Reduce Fire Safety Risk in Your Network!

Concerns are rising about the growing number of combustible
cables present in buildings required to service the
ever-increasing demands of IT networks. More workstations are
taxing the infrastructure. These concerns are the thrust behind
new "limited combustible" cables that reduce fire safety risk.

Today's focus: We deserve better from broadband

By Jeff Caruso

We deserve better from broadband

Kevin Tolly this week notes that broadband access has become a
must-have for many households, particularly those with
teleworkers. But the fact is, the performance of your broadband
service can vary widely - and your service provider isn't
guaranteeing anything beyond making sure it's "on." What's up
with that? Do service providers have something to hide?

Bad news for Microsoft

Over the years, many people have argued that this technology or
that company would knock Microsoft off its perch at the top of
the desktop software mountain. The latest argument says that
you'll never find Windows on very low-cost PCs - the kind you
can now find at Wal-Mart - and that means the growth in the
Linux user base will accelerate. Scott Bradner puts his own spin
on this argument.

The "IT doesn't matter" guy goes one step further

The man who brought you "IT doesn't matter" is back. Nicholas
Carr is now arguing that IT should be treated as a utility and
served up to companies like electricity is today. But this is
not really a new argument, and it's one that Network World
Editor-in-Chief John Dix is ready to shoot full of holes.

Manuals, shmanuals

When a reader asks whether he read the manual before attempting
something with his new Apple system, Mark Gibbs says no - and he
shouldn't have to. "If you can't just dive in and figure it out
then to hell with it," he says.
