What are your thoughts on ‘booth babes’?
This is a good example of people taking themselves too seriously. Booth babes have been around since my first visits to Comdex and Networld/Interop in the early 1990s (and well before then I presume). The companies exhibiting at these shows are there to sell, even be outrageous, so they can gain some attention. Whether you [...]

Are you surprised by the switch from second to third platform technologies?
It’s funny, I’ve never even heard of “third platform”. I’m not surprised by the numbers though. These technologies are all the rage. I suspect the reasoning behind PC and Ethernet stagnation is that many businesses already have that infrastructure in place and, perhaps, they’re not spending additional money on new technologies. But who really knows? [...]

What can CIOs do to counter the spread of cyber attacks?
It’s relatively simple: Know what you’ve got Understand how it’s at risk Do something about it It’s numbers 2 and 3 that so many people have trouble with.
