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. Not a single person I spoke to throughout the day was using Hyper-V.

A memoir of my journey to become an iPhone App Developer, how hard is it really?
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.

DNS news and tips
DNS is not secure and is extremely vulnerable. DNS is at the core of every connection we make on the Internet. While some servers are indeed vulnerable, because of inadequate management or knowledge, the real threat is from the protocol itself and how data is easily subverted or faked as it moves around the internet.
