technologies but in the actual facility itself. IDC research demonstrates the
difficulties that organizations have prioritizing often conflicting business
goals in this new IDC White Paper.

Preston Gralla: Four things Mac OS X can learn from Windows 7
Microsoft has been accused over the years of stealing many of the Mac's features

Microsoft. Here are four things that Mac OS X can learn from Windows 7.

Lisa Hoover: New features will give Ning its turn at the altar
Since its launch in 2005, social network-building platform Ning has been a
beautiful bridesmaid, but never a bride. The site offers a terrific way for
people to create a social network around a particular interest or hobby, but has
suffered from a lack of useful tools and a rather bland choice of templates. Now
Ning plans to offer a host of new apps and features that will make the idea of
building a unique social network a whole lot more attractive.

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols: Installing Windows 7 with some Linux help
Oh, the irony of it all, to install Windows 7, I had to use Linux.

Mark Everett Hall: SaaS verdict on print: Dead, getting deader
Coremetrics offers analytical tools for online marketers. One of the insights
some are seeing is that online marketing works better for in-store sales than
even online sales. So why should companies continue to promote in-store business
in print?

Mark Everett Hall: CIO's old role in agile crosshairs

Douglas Schweitzer: And I thought talking was dangerous ...
It's not even newsworthy because, like me, I'm sure you see this every day;
someone talking on the phone while they're driving. But today I saw for the
first time, and firsthand, a driver just narrowly miss another vehicle she was
too busy to notice because SHE WAS TEXTING.
