IT Blogwatch: Apple's netbook strategy: deny, deny, deny
In Thursday's IT Blogwatch, Richi Jennings watches Apple not plan to make
netbooks. Oh no. Not never. Capiche? Not to mention the psychology of Twitter...

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols: Netbook 2009: The four big changes
By year's end, we're going to see Windows 7 Starter Edition on netbooks;
netbooks that confuse the difference between laptops and netbooks; Linux
netbooks using ARM processors, and, drum-roll please Google Android netbooks.
Here's how it's going to work out.

Preston Gralla: Will Apple and Google go to war over netbooks?
With a Google Android notebook already spotted in the wild and rumors heating up
about an Apple netbook, Microsoft's two biggest competitors may soon go head to
head with one another in the increasingly crowded netbook market. The winner?
Consumers, who can expect lower prices, more features, and greater choice.

Seth Weintraub: AT&T reports declining profit, iPhone-fueled wireless growth
AT&T's biggest problem? There are no more new-to-wireless customers out there.
Everyone has a cellphone and most people who are going to get data plans already
have them. Especially in this economy. There is very little room for growth in
this area.

Richi Jennings: RSA Conference, day two
This is the second of my reports from the RSA Conference. These meetings are
getting brutal, but I'll spare you the pleas for sympathy.

Douglas Haider: RSA inspired thoughts on wireless security
With the RSA conference in full swing, the theme of the week is definitely
security. However, RSA focuses on traditional security products and not my
niche, which is wireless & mobile security. Nevertheless, all the security
related blogging and tweets did get me thinking about mechanisms for wireless
security in the enterprise. One of the main instruments for enterprise class
wireless security is a wireless intrusion detection system (WIDS) or wireless
intrusion prevention system (WIPS).

Mike Elgan: Digital nomads: Your camera has arrived at last!
I've got a common-sense list of 8 criteria for an acceptable digital nomad
camera. Until this month, no camera met all requirements. But when the $400
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 shipped this month, all criteria were suddenly met. I've
bought and tested the camera, and can now recommend it highly — very highly — to
all you digital nomads out there.

Virtualization Solves the Top Six Storage Issues

use cases and common issues faced by IT organizations, this white paper offers
answers to the question: "What can storage virtualization do for my
organization?"

Joyce Carpenter: Hardship discount for Deep Agile conference
Imagine, if you will, a person who has been laid off. I hope it's hard, but try.
Just for a moment. Imagine this person is an agile developer. Imagine that this
person has an interest in embedded systems. Imagine this person in Cambridge, MA
this weekend. This person is in luck.

Seth Weintraub: Apple posts good quarter, beats expectations
Although Mac sales were off 3% year over year, Apple did incredibly well
otherwise including quarterly iPhone unit sales of 3.79 million, up 123 percent
from the year-ago-quarter.

Barbara Krasnoff: Recycling in NYC -- it's gonna be the law.
If you're like me, there's a good chance you've been stashing your old tech
gadgets down in the basement, to be taken care of when you "have the time."
Well, if you live in New York City, and have been too busy to get rid of your
old computers, CRTS, digital cameras, etc., be careful -- in another year, you
may find yourself stuck with them forever.

Douglas Schweitzer: Cyber-attacks on Pentagon's weapons program
Like everyone in IT, I'm all for beefing up cybersecurity. When it comes to
government-run system operations, funding usually suffers though. Nevertheless,
officials over at the Pentagon are confident that they're sufficiently protected
even though cyber-attacks are a constant on the Pentagon. A couple of days ago I
heard that the security of the new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter had possibly been
compromised by cyber-attackers who were able to get information on the F-35
electronics and logistics system that could let enemies protect themselves
against the fighter aircraft.

Seth Weintraub: Against harsh economy, Apple's ship keeps sailing
We are in the middle of the worst recession in most of our lifetimes. It is
cutting across all industries. Apple makes premium products that cost more than
its competitors across the line. How do they continue to do so well?

Mark Everett Hall: Mashups smooth bumps between citizens and services
Volunteering at a soup kitchen occasionally or hammering nails for Habitat for
Humanity might have satisfied some people's altruism, but Bobbie Wilbur went one
better. She started a new career. In 2005, using her talents from a successful
stint as a conultant for Deloitte LLP, Wilbur helped create The Center to
Promote HealthCare Access in Oakland, Calif. and develop its One-e-App, an
online service that targets a vastly underserved market: people in need.

Shark Tank: Thirty years later, same basic problem
This IT pilot fish walks in one morning to find a crisis: The air conditioning
has died, it's 100-plus degrees in the computer room, and equipment is baking.

Forrester Report: Server Virtualization, Q3 2008
Forrester's IT infrastructure and operations team answered 220 inquiries on data
centers, servers, and virtual appliances in 2008, 72 were specifically in regard
to server virtualization. If you are considering or are in the process of
implementing this study could make all the difference by showing you which
questions you too should be asking.

downsides to having it by your feet ...
