re.Source Partners Offers you an "IT Bailout"
Where is the value in an empty seat?
Most companies have laid-off workers. Most used computers. Unused computers with an average residual value of $500.00 to $3000.00 can be turned back into dollars.
Leasing that equipment? Now your company is paying monthly for idle technology.
Let Re-Source “Bail You Out” by:
- Evaluating buyouts, returns, and redeployments for the equipment that you have on lease
- Redeploying unused IT equipment from one location to another where it can be used
- Purchasing your unused or retired PCs, Servers, Phones, Switches, Hubs, etc.
- Destroying your Hard Drive Data to the levels of the Department of Defense
- Removing or de-installing your unused IT
Vista SP2 beta due next weekThe next update to Windows Vista will enter beta testing next week, bringing with it support for Blu-ray drives, among other enhancements.
In a blog posting on Friday, Microsoft confirmed that a beta version of Windows Vista Service Pack 2 will be released next week.
US Government Aims to End Trash Exporting
The “tech trash” subject is a controversial one in the U.S. and abroad. For the last decade, the U.S. has been shipping growing amounts of electronics trash to foreign countries, particularly third world and developing nations. China is among the prime targets, and despite laws put in place against the practice, the trash continues to pour in.
The U.S. government, particularly Congress, has grown increasingly upset about the image the U.S. is projecting by shipping its tech trash overseas. Now they are looking to act with new e-waste legislation on the table. U.S. Rep. Gene Green (D-Texas), the chairman of the House Subcommittee on Environment and Hazardous Materials, last week introduced legislation which would ban the export of toxic e-waste to developing nations. Analysts predict the legislation might have enough support to pass by next year.
Security flaw revealed in T-Mobile's Google phone
Just days after the T-Mobile G1 smartphone went on the market, a group of security researchers have found what they call a serious flaw in the Android software from Google that runs it.
One of the researchers, Charles A. Miller, notified Google of the flaw this week and said he was publicizing it now because he believed that cellphone users were not generally aware that increasingly sophisticated smartphones faced the same threats that plague Internet-connected personal computers.
