I’m guilty. Acknowledging is the first step to recovery, right? I don’t back up my digital data very thoroughly, no matter how important it is. In millennium-era fashion, I find the time to email the super essential stuff to myself, but deep down, I know that there’s a better way than filling the inbox of my web-based email server. Having my documents, pictures, music, etc. is really as easy as picking up a USB drive next time I am out, which would allow me to save all this content using just my home network.

Past blog posts have discussed various topics relating to Wireless-N, such as relevant news, benefits, and accessories, but did you know that this dynamic technology can be made radically more useful by utilizing Wireless-N at both the device (PC, gaming console, set-top box) and router (access point) levels?

If you are like millions of others, you will be doing some traveling this holiday season. If so, staying connected while away from home has never been easier—or potentially more dangerous.
Unsecured internet connections can leave you vulnerable to attacks by hackers, allowing your credit card, password, or other sensitive information be stolen, as well as exposing your laptop to viruses and other potential risks. To protect yourself, be sure to take security precautions whenever you are using an unsecured network.

The Cisco Media Solutions Group (CMSG) recently hosted an intimate private reception in New York City at the Roosevelt Hotel. The reception drew in guests from 27 different companies and featured an unplugged interview of Kara DioGuardi by Bill Werde, Editorial Director at Billboard. Many of you probably know Kara as the newest American Idol judge. But her career in the music industry is far more extensive: she’s the current Sr. VP of A&R at Warner Brothers Records and Owner of Arthouse Entertainment. She’s also a prolific songwriter and producer having collaborated with Grammy Award-winning artists Christina Aguilera, Santana, Kelly Clarkson, Céline Dion, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwoord, Marc Anthony, Pink, and many more.
Bill did an excellent job mixing up the conversation to cover as many topics as possible. Kara’s experience on American Idol naturally made the question list, as did a dialogue about writing for hit bands.

Do you remember the time when you got your first electronic toy for the holidays? Like any kid, you wanted to play with it that day. Then you experienced the disappointment of finding out you didn’t have batteries in the house and you’d have to wait to play another day. No fun!
Electronic toys that once proclaimed “Batteries Not Included” should now come with a new disclaimer – “Network Not Included,” because the best electronic entertainment today demands network connectivity for full enjoyment.

There’s no doubt about it – the band Paramore is hot. Fresh off a summer ’09 tour with No Doubt, the band released their third studio album “brand new eyes” in September and debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200. To top that off, the band just wound down a headlining tour covering 18 cities across the US in a little over a month during which they participated in countless promotional visits including a stop on the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. They head off to Europe next.
What does this hot band have in common with Cisco?
