TODAY'S TOP STORY
_________________
Symantec Digesting Altiris
James Gaskin, ITworld.com
I just returned from ManageFusion Orlando, the Altiris user conference.
Last April, two days before ManageFusion, Symantec gobbled Altiris.
Company officials could only say they promise to integrate the companies
and products properly, but had no time to actually do anything. This
gave some Altiris customers indigestion, because Symantec hasn't always
integrated acquisitions well.

Hackers and suits: 10 Tips for bridging the gap
Hal Fulton, CIO
This article has been difficult to write; it is not dispassionate or
unbiased. I am a senior developer with no management background, which
places me firmly in one camp. But honesty compels me to admit that
neither side is wholly right or wholly wrong in its attitudes. There are
certainly things that hackers can learn from suits, and vice versa. The
gap can be bridged - has to be bridged - if a department is to run
smoothly.

The Geek Gap: Why business and technology professionals don't understand
each other
Lack of respect and trust, poor communication and a culture clash are
often at fault for the clash between "geeks" and "suits", according to
Bill Pfleging and Minda Zetlin, authors of The Geek Gap. A geek's
primary strength is problem solving or creating and maintaining
technology, while a suit's talent is influencing people. Here's an
interview with the authors, and some tips for closing the divide.
