Cisco to buy EMC?

This rumor has been for quite sometime and I personally think that John Chambers wants to up the ante by swallowing the beast.

EMC Corp (EMC.N: Quote, Profile, Research) shares rose as much as 6.3 percent on Wednesday on market speculation that the world's largest maker of corporate storage equipment could be bought.

EMC spokesman Dave Farmer declined comment, saying the company never responds to market rumors or speculation.

Jefferies & Co analyst Bill Choi said the speculation surfaced late Wednesday morning, but that he did not know what caused it to emerge.

"I am not sure I know anything that supports this rumor. It comes back now and then. The last time it was in full force was in May," Choi said.

Choi and Pacific Growth Equities analyst Kaushik Roy said the most likely company to be interested in buying EMC would be Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO.O: Quote, Profile, Research).

    interesting.
    but Chambers is interested in Consumer business.
    Makes more sense to buy Western Digital or Maxtor.

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op
