    I actually have an demo with air-watch later on this week. But my company is looking at them for their app deployment ( app store) and app management capabilities. My company is so far trying to keep MDM solutions separate from MAM (and app store) solutions. It should be interesting how the...

    Projector Setup Questions

    I built a screen out of black out cloth and 1x3s for my Panasonic PTAX200U (720p unit).

    Encryption and Authentication

    I took an intro to cryptography class at school one summer and it was awesome. The math wasn't all that hard and when we talked about MD5, DES, or say Diffie-Hellman, it was cool to see how that math applied to real word stuff to make sense. Also, its interesting to see modular arithmetic...

    Is bandwidth limited on big networks?
