The only major concern I have is battery life. You don't see any figures from the manufacturers or the hypervisor companies (aka. VMware) as to what this will do to the already short battery life of a smart phone that is heavily used. Additionally, what incentive does a customer have to buy a device that supports this? Granted a company could prefer one or the other, but the days of "You own X device or Y device only (ie. Blackberry - no iPhone)" are over and it defeats the purpose of BYOD.
The only workloads that you can't really virtualize tend to be things like OS/400, but that is where things like LPARs can come in OR workloads that do a lot of privileges calls to the CPU or a specific instruction set. Also there are a slew of non-technical reasons I've seen like in Healthcare or Pharma where a specific machine is written into a specification for drug manufacturing or such.
Even still there really aren't any workloads you can't virtualize and realize some sort of benefit from. Even those with high requirements for CPUs or Memory hogs can be virtualized. It's not always the best financial decision from the hardware cost and licenses, but most organizations benefit then from the ability to move the VM from one physical host to another to avoid downtime and easier backups. Having worked on a lot of the largest VMware deployments out there, I've yet to find an application we can't virtualize for some gain in performance (newer hardware) or get better resiliency (less downtime, easier backups, HA features outside of the OS).
The title to this is comepletely inaccurate. If the person that submitted the article would have read it they would have realized that it was hacked after several hours, however the person that did it said it took only 30 minutes for the person to complete his work. Care to reword this please?
Just realize that you never leave high school. There are still clics, there are still popular people, jocks, nerds etc... The sooner you realize this the sooner you realize it is hopeless.:)
Laws should be created to protect the rights of the individual. Creating laws that are designed to protect corporations defeats this purpose, by instead protecting the few that stand to profit from such laws. We as a society need to realize, even though it is much to late, that this is the case and needs to be rectified. Unfortunately since this is no utopia, and the people with money generally get their way, it will never happen.
As for a new proposition I must agree with the rest of the user community that no legislation is needed. If a company is concerned about piracy then THEY should be wholely responsible for creating their own protection against it. Take companies like Citrix for example that have low rates of piracy of their software. You get 32 days to use the software free of charge. If you want to continue you must register it online. It generates a key you must register that is 100% unique to each installation + hardware configuration, so you never get the same key twice. Sure you could hack that but the majority of people would not bother, plus the fact you have to reregister every so often is a pain, because you would have to reload your PC just to reinstall that software.
More and more people care more about if it works right that if it looks pretty. A prime example is Everquest, a mmorpg. As a player, sure I want it to look pretty, but I would rather have a game that works right than have to sit there and stare at a pretty Giant that has an arm in his head because the programmer didn't bother to check the code for glitches.

Down in the city I woke up to feeling the quake, but honestly it didn't feel very severe so I went back to sleep.
So should I tell you both off since I have a 5-digit UID?
Fingerprints are a great way to ID someone, but not for passwords.

Perhaps he saw the Trooper Clerics shorts and will get Kevin Smith involved, at least that would be more entertaining...

Anyways that is my 2 cents.

I thought it was a wonderful movie. It picked up where Dark City left off. The special effects were outstanding.
