| Four tech spats that could be settled over a beer with Obama If sitting down with the President of the United States and quaffing a few brewskis can really help tamp down controversy over a highly-charged race issue then perhaps the President could pull up a bar stool and settle some far less vital disagreements plaguing the tech industry. Here we go: Pervasive encryption and key management Twitter, Linux, Red Hat, Microsoft "honored" with Pwnie Awards Think of the annual Pwnie Awards delivered at the Black Hat conference as a geek version of the Oscars if they were combined with the tongue-in-cheek Razzies that celebrate the worst of Hollywood. Twitter, Linux and Red Hat were among honorees that didn't go unscathed this time around. iPhone virus: What you need to know The iPhone's security flaws were laid bare at the Black Hat Conference in Las Vegas yesterday, and now the smartphone-clutching public has boiled itself into a frenzy. But how serious is this supposed iPhone virus, and what can be done to protect your iPhone from infection? Here is what we know, and why you probably shouldn't worry. July Giveaways Cisco Subnet is giving away 15 copies each of books on Enterprise Web 2.0 and Building a Greener Data Center; Microsoft Subnet is giving away training from New Horizons to one lucky reader and 15 copies of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services Unleashed. Entry forms can be found on the Cisco Subnet and Microsoft Subnet home pages. Deadline for entries July 31. Network World on Twitter? You bet we are |
