Glenn Weadock: Think about the degree to which technologies such as e-mail, chat, and instant messaging have changed our lives. Are the changes a net positive or not? I needed a new keyboard for one of my machines, so I thought, I'll try the vendor warranty support chat line to see whether it's any faster than hanging on the phone. Exchange Server 2010 and RPCClientAccessServer Madness!
Tyson Kopczynski: "A déjà vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something."

Brian Egler: Who needs extra stress in their lives? Well, here's a tool to add stress to your SQL Server. It's called SQLIOSim. It's from Microsoft and it's free. Of Copyright and the Internet
Kerrie Meyler: Did you know it's illegal to download copyrighted songs without paying for it?

When Security Software goes BAD
Ron Barrett: In the age of antivirus, spam, spyware, IDS and firewalls here comes a set of products to make you less secure. I received an email about new identity management software that will collect all the sensitive data that is residing in your email, browsers, documents, etc. and then proceeds to show you how vulnerable you are to attack. Windows 7 Feature Focus: Libraries
