64-BIT WINDOWS ANTI-VIRUS NOT YET MAINSTREAM

Companies looking to become early adopters of Microsoft's Windows

THAT AHA! MOMENT

You gotta love Greg Raleigh's attitude. The man who invented MIMO
(Multiple Input Multiple Output) -- the technology behind the 802.11n
Wi-Fi standard -- insists that solving problems is easy. The real
challenge, he says, is "deciding what problems are interesting to
solve."

on the Internet.

HACKING FOR DOLLARS

Last week's column on the possible ethical queasiness caused by spamming
the spammers -- not to mention sending my friends George and Charlie on
a perpetual snipe hunt -- apparently struck a chord.

RESEARCHER AGREES TO SILENCE ON CISCO FLAWS

A security researcher who gave a presentation on vulnerabilities in Cisco
Systems routers at this week's Black Hat USA conference has
agreed not to further discuss the issue under the terms of a permanent
injunction issued by a U.S. federal court.

SECURITY VENDORS ENTER BIDDING WAR FOR VULNERABILITIES

As security personnel met at this week's Black Hat Conference in Las
Vegas, there was easy money to be made at the security vulnerability
table.

PRODUCT GUIDE: RACKABLE SYSTEMS S3118-ISCSI

Rackable's S3118-iSCSI appliance combines a basic iSCSI feature set and
good performance. The bundled Wasabi Storage Builder software makes
configuration a breeze, and the potential for using the box as a Windows
or Linux storage server offers additional appeal. Shops looking for easy
and flexible storage expansion will be hard-pressed to find a better
value.
