Spent most of the day in the InnoTech conference in Austin, (thus the shortness of this post).

Network World: Cisco will move the market towards all-in-one branch solutions Cisco is moving towards integrating switching, routing, messaging, intrusion-prevention, network optimization, wireless LAN, VoIP, dessert topping and floor waxing into a single, all-in-one solution.

Rob Malda on Ten Years of Slashdot
By Brian Boyko Editor, Network Performance Daily For many years, Slashdot has been the gold standard of technical news online; the most successful blog that pre-dates the word “blog.” (By about two months, actually…) It has been a haven for the geeky and the nerdy and a cultural meme over the past decade. We spoke [...]
