000 worth of costs for using its Azure cloud computing program. This includes any company that's a part of TechStars�or�its affiliated Global Accelerator Network, as well as Seedcamp, Dogpatch Labs, and a list of others. Let's say your hot new startup has just launched to the public, gotten TechCrunched, and is dealing with its big first wave of traffic. This deal will let you quickly scale up to meet the demand without blowing your seed funding on emergency virtual machines. An open cloud services platform, Azure works with major development languages including node.js, java, php and Microsoft's own . net, among others -- the point, from Microsoft's perspective, is to get in with the next batch of companies before they get hooked on offerings from rivals like Amazon.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/lQGCxRXUvpE/

Twitter Posts Awful/Hilarious Recruiting Video To YouTube
Twitter has posted a seriously awful/hilarious recruiting video to YouTube, which the company says was the product of last week's "Hack Week." During this time, employees were able to take time away from their day-to-day work to collaborate on new ideas. Although it was only posted on Friday, the video has already seen over 400,000 views at the time of writing. Why so viral? Because it's parodying the entire genre of startup recruiting videos by purposefully being bad. Really, really bad. So bad it's funny. Or at least that's the hope. The video has everything: amateurish effects, cheesy music, stilted speech, bad acting, poor production quality, and sayings like:�"Man this is a sweet job. But working at Twitter isn't just a sweet job, it's a way of life - a way of life that's like a sweet job." Yeah, you pretty much have to watch this one.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/0rHlYskPYyI/
