- Fretting Over 802.11ac
By Lee H. Badman
Call me a downer, call me a cynic but I consider myself a realist. The not-yet-draft version of IEEE 802.11ac is building up steam just off the wireless stage, and I'm here to tell my fellow wireless network administrators that now is the time to start worrying.

- Dell Unwraps First Ocarina-Based Storage Offering
By Steve Wexler
In the not-so-distant past, Dell's storage revenues primarily consisted of EMC commissions, which at a reported $1.29 billion in 2008 were nothing to sneer at. Fast forward to today after the acquisitions of companies like Compellent and EqualLogic, and the company's own intellectual property now represents nearly 80 percent of its storage revenues and more than 90 percent of its storage profits. Dell is now looking to leverage another acquisition, Ocarina Network (data compression and deduplication software), to drive its storage sales even higher.

- BlueStacks Brings Android Apps To Windows
By Mike Fratto
