- VMware: Driving IT Innovation and Disruption
By David Hill
The big picture that VMware continues to emphasize is that a trio of disruptive trends is simultaneously transforming IT: infrastructure renewal, applications development and end-user computing. Understanding these trends is necessary not only to comprehend what new products and services can do today, but also to get a better perspective of what is likely to happen in the future.

- Of Body Armor, Handcuffs, And Fluke Networks' AirCheck
By Lee H. Badman
In the IT media business, you tend to see a lot of press releases. The majority of these are informative but benign, and seldom make you do a double-take.

While I approve of the sentiment behind the title, a couple of the points made in the release bother me.
