Racism, hate, and militancy sites have tripled in number over the past year on the Web and within corners of social-networking sites like Facebook and YouTube. Also, last week VMware had to reassure industry observers that it will not ban competition from the VMworld conference, after bloggers took the company to task on a policy change.

Here's the problem. A user behind a Riverbed Steelhead can't communicate with a server behind a Cisco WAAS. This is nuts! The Application Delivery System (ADS--aka WAN optimization) market is mature enough to fix this. The time has come to standardize how ADS technology works so enterprises can build multivendor solutions. We have done this with every other network technology. Why should ADS technology be different? Why are some hackers so successful? It's all in their heads
Cisco Subnet's Jamey Heary was featured in an online interview published today by former Cisco Subnet founder Linda Leung. Heary has a theory on why and how hackers succeed. They are masters of psychology, not just technology. Video: Microsoft Multipoint livens up math class
