THE REAL RETURNS OF RFID

a very large organization, you have to believe there really is something
there.

THE CASE OF THE STOLEN WI-FI: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Benjamin Smith III and Gregory Straszkiewicz both were arrested for
allegedly stealing something no one could see, hear or feel. That thing
was valuable enough for victims to press charges in both cases. But the
arrests were over something many consumers throw out their windows every
day: a Wi-Fi signal.

A BUYER'S GUIDE TO OPEN SOURCE
Build or buy? It's a question that vexes every enterprise IT manager. On

hand, high price tags and the aggravation of installation, maintenance,
and support contracts can make purchasing a commercial package equally
painful.
