Microsoft certification: What's it worth?
In these days of tight budgets, it's increasingly difficult to get budget approval for even absolute and critical necessities. So how does a network administrator, IT manager or chief technology officer cost-justify the time and expense involved in training and retraining staff on current and future technology.

THE MISSING LINK
China gags Google
Blocked in Beijing, shunned in Shanghai -- there is no "googling" in China. The government has evidently pulled the search engine off the tracks. It seems the politicians don't care for the content Google pulls up, particularly pornography, anything associated with the banned spiritual movement Falun Gong and information believed to be a threat to national security. So the government has thrown up some kind of great firewall to keep Google out. But there is a workaround. Chinese surfers can hop on Yahoo, which is still available and uses Google for searches.
