Quote of the day
Here's a sneak peak from our upcoming story on Enterprise Content Distribution Networks, compliments of one Mr. Sean Doherty.
The final enterprise-networking frontier isn't as far away as you'd think. It sits beyond the firewall of the central computing center, at branch offices and remote locations. Employees there have enough time to get coffee while their Web pages load, which makes the idea of engaging in a training session or viewing a corporate speech that appears as a talking head in a Post-It-sized window, well, just out there. We can put satellites into orbit and send people to the moon, so why can't we deliver applications and data across networks at warp speed?
This story will be published on Monday along with an interview with Sean. So stay tuned.

Another day, another MS security hole...but for the Mac? That's right. Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Office apps for both OS 9.x and OS X come equipped with a particularly nasty buffer overflow vulnerability. Like most Office-based vulnerabilities this one allows an attacker to either freeze the computer or execute a user-level command. Thankfully, Scott Culp and friends have generated a quick patch, available now for download. Of course, you can also grab it from your Software Update tool.

Building a smarter web Here's a great SFGate story from the daddy of all things Web, Tim Berners-Lee. Not content to simply build upon existing information-generating tools, Tim wants to build a semantic Web, one that can offload hands-on data management tasks.
