Motion Revs Up New Rugged Tablets

Motion Revs Up New Rugged Tablets

We know, we know: these days most people want an ultra-slim laptop they can carry with them anywhere as easy as a digital media player. (That is, they want it in addition to their digital media player.) But for folks whose work has them on their feet all day in the field or running around a facility like a hospital—or in the case of, say, theater pros setting their lights—tablet PCs have definitely carved out a niche. It might not be practical to use a full keyboard and set up a notebook everywhere you go, but a tablet with an integrated handle and stylus might just do the job.

New Details Emerge on Ubuntu Mobile

Cult followers of the popular Ubuntu Linux distribution already know that their favorite operating system will make the jump from computers to mobile devices, but new details have begun to emerge recently. Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, formally added Ubuntu Mobile to its product page and more fully described its capabilities.

ISO Fails to Fast-Track Microsoft’s OOXML

ISO Fails to Fast-Track Microsoft

In a bit of a blow to Microsoft’s efforts to have its Open Office XML (OOXML) document format ratified as an international standard, members of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) failed to turn in enough "yes" votes to fast-track OOXML’s approval process. Of the 41 participating and observing members eligible to vote on the Joint Technical Committee 1, 17 voted in favor of fast-tracking OOXML, while 24 either voted against it or abstained. Omitting abstentions, that meant the proposal had a 53.12 percent approval; a two-thirds majority would have been required for it to pass. Microsoft also failed to get approval from the larger ISO membership, with 51 countries of 87 participating countries approving the motion: that’s 74 percent, just shy of the 75 percent required.

Sasser Worm Slithers Through Internet

First identified over the weekend, there are now at least four variants of the malicious worm. Just as a virus that affects humans can mutate and confound medical experts, each version of Sasser — labeled A, B, C, and D — poses slightly different challenges for information technology experts.

“Sasser is a successful and widely propagating worm with a somewhat benign impact to the end user,” said Chris Rouland of Internet Security Systems. “But people should absolutely remove it.”
