VMware Upgrades ESX Hypervisor, Management Tools
VMware will upgrade its ESX Server hypervisor and its Virtual Infrastructure 3 management software before the end of the year, extending its popular VMotion tool's migration capability to storage as well as physical servers. VMotion as it exists today is part of Virtual Infrastructure 3. It is capable of moving a running virtual machine from one physical server to another without disrupting end users. It's a leading feature of Virtual Infrastructure 3. The capability is a boon to the operations staff, since a physical server can be taken down for maintenance whenever managers decide it is appropriate rather than when end users are absent. Now VMware is extending a similar capability to storage, where a virtual machine's underlying disk array may be shifted as well. The capability would allow old disks to be unplugged and new ones plugged in "and the end user knows nothing about it," said Bogomil Balkansky, senior director of product marketing in an interview.

This piece of paper has become an industry-specific, highly strategic marketing tool aimed at driving business. “When you talk with a dry cleaner, you have to understand what drives sales in that business and what incentives to give people to get them to do business there," says Gary Sledge, who with his wife, Denise, recently bought Valpak of Baton Rouge, a direct mailing franchise. “Valpak made a science of it, tracking how often certain categories need to mail and the average circulation they need to purchase to get the desired attention and the type offers that need to run."

What Is This ‘Iranian Provocation’ BS?
If and when there is a US attack on Iran, you can bet the pretext for it will be some act by Iran that the US media will present as a "dastardly" attack on innocent US forces. What we're seeing with this coverage of the latest confrontation between US and Iranian vessels is that we will not be getting the real story. As long as the Bush/Cheney administration continues to have that huge armada of war-primed vessels hugging Iran's coast, it is the US that is the aggressor, and it is the Bush/Cheney administration that must get the blame for the consequences. The American corporate media will also be responsible though, for our domestic news organizations are playing the willing propagandists here as willingly as did Pravda or TASS in the old Soviet Union.

Cross-border shopping: price comparisons
If a Canadian retailer sold goods at the same price as an American retailer, one would have to assume that operating costs and employees' wages, etc. would be similar. They're not. Look at Alberta. There are places that aren't even open because they can't get anyone to work! and some are even having to pay grossly inflated wages just to open shop. This is pretty much the argument Americans that hire illegals have. They can keep their costs down and offer the goods at a better price. Canada is rushing to expedite Visas for workers from foreign countries. We can't sustain this economy with no workers. .
