1. 100 Gigabit Ethernet: Bridge to Terabit Ethernet

IT managers who are getting started with -- or even pushing the limits of -- 10
Gigabit Ethernet in their LANs and data centers won't have to wait long for
higher speed connectivity.

2. Report: Hackers break into Pentagon's fighter jet project

Hackers broke into U.S. Department of Defense computers and downloaded terabytes
of data containing design information about the Joint Strike Fighter, a US$300

3. Android faces fight for smartphone users, despite Google's update plan

Google soon plans to ship an updated version of Android with new features that
users and developers have been calling for. But Android-based phones likely
won't leapfrog rivals such as the iPhone.

4. 'Cataloging error' lands Amazon.com in hot water

Amazon.com said a glitch that removed sales rankings for gay and lesbian-themed
books and knocked them out of search results was caused by a cataloging error,
not a hack of its Web site.

Wait, you do WHAT?

We have an admin assistant who is, well, "fries and drink short of a Happy
Meal," so to speak. The help desk started getting e-mails from her about "porn
e-mails" in her mailbox. I look over her mailbox settings, junk mail settings,
edge-roll server settings, ISP filter settings, and they all look just fine, so
I tell her to keep putting them into her junk mail folder ...
