Right up to and until the machine is infected without using VPN...once they're compromised, bringing up VPN allows that worm to poop out port 80 request through your network all it wants (and hence has two way communication into your soft-chewy center.)
I think part of the article is trying to say that users can enable their own ssh tunnels to home, and thus if their home network is compromised there is an easy route into the office intranet.
But how is this not the case for ANY connection from a home network to the office...VPN opens up the same issues too.
What's funny is, based on Microsoft and Apples experiences with virtual environments, you'd think Microsoft would take the whole backwards compatibility miasma and throw it into a Connectix/Virtual PC environment.
Build the whole OS as a tight, single codebase that supports VMs, then let the VMs handle backwards compatibility. I never understood why 100% of the population has to suffer for the 3% that wants that parallel port handheld scanner to work.
Remember the last round of huge company consolidation? The TW/AOL group and msnbc folks kinda wish they could forget.
Apple is a GREAT hw/sw company, Steve might -own- hw/sw and the media it runs on, but it'd be best to keep them seperate entities in his checkbook ledger.
There's a buncha OTHER symbiotes that tag along for your ride. And I dunno bout you, but when my gut flora gets unhappy, _I_ get unhappy, and those feelings of explosive decompressions aren't good for MY health either.
Better than the v600 by a good margin. Bout the same as a Nokia 6820 I had at the time. It's a quadband phone, so it'll get whatever GPRS reception is available. It's short of memory, but the V3(i?) has a slot for miniSD.
It's got a flat crummy addressbook.
The RAZR and its ilk are standing on the shoulders of marginal work (like the v600)...Motorola tends to make the first few iterations, then bugfix, then make a good stable product. It's entirely possible that the Linux models aren't ready for primetime yet. (This is based on my experience with four v600's, a MPx220, and a RAZR.)
Having Bittorrented the whole first series, I'm both delighted and annoyed I'll have to watch it all over again before catching new episodes. If you hvan't seen it yet, you're in for a TREAT!
You have a sealed box unit that's been tested to pass UL requirements for fire resistance and has been pounded to within an inch of it's life in development (yeah yeah, they never put the power supply on a scrap of deep shag, whatever)
And someone's selling additonal cooling for it? Makes as much sence as a water cooler add-on to your coffemaker.

Listen, I work for 'the man'. I've had ties into government for quite a long while. The 'Man' doesn't have enough eyes to look at all the data in question.
Targeted advertising is not a BAD THING. In fact, if the statistics show I'm likely to buy a new cell phone, and someone uses that information to offer me one at a good price, more power to them. When they do a dictionarey attack against my domain name to send me completely unsolicited mail...that's another kettle of fish, and not really related to a right to privacy.
Your demographics are known. The only way they wouldn't be, is if you lived in another country...other than that, you've got a birth certificate, and hence, a demographically significant presence in the database.
But more than that, you've got a driver's license, a checking account, and a mailing address.
Dude, you're screwed!
Don't buy a car, don't have a credit card, don't buy a house, don't rent a movie, and for chrissakes don't every buy anything online!
But don't think 'they' don't know who you are. 'They' just don't care.
Personally, if you break the law, I WANT them to know about you. If you cause me or mine bodily harm, I WANT them to have the information necessary to put you away.
The more they know about me, the less likely they'll stick me for something I didn't do.
Ever get a credit report? It's a Very interesting piece of paper. And it's got information on it you cannot PREVENT 'them' from having.
So you'd best learn to live with it, it's as avoidable as sunrise.
More importantly, Wells Fargo ACTIVELY tests and updates support for browsers. I've noticed it won't work for beta versions of browsers, but very very soon after the browser gos gold, support is added. I've been very impressed with their attention to detail on their web related stuff.
Have you held a ROKR and RAZR at the same time? It's like Motorola can make a gadget pretty, or functional, but not both at the same time.
What's most puzzling is: It's all the same OS. Their cheapest and most expensive phones have an almost identical menu structure. Making a Java/iTunes app shouldn't have taken as long as it did.
Lastly. A RAZR is free with a 2 year contract. A 512mb shuffle (which holds more songs) is $80. The two of them together in the same pocket is a better solution than the ROKR....and will go longer on a charge!
We've got a public access wifi point in the building for visiting salsefolks and people from other government departments.
Open you laptop and you'll get 'do you want to attach to PublicWifi?'
It's firewalled off, URL filtered, and aside from http(s), DHCP, DNS, SSH and VPN, nothing else can get through. Further, those ports will only attach to outside IPs. All traffic is monitored, and there are notices in all meeting rooms that Your security is Your problem.
This is a solution that protects OUR network, has zero admin overhead, and still permits the resource...So that's now illegal?
Maximum Bob was a GREAT mini-series...something like 7 episodes. I loved every one of them. It show on TV, then sank from sight, never to be seen again.

They've already committed to migrating off G4/G5 by the end of the year. I suspect you won't have long to wait.

Are they aware that it's 618, not 666? Perhaps Satan's bad at Math?
Apple held an event in it's 'Cafeteria(*)' fer chrissakes!
When they pull out the stops, it isn't in an event of this level.
Overpriced leather case aside, the stuff they rolled out was worth holding a minor event over...That's what this was, a minor event.
*=yeah, it wasn't the Cafeteria, but it was held in a location they already own, it's cheap floorspace to hold an announcement.

Cus, you know, in 800 a.d. we were generating a whole lotta greenhouse gasses too.
I'm not gonna say it isn't happening, but it calls to mind a quite from last year's Dr Who:
"You spent soo much time worrying that you never considerd you'd survive."
I'm fully sure a little heat won't kill us off. Make us grumpy? Yeah, change our diet? yup. Dead? nah.

To time how long it takes to get this kind of power in a single $75 valu-edition graphics card. My bet is 1Q2008.
I mean, really, how does your current video card stack up to a dual-card solution, circa 1996?

You guys aren't thinking progressively enough...Max Headroom had it right.
They don't want to just control copying, next they'll want to remove your TV's OFF switch!

(heh, and you know what they say about the size of a guys feet....what?)
And still no mention of onboard RAM. If I were a betting man, I'd say iTunes won't work til you shell out the add'l dough for a miniSD card.
Here's hoping it has more than the current RAZR's 5 mb of storage...that's one item that hasn't yet surfaced on the rumor sites.
