http://cwflyris.computerworld.com/t/2894764/158421455/100837/0/
Removing administrative rights from Windows users can have
transformative security benefits. But legacy apps, IT workload, and
cultural issues often get in the way. This whitepaper compares other
techniques to deliver the same results.

Burning bootable DVDs
By Sandra Henry-Stocker, ITworld.com

One of the messages that you don't want to see when getting ready to
upgrade a system to Solaris 10 is "can't open boot device". The problems
this kind of error suggests, such as bad CD/DVD reader or improper
device alias, can be troublesome. So, when I ran into this problem on a
Friday afternoon, I was not amused. I had tried various boot commands,
but got the same basic response each time...

The iPhone software FAQ
By Macworld staff

In about two hours on Thursday, Apple rolled out a massive amount of
information about allowing independent software developers to create
programs for the iPhone. SDK, SQLite, core data, App Stores -- who can
make sense of it all? Well, we're going to give it a go.

Volcano-top thoughts on an Internet world
By Martyn Williams, IDG News Service

The top of the Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii is quite a contrast with the
beaches and warm water that surround this island in the Pacific. Here at
4,200 meters there's still a deep covering of snow, and temperatures
plunge below zero as soon as the sun goes down. The technology at the
volcano top amid the harsh weather reminded me of the differences the
Internet has made to many lives in the past 15 years.

Intel prepares for EU antitrust hearing on Tuesday
http://cwflyris.computerworld.com/t/2894764/158421455/102065/0/
