Today's focus: Google is full of baloney

By Jeff Caruso

Google claims that its plan to index every book under the sun is
"fair use." So why is the company offering an "opt-out" option
for authors and publishers? 'Net Buzzman Paul McNamara this week
says it's really all about the money.

Face-off: Are smart networks a good investment?

Aventail CEO Evan Kaplan calls smart networks the "Star Wars
defense system of our time - monolithic, vulnerable and
inherently unreliable." Rob Redford, Cisco's vice president of
product and technology marketing, begs to differ. Who's right?
Read both sides and use our forum to put in your own two cents.

Kaplan: No

Redford: Yes

Convergence is all-encompassing

Combining voice and data onto the same network sounds like a
fine idea on paper. But once you start down that road, the voice
people and the data people have to work together like never
before. In fact, the way you manage your whole company has to
change. Johna Till Johnson explains.

The good ol' days?

Ten years ago, Network World took its first steps onto the Web
with Network World Fusion. Networking was a whole lot different
back then. Chuck Yoke takes a stroll down Memory Lane this week
in his User View.
