Meru's new WLAN controller is perfect for SMBs

Controllers for wireless LANs are now available in a dizzying array of implementations: the traditional appliance, distributed into access points (often called "controllerless"), running as software in virtual machines, and even completely resident in the cloud. There are pros and cons to each of these strategies, but the traditional appliance-based controller remains a popular choice among those who want every WLAN element required resident in their shop. The controller is also a logical spot for the required management functionality, simplifying the implementation of many – and particularly smaller – networks today.

AT&T backs Microsoft's dispute over warrant for emails held abroad

AT&T is backing Microsoft in its challenge of a U.S. search warrant for private email communications located in a facility in Dublin, Ireland.The telecommunications company on Thursday filed in a New York court asking permission to submit an amicus curiae brief in support of Microsoft. Described as a "friend of the court," an amicus curiae is not directly involved in a litigation but believes it may be impacted or has views on the matter before the court.Verizon Communications also filed this week in opposition of the warrant in a dispute that is regarded as having far-reaching implications on the ability of U.S. tech companies to win the trust of customers abroad for their services including cloud computing.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE

Apple starts exchange program for iPhone adapters that could overheat

Apple started an exchange program for iPhone USB power adapters that "may overheat and pose a safety risk."The affected models are the European USB power adapters supplied with the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, shipped between Oct. 2009 and Sept. 2012 in 37 countries, the company said Friday. They were also sold separately as accessories, it said.Those adapters may overheat in rare cases, Apple said, prompting it to offer to exchange affected power adapters for new, redesigned ones free of charge at Apple retail stores or authorized service providers. An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment on how Apple determined that the adapters posed a safety risk.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE
