Like most everyone else, I hate meetings. Inc.com has a great article on how to make meeting effective. I wish I could make this required reading for people I work with.

I just got done watching the Nick Berg video. I am sick to my stomach. This drives home what we are dealing with in Iraq and around the world. I haven’t felt this way since 9/11/2001. We are beyond the bounds of conventional warfare. The Geneva Convention and standard rules of engagement no longer apply. There is no diplomatic solution. Diplomacy applies only to nation-states. Our enemy is not a nation-state. The only way to defeat this enemy is with better, more effective intelligence and Special Forces. We must unplug their networks -- all of their networks.

This is very cool. 100TB in a single rack. No further information regarding management software or support has been provided. Come on EMC, HP, IBM, time to catch up. The most storage EMC supports in a single rack configuration is 76.8TB in their CLARiion line.
