Building business-focused communications solutions
Joe Schurman, author of Microsoft Voice and Unified Communications shares 5 must-dos for getting the most out of unified communications, as well as some things to avoid.
This is part of a regular series that highlights new books and their authors. Also in this series: Joel Scambray on exposing the hacker's advantage, Brandon Carroll on getting back to basics with wireless networking, and Scott Hogg on planning a secure migration to IPv6.
"What I like best about Microsoft voice and unified communications," says Joe Schurman, "is that it includes the ability for developers to build customized, business-focused communications solutions, not just provide a telephony platform. No other voice and UC vendor can compete with this strategy."
Who should read this book? What can they expect to learn? This book is for anyone who wants to understand Microsoft’s vision and strategy within the voice and unified communications marketplace. Readers will learn about Microsoft’s voice and UC products within the consumer, small business, and enterprise markets, including product overviews, how to sell, configure, architect, secure, virtualize, and custom develop these solutions.

Where Google Chrome security fails: the password
I heard mention that the Chrome OS will have some sort of encryption available a la bitlocker. If it's possible to encrypt personal data using another password or key, then it may have potential for very secure data.... And Ubuntu has an 'encrypt home directory' option, perhaps google should follow suit.
