From our bloggers: Costello buys a computer from Abbott Jamey Heary: I loved watching Abbott and Costello as a kid so I couldn't resist sharing this skit with you all.

Brad Reese: Perhaps we're seeing Cisco's future with the launch of its new software platform - Eos. By cutting out channel partners as it sells Eos software, Cisco might be able to maintain high profit margins even during the ongoing commoditization of older Cisco products sold through the channel.

It's Really Only Partly Cloudy Out There Michael Morris: In the last couple blogs I listed some network issues I foresee with the coming Cloud Computing rush. There are five major areas I listed. But I also want to say, it's not all bad news. When censorship goes too far, we cannot say Gar-ner anymore Larry Chaffin: I received an e-mail from a company that puts companies in a square divided into four sections.The e-mail asked me to take down my blogs that contained this company's name.
