Top 10 most inspiring moments in IT

Dear Den,

Welcome to the Daily Technology Newsletter from vnunet.com:


**************************** Advertisement ***************************

Until recently, the burden of interoperability has rested on the
shoulders of the IT professional. With the collaboration between
Microsoft and Novell, however, this is no longer the case.

Register today and hear Microsoft and Novell discuss with Michael
Vizard, editorial director of Ziff Davis Enterprise, how mixed-source
virtualisation can help improve operational efficiency, and the work
being done to help manage these environments.

McAfee highlights perils of offshoring sensitive data

Dear Den,

The latest Security News from vnunet.com:


**************************** Advertisement ***************************

Until recently, the burden of interoperability has rested on the
shoulders of the IT professional. With the collaboration between
Microsoft and Novell, however, this is no longer the case.

Register today and hear Microsoft and Novell discuss with Michael
Vizard, editorial director of Ziff Davis Enterprise, how mixed-source
virtualisation can help improve operational efficiency, and the work
being done to help manage these environments.

Sony Ericsson F305 Hello Kitty Edition

Posted: 29 Jan 2009 03:00 AM PST

f305-hello-kitty
Well well, what have we here? Another Hello Kitty cell phone in the market? Seriously, there is more than enough of such feline-laden handsets that it gets old and fast, but somehow, there seems to be a strong enough market demand for it that the Sony Ericsson F305 Hello Kitty edition won’t be the last to hit the market. The F305 caters mainly for folks who want to get a fair bit of gaming done on their phone, featuring dedicated gaming keys, stereo speakers that are supposedly above the industry average, a Memory Stick card slot, stereo Bluetooth connectivity and an integrated FM radio. We say keep portable gaming to handheld consoles, while phones should remain as just that - communication tools.

Canine Treadmill

Posted: 29 Jan 2009 02:55 AM PST

Dogs are lovable pets, and many of them do need plenty of exercise to stay healthy both physically and mentally. The Canine Treadmill from Hammacher was developed specially for that purpose – it allows your four legged friend to get all the exercise required without having to go outside and smell the smog (if you live in a densely populated city, that is). It comes with controls to determine the inclination, speed and distance, and the 0.5hp motor is able to move the treadmill at speeds ranging from 0.3 to 5 mph. A recessed treat holder is there to reward all of Fido’s hard work. One thing though, the master ought to get a treadmill for himself since you shouldn’t just leave your dog as it is, as it ought to have a pack leader (you) to be with it when it walks so that it knows its place in the hierarchy.

tweetunderSo Valentine’s day is only a couple of weeks away, and you want to get cheeky in the bedroom. Hmmmm, what could you possibly do to spice things up for your Twitter-maniac boyfriend? Besides all those things crossing your mind right now, you could  play the Wii (remember Wii Fit Girl?) in these terribly geeky “Tweet This” boy shorts to set the mood. They’re available in red and black over at www.EatSleepTweet.com for only $10. Now go tweet this and get yourself a pair.
