If you’ve got one of Apple’s Vision Pro headsets, you should be exploring what feeds the emerging ecosystem rather than sitting back watching wall-sized TV.
Come Sunday, #SB44--the official Twitter hashtag that the NFL has designated for all tweets related to Super Bowl XLIV--will no doubt top Twitter's trending topics. You can rely on Jim Nantz and Phil Simms to call the play-by-play of the game on CBS, but if you want additional analysis, or the inside scoop on what's happening during commercial breaks and timeouts, look to the sports analysts and football fans tweeting live--some right from Sun Life Stadium.

Recently, we discussed how 2006 saw the growth of bandwidth-hungry applications such as CBS offering live feeds of NCAA’s March Madness and allowing fans to view tournament games for free on NCAASports.com.

It’s easy to forget that performance is not simply an issue of network speeds and feeds. There are a lot of factors that contribute to the experience of end users who are trying to access Web applications to execute a transaction, download a file, or browse enterprise content.
Network managers today worry about much more than speeds, feeds and network uptime. In addition to keeping the network humming along, they have also been tasked to ensure applications work optimally -- for a distributed end-user community.
Who says speeds and feeds are passé? Who says network interface cards are a commodity? If you look at the latest 10 Gigabit Ethernet activity, the speed of NICs is very much at the forefront of industry competition.
Web 2.0 technologies such as wikis, blogs and RSS feeds are taking off in the enterprise, according to a new report from advisory firm Nemertes Research.

So easy in fact that it is now possible for you to include news and articles of interest on your site from many well-known sources with just a few clicks.
With the possibility of a Yahoo acquisition still uncertain, Microsoft is pouring hundreds of millions of additional investment dollars into its Online Services Business (OSB) in an aggressive effort to compete with Google in online advertising.
The Tolly Group recently conducted an unusual test for Extreme Networks. The testing firm compared Extreme's switches to its competitors not on speeds and feeds - but instead on how much power the switches consume.

The HP blade chassis we tested takes up 6U worth of space. A dual redundant configuration requires two 208V AC 30 amp feeds; one power distribution unit can power several full blade chassis and/or other gear, depending on configuration. Up to three may be needed for a maximum 42U configuration; the power distribution units are connected together via a back-of-rack bus. HP recommends 208V AC 3-phase power and "Telco-48VDC power" can be used in lieu of 208V AC.
