SMB Tech News Today; 4/26

* Dell gets into solid state, too. The Dell guys won't let Sony get the best of 'em, so they're introing a solid state disk option on the Latitude line of notebooks. Hey, solid disks are nice, but I wish they'd get this exploding battery thing under control first. Seems to me that solid disks could take a back seat until they make sure my crotch doesn't catch fire. (Source: InfoWorld)

* Web 2.0 security rears ugly head. It had to happen sometime. So much work in getting Web 2.0 glitz up on the Web that security has taken a back seat. So now, things like the Samy worm pop up and exploit the new tech. If your SMB is based on that, better pay attention now rather than get fried later. (Source: PC World)

* New Internet speed record set. Some Internet2 researchers just set a new speed record: 9.08Gbps. Hithertofore (it's a word!), achieved only in LAN settings using 10Gbps + fiber tech. Wonder how long it'll take Verizon to make this part of their backbone. Probably be beaming to work by then. (Source: BetaNews)

* Hitachi releases new enterprise hard disks. UP to 1TB in capacity (want one of THOSE!!) and speeds up to 10K rpm. What's 'enterprise' seems to be size and the channel they're selling through. (Source: DailyTech)
