Memorial Day 2008 LinkfestHere we are once again at the edge of a big weekend! But what to read? Some ideas: The VARBusiness 500 Wade into the complete VARBusiness 500 to see who's on top in the solution provider game. Don't miss our features on the challenges big solution providers face in staffing and other issues; or our look at how EDS stays at #1. Try out the search engine and see which VARBusiness 500 companies are in your neighborhood (either from a geographic or specialty perspective). The Channel Our next Virtual Trade Show, World Without Wires (Wireless & Mobility Symposium) is coming up on Thursday, June 12. See and hear the latest on wireless product and service opportunities for VARs, all from your own office. Virtualize all the servers you want. You'll still need to buy more, according to Gartner, who are tracking the worldwide growth in server sales. So close. Son-of-a-VAR David Archuleta winds up second on American Idol. Larry Hooper looks back at a great run. Technology and More We've mentioned the Bush administration Cyber Security Initiative before. Alex Wolfe has little patience for senators who are demanding more details: "Hey, of course much of the plan is secret! It's about security, stupid." Could Hollywood movies get their technology wrong? I'm shocked! We show off some of the howlers. Big, big iron: inside two of Microsoft's new data centers, now under construction. Running cars on beer? This could be one of the most significant stories of our time. (Just hope it doesn't raise the price of beer!) Life = Risk.

Memorial Day I'll end this, as I do each Memorial Day, with a link to the site of the American Battle Monuments Commission, the federal agency that maintanins our overseas military cemeteries and monuments. Take a look at some of the images on their cemeteries page, in particular, and take a minute to appreciate what it's taken to get us where we are. Have a great weekend!
