Reduce Fire Safety Risk in Your Network!
Concerns are rising about the growing number of combustible
cables present in buildings required to service the
ever-increasing demands of IT networks. More workstations are
taxing the infrastructure. These concerns are the thrust behind
new "limited combustible" cables that reduce fire safety risk.

WORST-CASE SCENARIO
If your company commits a serious HIPAA or Sarbanes-Oxley
violation, who takes the fall? Could it be you? You've probably
heard loose talk about this risk at industry conferences and in
the press. But can an IT exec actually end up doing hard time?
See what experts predict:

Today's focus: Nokia release tiny Linux PC
By Phil Hochmuth
Nokia last month released a Linux-based handheld computer aimed
at mobile power users and gadget enthusiasts alike.
About the size of a disposable camera, the Nokia 770 Internet
Tablet runs a mini desktop Linux distribution put together by
the phone maker. The interface is a 4-inch touch screen, which
is used to access Web browsing, e-mail, some office productivity
applications, as well as an RSS news reader, a digital music
file player, and tools for viewing movies and photos. Future
releases are said to include applications for presence
management and VoIP.
The tablet has an 802.11-based radio, allowing users to get on a
corporate wireless LAN or Wi-Fi hot spot. The device also has
the capability to get online via a Bluetooth-enabled Nokia phone
- the Bluetooth link, acting like an invisible cable, allows you
to dial up a 'Net connection over the cell phone. The gadget is
Nokia's first release of a product running on a Linux-based
operating system.
In addition to its release of the tablet, Nokia also pledged
that it would offer full patent support for the Linux system.
This "legally binding" patent statement will allow Nokia
technology to be used with the further development of the Linux
kernel.
The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet is slated for shipping in the U.S.
and Europe at the end of the summer, and will cost $350.
