Ouch. Want to know how badly RIM is doing? So badly that one of its production plants is straight-up bailing out of the BlackBerry production business. Celestica is a company widely know throughout supply chain organizations for production solutions, and as of now, it still helps RIM produce BlackBerry smartphones. But that's changing, and soon. Within the next three to six months, it will wind down its manufacturing services for Research in Motion. The company estimates that prior to any recoveries, its restructuring charges will not exceed $35 million. That's pretty much it for the release; they kept it short and sweet. But reading between the lines, there's a lot more to this. RIM is trimming...

IBM recently was granted a patent for the technology to create an external RAM enclosure. IBM's current concept calls for the device to be comprised of three major parts; an external RAM enclosure for the add-on memory, a DRAM slot adapter that is installed like normal RAM, and a cable which connects the two. According to IBM the goal of the product is to provide a temporary solution to upgrading memory in everything from laptops, and PDAs to desktops while also allowing users to easily swap memory between systems. IBM claims that their external enclosure will provide four memory slots for every one DRAM slot within a PC. Furthermore, when the external RAM enclosure is not plugged in...

Windows Vista brought users a new security feature called User Account Control, or UAC for short. Some like it, some find it to be annoying, and Apple even made a humorous commercial that made fun of UAC. Of course you can just turn UAC off, and some do, but that may or may not be the optimal solution. After all, UAC is designed to be helpful, but not everyone wants to see it so often. Here's a solution you can try, but please make sure your system is well protected before following these steps: "Click Start and Control Panel. Switch to Classic View (if you haven't already) and click on the Administration Tools icon. In the list that opens click on Local Security Policy, and in the next...

While the article suggests $16 million in losses for unauthorized access and theft for 2006, the actual amount is likely much greater since many violations go unreported. A single violation could easily result in losses of this magnitude when the loss is associated with confidential data from a Fortune 500 company. While some IT managers circumnavigate this problem by simply isolating critical data and prohibit it from being transferred to mobil devices, this is not a practical solution in todays mobile society. I protect sensitive information using EncFS, a Linux encrypted virtual file system. EncFS requires a typed password to decrypt (on the fly) certain folders on my laptop. While effective,...
