CNN Exchange allows viewers to personalize the news and we are pleased to be partnering with Dell to bring their message to this tech savvy, involved audience.”
Apple Exchanging MacBook Pro Batteries
Citing performance rather than safety issues, Apple Computer has introduced a free worldwide “exchange” program for some batteries sold with its Intel-based MacBook Pro line of portable computers.
Batteries eligible for the program were sold with MacBook Pro systems from February to May, 2006, and have the model number A1175 and a 12-digit serial number which ends with U7SA, U7SB or U7SC. Battery model and serial numbers are on the bottom of the battery: you have to remove it from the MacBook Pro in order to see them. (Be sure your computer is shut down or at least plugged into its power adapter before removing the battery!)
Microsoft to Exchange with Sony-Ericsson

The deal is another step in Microsoft’s larger move into the mobile handset marketplace, and is a benefit to Sony-Ericsson in its efforts to appeal to corporate and enterprise customers. Large organizations increasingly need their mobile users to connect reliably and security with “home base” systems standardized on Microsoft’s enterprise email, contact, calendar, and scheduling systems.

“We know customers’ pain. Security and privacy are more important than ever right now and, as an industry leader, we know Exchange and its industry partners have to offer an end-to-end solution to customers that will help fend off security threats at the gateway, on the mailbox server and at an end user’s mailbox,” said Kevin McCuistion, director of Exchange marketing and business development at Microsoft. “Microsoft’s philosophy is to stop viruses and spam at the network perimeter, keeping end users focused on the task at hand. We have provided a solid baseline of functionality in the core Exchange 2003 product, and now with these two tools partners can provide an additional layer of security.”
