Instead, we bring you a look at electronic voting machines, which will be used by 30% of the voters in 27 states and the District of Columbia this year. Are they a godsend, an election fraud waiting to happen, or something that will simply guarantee job security to lawyers for years to come? E-voting's big test comes today <http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/1101e-votbigt.html?net> Red Sox IT department caches in on World Series Our editors in the home office are rabid Red Sox fans, and they couldn't resist this story that matches their love of the team with a cool network application. Yes, it's all about a proxy appliance from Blue Coat Systems that allowed the Sox to avoid a costly WAN upgrade. But it's also a chance for Executive Editor Bob Brown to remind everyone who won the World Series. <http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/110104redsox.html?net> Intel's Pentium 4 tops out at 3.8 GHz on Nov. 15 In two weeks, Intel will increase the clock speed of its Pentium 4 processor for possibly the last time as the company heads into a new era for its desktop processor designs. <http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/1101intelpenti.html?net> Tandberg expands videoconferencing line Tandberg Monday rolled out three videoconferencing appliances targeted at the desktop and small group conferences and are all capable of H.264 video compression and AES encryption. <http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/1101tandberg.html?net> Today on Layer 8, where we say go exercise your democracy muscle: Employee tries to kill boss via coffee; robots take 'robotiquette' lessons; everyone on the planet has a cell phone; and the start of our latest Weekly Caption Contest; all this today and more at your home for not-just-networking news. <http://www.nwfusion.com/weblogs/layer8/?net> _______________________________________________________________ To contact: Jeff Caruso Jeff Caruso is managing editor of online news for Network World.
