CHAPTER OF THE WEEK
'Group policies'
Windows Server 2003 offers extensive control over system configuration and user environments through group policy -- but to take full advantage of these controls, you'll need to read a detailed tutorial. The first section of this chapter from the Ultimate Windows Server 2003 System Administrator's Guide introduces group policy concepts. The second section provides a number of implementation examples with ample screen shots and step-by-step explanations to keep you on track. The last section explores the underlying concepts of Microsoft's IntelliMirror, which uses different technologies available in Windows Server to provide more intelligent user interfacing.

High-tech sunglasses tell if you're cool, hot
![]()
Ray-Ban meets the mood ring, with a little mercury thrown in for good measure: A researcher at Yale University is working on sunglasses that can read body temperature. The idea here is not for Wayfarer wearers to show how cool (or hot) they are; rather, the shades are geared toward athletes. If they get too far above 98.6 degrees, an alarm goes off -- a reminder that it's time to gulp more H2O. Wireless technology helps make it all happen. The Yalie says the same technology can be used to help "read" a woman's fertility.
