Daily news beat for March 10, 2008
Bye bye Wi-Fi hotspots. Maybe.
With mobile broadband use expanding, Wi-Fi hotspots will become as irrelevant as telephone booths, an Ericsson executive says.
Plenty of happenings on the chip front today. IBM and Hitachi join forces to collaborate on research and develop 32- and 22-nanometer semiconductors. More than two dozen low-cost notebooks based on Intel’s Atom are in the works and will ship with either Windows Vista or Linux. Analyst house Gartner warns of a coming chip glut that could indicate orders are falling or being cancelled.
Sony talks with Apple and Microsoft about Blu-Ray, according to a report, which suggests that the discussions focused on convincing them to offer Blu-ray Disc drives for their systems.
And Robert X. Cringely weighs in on a spear phishing attack against the government and the Pentagon asking Google to remove images of military installations from Street View, in Pentagon Hacks and Google Maps.

5 reasons cellular broadband is good for business
"Mark my words: The enterprise will be moving away from relying on Wi-Fi hotspots in favor of mobile broadband connectivity," Ephraim Schwartz declares. ROI, performance, and price, form the foundational objectives, he explains in 5 reasons cellular broadband in good for business. "The only caveat to this prediction that I can think of is, if Web 2.0 grows fast alongside desktop virtualization, you may not need a laptop."
Heck, you might not even need an operating system, Schwartz adds.

Best of the blogs: Call it WiTricity, as in the wireless electricity that an MIT-based scientist demonstrated by lighting a light bulb -- sans wires. "The hope is that over time, the antennas will be small enough to fit inside a laptop computer, a cell phone or an iPod so that users could recharge their devices while sitting in a special area in an airport, not unlike the hot spots we have today for Wi-Fi," Ephraim Schwartz explains in this Reality Check post.
Green IT: Whereas the hardware and chipmakers have already drawn energy-efficiency lines in the sand, the OS battle is just starting to brew between Linux and Microsoft. "Linux appears to have an advantage at the moment," Ted Samson reports in Linux, Windows duke it out over energy efficiency. "Microsoft isn't resting on its laurels, either." The Linux Foundation, meanwhile, has detailed the Green Linux Initiative, which aims to improve power management, extend battery life of mobile devices and reduce operating costs in the server room.
Columnist's corner: Whether you know it or not, donuts could get you fired. Well, at least that's almost the experience of this week's Off the Record author, who worked for a management team that "made it resoundingly clear that we would not be copying desktop shortcuts from the old machines to the new ones," he writes. "I advised the team against that course of action, explaining how it would lead to a lot of customer dissatisfaction and help desk calls." Guess what the primary user complaint was once they moved to XP. No, not the lack of donuts.
Careers: One reader writes Bob Lewis for advice about what to do when he is scapegoated. Is there a better way than to cut and run? Lewis writes that there is in What's needed to be effective. Once you've informed your boss and, if need be, your boss's boss, "your responsibility is to continue to do whatever work is assigned to you and to do it well." Barring that, Lewis offers three options.

Notes from the field: After spending his last summer before college sculpting the iPhone to be free of an AT&T Wireless contract, George Hotz bartered the thing for a car worth approximately $50,000, and three more iPhones, which he plans to unlock as well, Cringe reports in Hack my iPhone, please. Hotz is not alone, either, as UniquePhone and iPhoneSimFree.com both also boast of modifying the device's SIM card. "The difference is that while Apple wisely has left the Jersey Kid alone (are you paying attention, RIAA?), it's less sanguine about the software hacks." Related: Legal worries delay release of iPhone unlocking software.
Hardware: Acer buys Gateway for $710 million dollars and along with the company gets the first right of refusal should anyone try to purchase Packard Bell's parent company PB Holding -- an option the company already is exercising to block Lenovo's bid for Packard Bell.
From the Test Center: The great Office Server smorgasbord continues. In Part 3, a look at Forms Server 2007. Naturally, this one begins with a discussion of InfoPath, then onto the basic Forms Services within SharePoint before progressing to the complete Forms Server 2007. "If you've got enough forms and the right vision, Forms Server 2007 and SharePoint Server 2007 can pay for themselves," Brian Chee and Oliver Rist explain. Of course, there are downsides. "Both of these are potential resource hogs in a server room. Left unchecked, IT admins in big firms can quickly find their hard disks inundated with usable forms, broken forms, various versions of forms, and similar messes." Read the full review.

Best of the blogs: Along with others not covered by Cingular/AT&T Wireless, Paul Venezia explains that "getting an iPhone really isn't an option since any local calls would actually be in-state long-distance to a new number on an iPhone." Instead, he's been spending some quality time with his new Nokia N95 which offers many of the same features as the iPhone, though it does lack some as well. But it does have a beta of Nokia Media Transfer that syncs to iTunes and iPhoto. "The N95 is certainly no iPhone, but then again that's not necessarily a bad thing."
Platforms: The fact that OS X Leopard is now certified Unix by the Open Group raises the question is it safe? "I am genuinely unconcerned about those who see such statements as blasphemous or as baiting the Linux community," Tom Yager writes in this week's installment of Ahead of the curve. That's not to say there are no concerns, though. "Much as I'd hate to see OS X closed, and I hate the hell out of that idea, I have to admit that closing OS X's source code, combined with Apple's Unix certification, might help push OS X into organizations that associate Unix with stability and scalability."
Notes from the field: Best Buy just might be angling for a bigger fish. That's according to Robert X. Cringely, reporting that "well-placed sources tell me that the $31 billion electronics shark is circling the $485 million Covad." VoIP of the people. Rumors are blowing about an even bigger box retailer also expressing interest in Covad.

Wireless: An iPhone alternative already? Well, self-professed Linux geek Brian Chee has one: the NEO1973. It's one answer for folks who "want a cool looking communications platform, but either don't like Apple, don't like the iPhone, hate locked phones, etc." he writes in this Geeks in Paradise post. They even look similar, though the hardware under the hood is not. The iPhone has Multitouch and Sensors, and it's worth pointing out that as of now "the NEO is currently in a 'reference design' that developers can use as a starting point." It's no iPhone killer yet but "because it's open, and community developed, I wouldn't count it out anytime soon."
Best of the blogs: Like so many IT pros, Randall Kennedy is learning to live with UAC. That's User Account Control. During the Windows Vista betas, "the constant interruption of nearly every system or maintenance related task was unbearable," he writes. After disabling it, Kennedy was left with a nagging feeling of not being smart about the whole thing. "So I did the unthinkable: I turned UAC back on and rebooted my primary Windows development system. And then...nothing." Actually, he confesses to now considering UAC more asset than liability.
The news beat: Oracle debuts Database 11g, replete with improved security, testing and management features. Hewlett-Packard shows off prototype cell phones with Color Match mobile service technology in an effort to turn the devices into shopping advisors. And Google introduces Maplets to enable users to customize Google Maps.

Wireless: After nine days of doing little other than living, breathing and dissecting an iPhone, Tom Yager calls it "a really sweet mobile device." But, putting consumers and gadget freaks aside, for business users it's little more than a $1975 iPod. Problems include price, the monthly payments, it's overstated quality as a phone and mobile browser, the fact that it's closed to third-party development. "I can't recommend it. The unhappy fact is that for all the glamorous marketing and positioning, iPhone turns out to be the worst $1975 investment (iPhone plus two years minimum, mandatory service) you could make in mobile communications." Related: iPhone spurs developer renaissance and Analyst predicts iPhone based on iPod nano.
Notes from the field: Robert X. Cringely makes the bold move of putting Windows Vista up for adoption. Why? Well, two reasons. First, nearly six months after launching the OS Microsoft still feels "compelled to issue talking points that OEMs could use to convince customers not to wait for SP1." Second, Cringe writes, "corporate customers have been clamoring for easier ways to downgrade from Vista to XP so loudly that Microsoft actually ... simplified the process." What's more, a reader makes a pair of arguments the sum of which is that "Vista is at least 18 months away."
The news beat: Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer talks up software-plus-services, sharing more details about the company's plan to make such a transition. Security firm eEye says that Sun Microsystems is putting users at risks by staggering the release of patches for Java. And Icesoft Technologies upgrades its open source AJAX tool to help developers build Web 2.0 applications.

Best of the blogs: Intel claims to have waved its magic wand and summoned a Wi-Fi setup that reaches for 60 miles, as Stephanie Bruzzese reports in this short-and-sweet Tech Treks post. Only thing, "it won't be available for the likes of you and me."
The news beat: The TJX data heist has been confirmed as the largest single loss of consumer information to date with 45.7 million records involved, surpassing CardSystems Solutions exposure of some 40 million. The European Union reports that there are now more mobile phones than citizens on the continent. And here in the U.S. mobile vendors still face the backhaul issue.

Reap the benefits of VoIP on cellphones
Columnist's corner: Carriers are working long and hard to forestall the coming of VoIP on cellphones, but DiVitas has opened the door with its MCA gateway device, featured this week by Oliver Rist in Enterprise Windows. And to see the future of computing, check out IBM's latest rev of its Power chip architecture in this week's Ahead of the Curve. Tom Yager argues that Power6 may be more deserving of the headlines that will likely be grabbed by AMD's Barcelona CPU.
Best of the blogs: One of the great things about blogs is being able to comment about content after the fact. Dave Linthicum expands upon the ideas in his Enterprise mashups article in today's Real World SOA blog. And in Test Center Daily we preview Business Objects' newest BI platform release, which has more than meets the eye.
The news beat: The Internet is a reflection of society, and problems of fraud, social abuse, and other online crimes are more social and economic than technical, according to Google's chief Internet evangelist, Vinton Cerf. An IBM veteran has become the first woman to win the prestigious Turing Award, for her work on program optimization. Details of Sony's new digital cameras were leaked on the Internet a week ahead of schedule. And a European consumer group contends that cuts in roaming fees are a mere smokescreen that have had no effect on charges overall.

Truth behind Apple and 802.11n
Best of the blogs: What with all the flap whirling around about Apple's 802.11n enabler, Tom Yager sees fit to get to the bottom of why Apple is charging users for it. "If Apple hadn't come up with this sound solution, you'd have to buy AirPort Extreme -- an extraordinary product, as you'll read in my review -- or wait for Leopard in order to get 802.11n," Yager explains in this Enterprise Mac post. On the upside, it's only $1.99 and "you will never have to buy the enabler again."
SOA: As some so-called 'early SOAs' are just not meeting expectations, the notion of service performance optimization (SPO) is becoming increasingly important. "I guess you can blame a lot of things for poor performance; however I've found the core architecture and design issues are the most relevant variable," writes David Linthicum in Real World SOA. To that end, he offers half a dozen tips on understanding service patterns.
The news beat: Zend Technologies releases the Zend Platform 3.0 PHP application server to enhance commercial deployments. Xerox's research arm Palo Alto Research Center pens a deal with startup Powerset that aims to unveil by year's end a search engine to take on Google. And Intel researchers have built an 80-core chip that the chipmaker claims can crank more than trillions of floating point operations while consuming less electricity than a typical desktop PC processor.
Columnist's corner: Evoking those Dateline episodes where the online sexual predators fall head over heels into virtual love with an undercover law enforcement officer, Roger Grimes explains in this week's installment of Security Adviser that "as the father of four children, including three teenage daughters, I love the Internet." Why? Because, thanks to technology, "we're catching a thousand criminals at a time." Moreover, those who get caught are being locked up faster than ever.

Quote of the day: Time for Wi-Fi
Many network administrators have done one of two things with wireless: either removed it entirely because they just got tired of the signal problems and security hassles, or got it working enough that they can simply forget about it and use it simply as another connection medium. -- Oliver Rist. Time to plug into Wi-Fi.

A contrarian's view of Metro Wi-Fi
Best of the blogs: Municipal Wi-Fi certainly has its advantages and a plethora of backers, including me, but Ephraim Schwartz does have a point when he writes that with e-mail, IM and obviously voice all accessible via cell phone, ubiquitous Internet access begins to lose its luster. "Besides giving advertisers another way to reach into my wallet, I am wondering what the real benefit is to the citizens of a city? My guess is when it comes down to it, not much," he posits in Who needs Metro Wi-Fi?. At least one reader comments in dissent.
Podcasts: Girding up for grids. In this cast: For storage grids to emerge from the confusion cloud surrounding them, definitions and boundaries need to be sculpted, and soon. Tune into Storage Sprawl.
The news beat: Big guns including Microsoft, Novell, Oracle and Sun are putting open source into turmoil and Red Hat investors are scared. In the continuing energy-efficient hardware battles, IBM says its servers use less power than Hewlett-Packard's, a claim the latter of course denies. And Google recruits the founders of iRows, a browser-based spreadsheet service.
Gripe Line: Having trouble tracking down a rebate? You're not the only one. Ed Foster shares the experience of one reader who is taking a complaint all the way to the State Attorney General's office regarding two Home Depot rebates that remain unfulfilled. And Foster has an idea to put rebate companies into a deep freeze. "Try to deal with retailers like Office Max and Best Buy that are generally eliminating mail-in rebates."

Columnists' corner: While telecoms have been busy promoting the advantages of WiMax, Ephraim Schwartz investigates what's behind the push for WiMax. And it's not necessarily about serving customers. "End-users and corporate users may not have much say in how this plays out in the end," Schwartz reports.
From the feature well: A new approach to an old IT problem is emerging. It's known as master data management, and it can help heal the sad state of data in most back offices. "Similar to a complete SOA deployment a complete master data management effort is a huge undertaking, one that takes years and consumes a lot of resources with marginal interim benefit," explains Galen Gruman in Reopening the data mart. Gruman also offers a few small steps for getting started.
Podcasts: Real World SOA looks at considering semantics when building a service-oriented architecture. "Application semantics is something we're always going to deal with whether it's integration, SOA or just making two applications communicate with each other," explains host David Linthicum. "If you can't get semantics right ... then you can't pass go." Tune in here.
The news beat: At its Oracle OpenWorld user conference, Oracle pushes SOA in the form of Fusion middleware and unveils WebCenter Suite, a new toolbox for integrating portals, applications and Web 2.0 technologies. Hewlett-Packard CEO Mark Hurd, meanwhile, speaks at Oracle's show about HP plans to streamline operations so it has fewer, but deeper, partnerships. And AMD foreshadows its own 'Fusion' -- which will be born from placing an x86 chip and a graphics processor onto a single piece of silicon.

IDC: Attack of the BlackBerry clones
Wireless: No, it's not a cheesy horror flick. Market researcher IDC says that there may be trouble ahead for BlackBerry, particularly in the form of growing competition for its largely untapped space. And who is riding those tracks right behind RIM? You guessed it ... Microsoft and its cadre of Windows Mobile handset OEMs.
From the analysts: This week David Margulius takes on a handful of IT conspiracy theories. Such as behind-the-scenes master plans of Google and Sun who, by the way, are in cahoots to score tons of dark fiber, and lots worse. But even they don't know about the power companies quietly steering everyone toward broadband over power lines by selling them energy-efficient light bulbs that render wireless networks fuzzy at best. The truth is in here. Well, perhaps not the whole truth, but at least more about these and other theories.
Notes from the field: This week Cringe's tales span from Kona, Hawaii (HP chairman Patricia Dunn) to the Amazon (think WiMax for the far reaches of Earth), with a taste of what they shovel in Washington (no clarification needed on that one, methinks) somewhere along the route. Not to worry, though, stepping back to reality he visits Microsoft's 'MeTube' and then washes it all down with this video of Diet Coke and Mentos mixologists. HP on the skids, Microsoft's online vids.
The news beat: The notebook battery debacle just won't end. In the latest, Toshiba says it will exchange 830,000 more Sony batteries, though it claims there are no safety issues. Dell, meanwhile, expands its own recall and Fujitsu considers taking action. And, in news that has nothing to do with batteries that blow up, IBM gets into karaoke.

Special report: "Despite the hype, the truth is that RFID deployments made little headway in 2005. New standards, prohibitive costs, and the lack of upper-level business context left most companies tuned out to this much-ballyhooed technology...But hope is here." The package RF-enable your enterprise looks at the long road to RFID interoperability, and next generation RFID tools that expand the market.
App dev: Borland today is building out its application lifecycle management wares by adding what it calls a 'requirements definition package.' Borland's Caliber DefineIT focuses on the definition stage of application development and enables developers to "visually specify requirements and execute graphical storyboards."
Security: Roger Grimes looks at how Microsoft bypasses HOSTS file in certain circumstances.
Quoteworthy: I love when a call comes in, especially on a holiday morning, where my services are needed and solutions are easily provided. At least that's what I always hope for...Have contingency plans, I have backups of backups, because its always the Friday afternoon before a holiday when things go bad.-- Bob Garza. Don't forget Web server backups.
The news beat: AMD seeks Microsoft documents in its antitrust lawsuit against Intel. A new IE patch breaks the Siebel client. And H&R blocks saves $1 million on hardware purchases by using virtualization technologies.

Don't throw out that BlackBerry just yet
Wireless: The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office rejected five of the seven claims that last year a court ruled RIM infringed upon with its BlackBerry. "The ruling marks an unusual twist in the long-running lawsuit," writes Nancy Gohring of the IDG News Service. "Because the patent review process and the legal proceedings happen independently of each other, it's not known yet how the patent rejection could affect RIM's future." What's more, the U.S. government is wary of a partial BlackBerry service shut down because it could hamper response to emergencies. Instead, government lawyers wrote, no injunction should be issued until the problem has been solved.
Columnists' corner: Microsoft says that Release 2 of its Windows Storage Server 2003 is coming soon. Oliver Rist looks at the new features it will bring in Enterprise Windows. First and foremost is single-instance storage, a.k.a. SIS.
Security: The first bug in beta 2 of Internet Explorer 7 has been found. As of now, it causes browsers to crash, but the vulnerability could feasibly be tweaked to run unauthorized code on a PC.
Applications: Cranky Salesforce.com users call for updates and service-level agreements after two recent outages.
The news beat: A preview of Windows Vista will feature 'Sidebar' and 'Gadgets' for adding mini-applications to the desktop, Verizon expands its Ethernet footprint worldwide, and MySQL opens a subsidiary in Japan.

Wireless: The U.S. Supreme Court says it will not hear the patent infringement suit between RIM and NTP, thereby clearing the way for a U.S. district court to potentially impose a permanent injunction that could disrupt RIM's wildly popular BlackBerry service. RIM, however, maintains that an injunction is not necessary because it could pay royalties to NTP.
Search: Google News breaks free of its beta testing phase, and adds a handful of new search-based features.
Q&A: In an interview with Paul Krill, SpikeSource CEO Kim Polese discusses a range of topics, including the complexities of open source, the success of Java, and the impact outsourcing has on jobs here in The States.
Best of the blogs: Oliver Rist suggests that any SMBs on the Microsoft platform should check out the new Microsoft Small Business +, a suite of mostly-free IT tools, training, newsletter, and an enhanced tech support offering that is free for the next 45 days.

Another battle brewing in wireless e-mail realm
Wireless: Visto today is suing Microsoft charging that the software giant improperly used patented Visto technologies in its Windows Mobile 5.0 software for wirelessly accessing e-mail. The suit seeks monetary damages and a permanent injunction preventing Microsoft from shipping Windows Mobile 5.0.
Hot review: The InfoWorld Test Center props open 1U servers from Gateway, Hewlett-Packard, MPC and Supermicro. These slim picks prove themselves to be more than just anonymous nodes in a cluster or Web farm and, instead, pack some of the same features typically found in application or file servers. "With a formatted capacity of as much as 1.6TB, dual 3.8GHz Xeons, 12GB RAM, and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, one of these small servers will handle most computing chores short of a full-on database system," writes senior contributing editor Logan Harbaugh.
Best of the blogs: Keeping his screencasting alive, Jon Udell this time collects episodes of NPR's Fresh Air by time-shifting streaming audio to an MP3 format, in A breath of fresh air. A Rube Goldberg approach, indeed, but it gets the job done.
Columnists' Corner: While some folks are already seeing visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads, our storage guru Mario Apicella is dreaming about holographic storage, which, he points out, is finally becoming more reality than figment. The specs: A device based on holographic storage will be able to store hundreds of gigabytes or more on a single compact medium, at speeds of hundreds of megabytes per second with a data transfer size about 1 million bits.
The news beat: Startup Medis Technologies, at CES next month, will show off fuel cell power packs that can power or recharge electronic gadgets, Philips says it is open to M&A options for its chip arm, Kazaa owners face contempt charges in Australia, and China's 99Bill to offer payment service for blogs.

Gartner: Put BlackBerry deployments on hold
Mobile computing: Analyst house Gartner Group issued a statement warning enterprises to cease giving users new Blackberry devices until it becomes clear exactly how the patent infringement suit against RIM will impact its service. Gartner's advice comes after a U.S. federal judge opened the door to a possible injunction that would stop sales of BlackBerry mobile e-mail devices, and shut down BlackBerry service in the U.S.
Hot review: Sun's newly released Sun Fire T2000 UltraSparc T1-based server is primed for running multi-threaded applications. The T2000 is the middle ground between Sun's big honkin' high-end servers and its lower-performing boxes. On the inside, the UltraSparc T1 "is truly a revolutionary processor."
Best of the blogs: Jon Udell pens a letter to Dear Abby suggesting why employers should consider blogging to be a good practice not only for existing employees, but also for prospective ones.
Quoteworthy: Why is Google weak in nearly everything new it tries to do? Yes, its search is manna from heaven. And yes, that's a big deal: I love Google's search, use it hourly, and shudder at the thought of pre-Google life on the Internet. But Google stumbles on everything else it tries. Some swear by Gmail but, come on, it's a toy compared to Outlook, and it's not even very good vis-a-vis Zimbra/Oddpost. But think beyond Gmail and what do you have? Not much. -- Matt Asay, in Google: Too developer-ish for its own good?
IM: Yahoo's IM gains dial-in and dial-out features that will enable users to rent phone numbers and then receive calls through an IM interface. Vendor IMlogic, meanwhile, warns that a new breed of malicious bots that attack IM is on the loose and spreads by sending instant messages to everyone on a user's buddy list.
Columnists' Corner: Tom Yager's wife gave him an earful, but it wasn't about spending too much time on his computer. "I'm still using a PC. How could you let that happen?" she fired. You see, she wanted a Mac.
