IT Blogwatch: TWC's un-metered broadband is, err, metered
In Wednesday's IT Blogwatch, Richi Jennings watches Time Warner Cable stops
imposing metered broadband and instead, imposes metered broadband. Not to
mention Sockington the cat, celebrating 300,000 Twitter followers...

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols: Will Microsoft blow its netbook lead with Windows 7 crippleware?
Microsoft has grabbed a large share of the netbook market from Linux, but it's
done so at a huge cost and now it's about to blow its lead with a crippleware
version of Windows 7.

Preston Gralla: Acer and Intel: Crippled Windows 7 netbooks won't sell
The crippled version of Windows 7 that will ship with some netbooks may be a
non-starter --- partners Acer and Intel have both said they don't believe that
netbooks equipped that way will sell.

Seth H. Weintraub: Google Profiles pave the way for global directory, Facebook killer
Google is publicizing their Google Profiles for the first time this week. If you
do a Google search for your name (and who hasn't), you'll now see your Google
profile at the bottom of the search results. This is a big deal.

Lisa Hoover: Blogging for pay: A reality check
There's an interesting -- if not entirely accurate -- look at the world of
professional blogging in today's Wall Street Journal. The author claims the
number of people who make a living as a blogger outnumber firefighters,
bartenders, or computer programmers. Are there really that many well-paid
bloggers? Are we talking about planet Earth?

Richi Jennings: RSA Conference, day one
This is the first of my reports from the RSA Conference. This will be just a
short post, as the conference proper starts Tuesday. As ever, there's more depth
on my blog.

Robert L. Mitchell: FairPoint's secret plan for improving service
To reassure a frustrated public, FairPoint announced new metrics for monitoring
its service quality. Too bad it doesn't plan to tell anyone how well it is
meeting them.

Around the World: AT&T plans to double 3G speeds
AT&T is doubling the download capacity of its HSPA 3G network just before a new
iPhone device is expected to launch. The new speeds take AT&T's capacity from
3.6 Mbps to 7.2 Mbps for 3G devices.

Robert L. Mitchell: Doing voice mail math with Vonage
How many are there in a ring? I needed to know before I could set up Vonage's
voice mail feature.

for free, too.

Mark Everett Hall: Agile development path leads to SaaS
Updating business processes with 21st century IT thinking means avoiding the
well-known, old-fashioned consulting firms.

Shark Tank: Because the fools keep improving
Flashback to the 1960s, when a telephone switch was enormous and foolproof.
Well, almost foolproof.

I recently became a member of the unemployed. I interviewed at a LOT of

appropriate. Company A gave me two telephone interviews before requesting that I
come to them for an in-person ...
