Cisco’s Big Switch

Combined with virtualization, the company’s new mega-bandwidth equipment promises to supercharge data centers. A network switch that’s capable of routing 15 terabits of data per second–the equivalent of moving the entire contents of Wikipedia in a hundredth of a second, or downloading every movie available on Netflix in about 40 seconds. Now this is something that definitely will give way to IPTV and HD video on demand. The HD-DVD/Blu-Ray war has ended. Save the planet stop using plastic media all-together.

Advancing in the Job market

The Job market can be a tough place when you’re looking for a job. But if you’re already in a job position it isn’t that hard to advance within the company. I found this great article over at Forbes.com; here is a short transcript from the article:

Sometimes you’ve got to show the higher-ups you can do the job before they give it to you.

Forward-thinking employees know that and are taking on additional responsibility to prove they should get promoted or switch departments altogether. Yes, it takes additional planning–and lots of extra hours at the office–but the effort can pay off.

iPhone Carole

Joy to the world, the iPhone’s here
Of coolness we shall sing.
Let shopping carte prepare some room,
make way for consumer boom.
For a phone that does great things,
Has a thousand clips and rings,
A touch screen that’s fit,
that’s fit for Kings.
Joy is deferred, the masses sigh;
Our plan’s not A-T-T.
And if we have to change plans soon,
in order to download iTunes,
Friends in-network won’t be free,
Calls on Metro we won’t see,
And we’ll pay damn early termination fees.
