One of the most popular brands of gear in all of geekdom is Apple. Pretty much everything Steve and his fruity cohorts make turns out to be gold, other than Apple TV anyway.

In some urban areas where there are lots of cars and people the fastest way to get around is often a bike or walking. In more spread out rural areas riding a bike to work can mean a trek of many miles.

4G mobile networks are coming and in a few limited areas 4G is already here with Clearwire and Sprint. Those two firms are the only companies who bet on WiMax for 4G in the US.

If one went down, they were out of business until the machine came back up. The scary part was that they were only backing up once a week and were using CDRs to make the backups. Dell has unveiled a new backup solution for businesses that is much more efficient than CDs or tape backups called the PowerVault DL2100.
Data security is at the front of many minds in the business world. With the ease that data can be copied to and from portable devices today and the fact that these devices are easily lost or stolen means sensitive data has to be protected.
