  • Cisco Cius: A hands on preview

    Toss all preconceptions of the Cisco Cius out the door. This is not just another Android tablet. Instead, Cisco has taken great pains to position the Cius as a very different type of tablet. This is one device whose primary purpose lies less in competing head-to-head with the tablet masses, and more at changing how the enterprise does business.

  • Apple plans to democratise servers with its Mac OS X strategy

    Recently, Apple previewed more features that will be available in its upcoming release of Mac OS X 10.7, "Lion."
