NETFLASH: BREAKING NEWS FROM NETWORKWORLD.COM

By Jeff Caruso

Networks congested but unharmed after London explosions

In the wake of several explosions that rocked London today,
phone networks - and particularly mobile phone networks - have
been jammed with worried callers. But the actual infrastructure
appears to be undamaged.

Our most popular page of late has been this open letter, which

these your priorities?

Weblog: When IE is the right choice

IT Borderlands is our newest Weblog, written by Ken Fasimpur, IT
coordinator at a midsize company. IT never gets a break, he
reports: A friend sought him out over the July 4 weekend when
her Web browser stopped working. He thinks about installing a

Explorer. Read why at:

Today on Layer 8, where we love holiday-shortened work weeks:

Florida man charged for stealing Wi-Fi signal; German airline
