Israeli cabinet meetings now cell-phone-free zones
If you've ever been frustrated by someone using a mobile phone during a movie, class, or business meeting, pity poor Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert whose cabinet ministers would pull out their cells and start chatting in the middle of a meeting -- or, worse, surreptitiously dial reporters so that they could listen in on meetings that were supposed to be secret. Now ministers must check their mobiles at the door before cabinet meetings begin.

FROM THE NETWORK:

Delivering Critical Information With Real-Time Reporting
By 2010, 30% of Business Intelligence applications will need to work with data that is within 15 minutes of being current, according to Gartner. Why? Because ever increasing volume of business transactions are conducted online and 24x7, and making decisions based on day-old data is no longer driving competitive advantage. Join Computerworld, Ingres Corporation and GoldenGate Software executives as they review a unique solution, delivering a company's most important asset - critical information - supported by real-time reporting on a cutting edge open source enterprise database.

Meeting the Challenges of Virtualization and Tiered Storage Head-On
Many storage end - users are skeptical of competing vendor claims surrounding virtualization and tiered storage and rightly so. It is a significant change from tried-and-true practices and technologies, and IT executives and managers are naturally cautious about such a major type of deployment. However the fact remains that many end-users have been implementing virtualization and tiered storage environments over the past couple of years, and they are experiencing a significant positive impact on their business and IT operations. In this discussion, Scott Genereux will examine the apprehension - you might even say fear - that remains, and in the process of effectively moving beyond this new frontier.
