HP recalls 70,000 laptop batteries

Apple finally sells iPhone 3G online

consumers have been able to get the device without making a trip to an Apple
retail store or buying from AT&T.

Steps for Achieving Proper Mobile Security Governance
Using a mobile device to access corporate information systems can potentially
create a hole to corporate security if not protected and used properly. In a
recent report from CSI, the theft or loss of corporate proprietary and customer
information by mobile devices is nearly half of all sources.

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.

Bigger Savings through Greater Server Virtualization
As successful as virtualization has been in most implementations, IT managers
today are seeking an even more rapid ROI and greater cost savings. Is this even
possible? The answer surprisingly is 'yes' – provided you address the various
management challenges that arise as more of the IT infrastructure is
virtualized.

Cell-phone service surprises and portion sizes
For the past 10 years I've expected three constants when visiting the U.S.:
friendly people, large portions of food and bad cell-phone coverage.

Study: Tech gadgets suck up too much juice
The energy consumption from communications technologies and consumer electronics
devices, including computers, mobile phones and televisions, could be reduced by
more than 50% through the use of energy-efficient technologies that exist today.

ColorWare for BlackBerry Bold
If you're a raging CrackBerry addict -- or even a burgeoning one -- you've
likely already taken steps to make your BlackBerry device "your own." Maybe you
replaced that stock white trackball with a snazzy new red one, bought a fancy
skin or an expensive case? Or perhaps you dropped a cool US$1,500 on a custom
yellow device from some fancy-pants department store. It happens, trust me.

AT&T claims to sell twice as many smartphones as any competitor
Twice as many smartphone users have picked AT&T over any other wireless U.S.
carrier, owing to the carrier's array of smartphones, its fast wireless network
and its 20,000 hot spots, according to AT&T.

IDC White Paper Web Security SaaS: The Next Generation of Web Security
With Web-based threats increasing in number and complexity, businesses are
struggling to balance growing security needs with limited resources. More
organizations are turning to software-as-a-service (SaaS) as the next generation
of Web security. IDC believes SaaS provides numerous technical and business
benefits that companies should consider for adoption.

SHARK BAIT OF THE DAY
_____________________
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 ...
