Still, IT must meet high expectations for network speed, security and reliability. Perhaps that's why a surprising 45% have plans to deploy 802.11ac gear in production.

GOOG,FB: Google (GOOG) remains persona non grata on...

2:31 PM Google (GOOG) remains persona non grata on Facebook's (FB) FBX ad exchange, which delivers ads to users based on browsing activity. Facebook, which just stepped up its challenge to Google's display ad lead by purchasing Microsoft's Atlas platform, has granted AOL (previous), Adobe (ADBE), and other online ad players access, but DoubleClick Bid Manager, used by dozens of top ad buyers, isn't so lucky. However, AdWeek reports Facebook and Google continue to talk, and the former simply wants to "keep Google from comparing the quality of its inventory" with Facebook's. Read comments

"Older workers have become the victims of their own success. If they have done well over the years, gotten raises and promotions they inevitably become 'expensive' and as replaceable as 'old circuits.' Younger workers should consider the fact that they too will become older and have this to look forward to."
