UC Berkeley says hacker broke into health-services databases The University of California at Berkeley Friday disclosed that hackers broke into restricted computer databases in the campus health-services center, as the university began notifying current and former Berkeley students their personal information may have been taken. Juniper's estimates raised: good or bad for Cisco? Investment form UBS this week raised its estimates for Juniper Networks, citing improved visibility and order trends in the service provider market, and continuing traction in LAN switching. That means Cisco, too, is probably seeing the same trends; or that Juniper might be taking share from Cisco, as well as others. Threading to boost Firefox on multi-core chips Mozilla's developers have announced plans to add application multi-threading to Firefox over the next two years, a feature already partially enabled in its main rivals, IE8 and Google Chrome. CIOs seem to love VMware over Hyper-V Posted by Microsoft Subnet editor Julie Bort: Yesterday, I spoke at the Colorado IT Symposium in Denver. With about 200 CIOs and IT executives from the region in attendance, one message I heard over and over again was a proclaimed love for VMware.

What is the real deal with iPhone application development? Is it easy, hard, or somewhere in between? I just took a weeklong iPhone development course to find out. Like many iPhone owners, I want to have my own App Store shot at fame and fortune (well at least the fortune part:). Ever since I purchased my iPhone I thought it would be cool (and maybe profitable!) to develop my own iPhone app for the App Store. When I heard that a developer class was coming to my hometown of Denver I decided to seize the opportunity to throw my hat in the ring. Turn up the heat on texting transit drivers Clearly much more needs to be done to convince bone-headed public transit employees that talking on a cell phone -- or worse, texting -- while operating a subway car or commuter train has dire consequences for them. That it has dire consequences for passengers is already understood. Forty-eight passengers and one text-happy driver were injured in Boston last night when the latter decided that messaging his girlfriend was more important than applying the brake that would have prevented a collision with another trolley. Both vehicles were carrying baseball fans, including children, toward Fenway Park when the accident occurred. In September, a Los Angeles train wreck that killed 25 people was blamed on the driver's use of his cell phone. 5 things not to do in the sociosphere Over the last few weeks I've written extensively about social media, what you need to do corporately to get in the swim, and how to behave once you've got your feet wet.
