Verizon's Droid Launch: Your Complete Guide
Can you feel the tremors? Verizon's hotly anticipated Motorola Droid finally arrives on Friday, and -- if the earth-rumbling ads are to be believed -- we'll be feeling its force all over the world.
RIM BlackBerry Bold 9700 (T-Mobile) Smartphone
RIM's BlackBerry Bold 9700 is the finest BlackBerry to date, combining the best of the BlackBerry Tour 9630 and the BlackBerry Bold 9000 in a slim and refined package. People looking for a major update to the original Bold might be disappointed, but BlackBerry fans will appreciate the handset's subtle design tweaks and upgrades.
21.5- and 27-inch iMacs (Late 2009)
Featuring bigger and better screens and shiny new mice, the physical changes to the aluminum iMac in this update are the most dramatic since it was introduced over two years ago, but the speed improvements are marginal at best.
iMac (Late 2009) benchmarks
Apple recently updated its popular iMac line of desktop computers to include larger screens, more standard memory and bigger hard drives. Three of the four new configurations--two 21.5-inch models and one 27-inch model--feature 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo processors and are available now. Macworld Lab has the 3.06GHz trio and we've put them to the test. (A fourth standard configuration, a 2.66GHz Intel Core i5-based 27-inch model, will be the first iMac to sport a quad-core processor. It should be available later this month.)
Sonos All-in-One Music Player Sounds Great
I've reviewed lots of products from Sonos, makers of multiroom network music streaming components. I've called their gear elegant and reliable and great-sounding, but I've never called it inexpensive. At $399, however, the company's new ZonePlayer S5 is quite affordable, though it won't be the right option for everyone.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
