| Human and computer viruses are both security risks
In any case there is likely to be a lot of additional employees wanting to, or needing to, work from home. Are you ready? Is US-CERT Ready for a Cyber Attack?
While other people peruse light or trashy novels on the beach, I spent the summer reading through government reports on cybersecurity. I was reviewing an GAO report from June 25, 2009 titled, "Cybersecurity, Continued Federal Efforts are Needed to Protect Critical Systems and Information," when I came across some rather shocking declarations buried in the report which are worth calling attention to. Federal IT strategy, hope over reality
Well, that ugly, ill-conceived bill from Senator Rockefeller, now called the "Cybersecurity Act of 2009", has reappeared and if it passes someone is going to get saddled with the job of making it happen. Who will be the lucky guy and can he succeed? Cisco's New "Validated Architecture for Long Distance VMotion" is Cheap Marketing
I was disapointed last week to see how cheap and over-hyped Cisco's "Validated Architecture for Long Distance VMotion" was. Can you see John Chambers directing Cisco to buy Alcatel-Lucent?
I always find it amusing when desperate Wall Street investment bankers float takeover rumors in the hope of putting lackluster performing companies into play while also simultaneously inflating the laggard company's stock price. My case in point? Alcatel-Lucent! Chambers gets 2 Million after net income falls 24% from last year , wish I ran my company like that.
This is the SEC Filing which spells out who got what, and it was not just Chambers who got money. I Remember When I Used a Public IPv4 Address

Because lots of good stuff goes unnoticed in comment strings ...Earlier this week we learned that Raytheon, long one of the nation's most powerful defense contractors, is acquiring venerable BBN Technologies, a networking pioneer perhaps most famous for its role in designing the ARPANET, precursor to the Internet. Can UC me now?
Unified Communications is a buzzword that's front-and-center for many organizations this year. Some are already deploying various UC technologies (UC is one of the top three "recession-proof" technologies in Nemertes' 2009 benchmark). And many are building out long-term UC strategies. Microsoft Subnet is giving away training from New Horizons and 15 copies of Windows Server 2008 How-To. Cisco Subnet is giving away 15 copies of Interconnecting Data Centers Using VPLS. Google Subnet is hosting many new bloggers (watch for giveaway information soon.) Entry forms can be found on the Cisco Subnet and Microsoft Subnet home pages. Network World on Twitter? You bet we are | 
Many technologies help fans enjoy sports. Others just annoy.
Apple has enjoyed huge success with the iPod and iPhone, but Apple has had a number of commercial flops, too.
