REGISTER FOR THE SEPTEMBER 26 WEBCAST, "COLLABORATE WITHOUT THE CHAOS:
EFFECTIVE COLLABORATION FOR GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT TEAMS" | Lotus
developerWorkds
Date: Wednesday, September 26, 2007, Time: 11am PT / 2pm ET, Duration: One
hour -- Remember the days when development teams were small and everyone
worked in the same building? Oh how the world has changed. In today's
demanding world of software development, global teams work around the
clock in
multiple locations. And with increased outsourcing and offshoring, your "co-
worker" may not even work for the same company or use the same tools
that you
use. In this new world, effective team collaboration is more important than
ever. IBM offers solutions that automate tasks between teams, make
communication easier, resolve problems faster, and document results so
everyone stays on the same page. Tune in to this enlightening full-length
video discussion led by technology insider and CMPTV Executive Producer Jon
Erickson and top IBM Collaboration Thought Leaders; Grady Booch, Don Boulia,
Charles Hill and Michael Green discuss how IBM helps global development
teams
work together like they were next door.

WashTech President, Member Testify on TAA in DC |
TechsUnite.org
WashTech President Marcus Courtney, and New Jersey member James Fusco,
testified before the House Ways and Means committee on June 14 to extend and
expand the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Act to include tech
workers. TAA
benefits are to help train workers who have seen their jobs leave due to
foreign competition.

Mainframes color IBM data centers green | IBM
IBM will consolidate some 3,900 computer servers onto about 30 System z
mainframes running the Linux operating system. The company expects the new
setup to use about 80 percent less energy than the current arrangement.

Lenovo chases Packard Bell | Yahoo Finance
Lenovo Group Ltd. the world's No. 3 maker of personal computers, wants
to take
over a mid-tier PC manufacturer valued at about $800 million to bolster a
barely profitable European arm.

Is there green in 'misfit' technologies? | CNET
Global warming spells bad news for polar bears, tropical nations and many
crops. But it just might give a boost to some less popular networking
standards. Utilities and appliance makers are trying to come up with ways to
save energy by reducing household power consumption, and part of the answer
may lie in some networking standards, such as Zigbee, and power line-based
communications that have so far seen only limited adoption.

IT companies move in on Romania | CNN Tech
Romanian programmers, such as Pohontu's team, are among the most
sought-after
in the world as large international IT companies turn to the east European
country to take advantage of strong computing and language skills
coupled with
cheap labor. Its computer literacy is not without its dark side -- the
country
has an unenviable reputation as a hotbed for computer fraud and a large
community of hackers. But legitimate IT is one of Romania's fastest growing
export sectors with turnover of about 1 billion euros ($1.38 billion).
Roughly
90 percent of some 1,000 IT companies in Romania are foreign-owned and the
government hopes exports will reach 1 billion euros in the next couple of
years. In February, Bill Gates opened a Microsoft Corp. technical support
center in Bucharest. The investment followed, among others, the launch of a
development center by
Amazon.com Inc in the university town of Iasi in 2005.

Is flash memory facing a physics crisis? | CNET
Flash memory will take over the world, if the laws of physics don't get it
first, according to one of the technology's biggest backers. On one
hand, NAND
flash--the kind of flash found inside digital cameras and MP3 players--is
crushing the competition, Eli Harari, CEO of SanDisk, said on Wednesday
at the
Flash Memory Summit here. NAND has made 1-inch hard drives obsolete.
Then it's
n to 1.8-inch hard drives and possibly larger 2.5-inch notebook hard drives,
Harari said.

HP buys Opsware for $1.6 billion | CNN Tech
Computer and printer maker Hewlett-Packard said Monday that it would acquire
Opsware Inc. for $1.6 billion to bolster its line-up of business software
offerings. HP said it would tender for all outstanding shares of Opsware,
a supplier of software used to automate computer data centers, at $14.25
each, a 38.6 percent premium to Opsware's closing price of $10.28 on Nasdaq
on Friday.

Life in an earthship | CNET
Imagine maintaining a steady 70 degrees in your house high in the New Mexico
desert, even as outside temperatures vary between 100 and minus-20, all
without spending a dime on power. Can't picture it? Owners of an innovative
type of housing known as earthships can.

Spock: Search's final frontier? | CNET
What newbie Web 2.0 company wouldn't want to become the next Google? Easier
said than done, of course, and if you had a nickel every time you heard that
prediction for a start-up, you'd be in Eric Schmidt's tax bracket. But if a
Google could come out of nowhere to blast past Yahoo, why can't another
unknown emerge to eat Google's lunch? Nobody at Spock is making that bold
claim just yet--the invitation-only search service went live only this
morning.

IBM Launches New Features for Power6-Based Servers | eWeek
New System p servers feature dual-core, four-thread processors that IBM
touts
as the world's fastest. IBM on Aug. 6 provided a sneak preview of a key new
feature for its new System p data center servers, which are powered by Big
Blue's next-generation Power6 dual-core, four-thread processors—a chip that
a company spokesperson unabashedly called "the fastest in the world."

Apple homeward bound with new iMacs, iLife | CNET
Apple's fourth major event of the year was a bit more understated than the
previous ones, but provided another glimpse of the company's view of the
personal computer. Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled new iMacs with aluminum and
glass exteriors, keeping the rumor mill honest this time. Apple's iMac is an
all-in-one computer where the motherboard sits behind a flat-panel display,
in a more streamlined approach to the traditional desktop PC.

Vodafone to keep Verizon Wireless Stake | eWeek

Stiff Fines Prompt Amex to Bolster Money-Laundering Vigilance | eWeek
Besides paying a hefty fine, the bank will be instituting new safeguards to
prevent money-laundering. American Express Bank International learned an
expensive lesson when it agreed on Aug. 6 to pay a stiff penalty to the
federal government after admitting that it failed to install and
maintain anti-
money-laundering software at its Miami office. The bank, which has about $1
billion in assets, must fork over a whopping $65 million, including $55
million in restitution and $10 million in penalties to the Department of the
Treasury, as a result of negligence in its banking and compliance
practices.

Google's purchase of Postini gets antitrust OK | CNET
Google has received U.S. antitrust approval to acquire Web-based security
provider Postini, U.S. officials said on Wednesday. Antitrust authorities
completed their review of the $625 million deal without taking any action to
block it, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission said in a notice. Last month,
Google said it planned to buy Postini to expand its package of online
applications to compete with Microsoft's Office.

AMD Ramps Up Dual-Core Opterons to 3GHz | eWeek
AMD improves its dual-core line before the quad-core Barcelona model debuts
later this month. In the weeks leading up to the debut of its quad-core
Opteron processor, Advanced Micro Devices has released several dual-core
models that offer clock speeds of 3GHz.
