Are computers transforming humanity?
If primitive hand tools changed us from gatherers to hunters, and the invention
of the printing press propagated literacy while downgrading the importance of
the oral tradition, what individual and cultural transformations do new computer
technologies portend?

Keeping pace with evolving technologies
IT leaders are struggling to manage workers and customers who demand constant
connections, mobility and flexibility, prefer electronic networking over
in-person contact, and multitask with ease but may not have the same thinking
processes as previous generations.

Start-up costs slow spread of de-duplication

it to date.

Changed antitrust rules could curb tech mergers
The U.S. Department of Justice last week repealed a short-lived Bush-era policy
on investigating antitrust violations. The move signals a more aggressive
approach toward antitrust enforcement that could blunt activity by major
technology vendors like Google, Oracle and IBM.

Green gotchas: The pitfalls of tech recycling
In recent years, recycling has become a high priority for IT departments. Yet as
recycling efforts are ramping up, more managers are finding themselves coping
with shady recyclers that dispose of IT assets in environmentally irresponsible
ways, potentially exposing sensitive enterprise data in the process.

PC energy use still unmanaged
A survey shows that most companies haven't deployed PC power management tools or
policies, which means they're wasting money. One barrier: The IT department
doesn't own the energy budget.

What the heck!?
I was called to one of our remote sites the other day because the computer had
entered into one of those windows endless reboot cycles. You know the one: it
starts up, shows the windows logo and the loading bar, then quickly blue screens
and reboots to do it all over again ...
