Podcast
Beyond War Room Network Management (36:24 minutes)
"Today, if you were to look into a customer's IT department managing a
network environment, you would often see a war-room-like approach to
managing networks," said HP's Ashish Kuthiala. Spiraling IT complexities
are running headlong into shrinking budgets. This is a job for
comprehensive, automated, integrated network management tools.

Barnes & Noble Tells a Simpler Story With New Nook E-Reader
Barnes & Noble has introduced its new Nook -- a more elementary, less
expensive black and white WiFi e-reader device geared toward a simpler
market and hoping to compete in the growing e-reader field. The new Nook
unrolls with some key differences from its predecessors and competitors.
Primarily, it features a touchscreen and offers a battery life of up to
two months.

Beyond the Point of No Return: Is There Life in Black Holes?
Few ideas convey the mystery and awe-inspiring nature of space better
than the black hole. Dark, vast and little understood, black holes in
many ways represent all that we still don't know about the universe.
With their seemingly infinite emptiness and general unexplorability,
they're also more than a little terrifying. Imagine what it would be
like, then, to learn that life exists in these expansive regions of no
escape.

gLabels Does the Job but Wouldn't Make Patrick Bateman Sweat
It is rare that I lament about a task I cannot do in Linux better than
when I used that Redmond OS that rhymes with lindows. But you can hear
me pining for those commercial and shareware programs every time I have
to create a printing job around business cards or mailing labels on my
Linux rigs. For many of these specialized label and card-making jobs,
gLabels is a very workable solution.

Federal IT Landscape Requires More Gold, Less Glitter
Federal chief information officers appear to be heeding the unofficial
Missouri state slogan: "I'm from Missouri -- Show Me." In a challenging
time for procurement of IT systems and services, CIOs are trying to
adopt improved methods for acquiring and managing information resources.
