FAQ: Why choose SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop?
The answer is simple. It costs less, so you don't incur exorbitant licensing
fees. It was designed with users in mind, so it's easy to use and it
interoperates with your existing systems. And whether you want to run SUSE Linux
Enterprise Desktop as a general office desktop system or tailor it for use as a
thin or thick client, it's flexible and extremely secure.

City 2.0: Using tech building blocks in tomorrow's urban centers
No, cars aren't flying around quite yet -- but ubiquitous wireless networks, the
smart energy grid and city-provided social networks are definitely ready.

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols: After Googlefail, will you trust online apps?
Google fouled up its own network, so would you trust them, or anyone else, with
your applications?

Microsoft NAP: NAC for the rest of us?
Microsoft NAP is an effective network gatekeeper for Windows endpoints, but
initial configuration is complex, policies are basic, and reporting is absent.
NAP is best used as a core technology deployed in combination with others for a
more complete, manageable, and scalable solution.

Tackling Identity Data with Identity Hub
How an application consumes identity data is one of the most challenging aspects
of developing an identity-enabled application. Identity Services, a key
mechanism behind Service-Oriented Security, enable developers to easily reuse
many common identity functions. This paper takes a closer look at the issues
surrounding the patterns for accessing identity data and what an ideal Identity
Hub should provide for developers.

Napera N24: NAP made easy
Microsoft's Network Access Protection (NAP) serves as a good foundation for
securing Windows network infrastructure. Nevertheless, you can usefully expand
NAP's capabilities with applications that bring easier configuration of
policies, more granular enforcement, and clearer reporting to the mix. A case in
point: the Napera N24 network access control appliance.

Accountability in enterprise wireless deployments
As the need for mobility has grown in the enterprise, so have the security
risks. While solutions have been developed to address specific security
problems, there needs to be a holistic approach to WLAN security that leverages
the security infrastructure of the wireline enterprise network.

Update all your social networks at once with Ping.fm
Want to tell the world you just scored tickets to Coldplay? If you subscribe to
more than a couple social networks, it might take you longer to post all your
updates than it did to buy the tickets. Ping.fm aims to make updates a unified
affair: Just send your missive to the service and it'll post it to all your
networks.

Error messages
I got an e-mail asking me for help with a program that crashed almost every time
it was run. In the e-mail, the user, supplied me with all the information
necessary: computer name, other programs running, and error message, almost 100%
verbatim. One letter was mistyped, a very small typo -- but it became one of the
most honest descriptions I ever read of an error ...
