A penny dropped from the top of a tall building could kill a pedestrian
A penny isn't the most aerodynamic of weapons. A combination of its shape and wind friction means that, tossed even from the 1,250-foot Empire State Building, it would travel fast enough merely to sting an unlucky pedestrian.

Clever network makes complex service architecture
Within a service-oriented architecture (SOA), the infrastructure building blocks of computing, storage and networking form the foundation. Cisco has challenged this concept by creating its own vision, called Service-Oriented Network Architecture (SONA), in which the network is the foundation for all IT, acting as the glue that holds together every aspect of IT infrastructure ? clients, servers and storage.

Integration Trends for 2006
B Eye Network: IT integration trends to follow in 2006: User interaction integration will focus on merging Web-based interfaces (portals) with the Microsoft Office desktop environment. Business process and application integration will revolve around Web services. Data integration will increasingly be seen as an enterprise issue requiring data competency centers. Master data management will also gain traction. The biggest problem: finding a way to integrate enterprise applications, which are typically based on Java, with work group applications, which tend to be based on .NET.
