Open Source VoIP on Campus, Part 2
Along with the basic call flow architecture, perhaps the most important aspect to consider when implementing Voice over Internet Protocol telephony on a college campus is security. One standard approach to VoIP security involves limiting the full use of IP telephony to the enterprise campus, behind perimeter firewalls, with connectivity to the outside world taking place only through PSTN gateways.
Google In-House Lawyers Find Unusual Perks, Groundbreaking Work
Finding the right sort of lawyer to fit Google's playful ethos and steely business sense is -- judging by the army of recruiters assigned to the job -- a challenge. But it's not difficult to see why lawyers are lining up to work at the world's biggest Internet company. Aside from the perks, Google lawyers face legal issues that are the first of their kind. The groundbreaking nature of the work is the reason why Google still doesn't have a panel of outside counsel, says European GC Nigel Jones.

Toyota to Unveil New 2009 Corolla, Matrix in Vegas
The importance of the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas, which focuses on the automotive aftermarket, has grown in recent years, as Honda, Mitsubishi and Toyota have all used the event to launch new vehicles and concepts. This year, Toyota is upping the ante with plans to unveil its redesigned 2009 Corolla there on Oct. 31.
The Corolla has aged well up to now and is still one of the best-selling cars in the country. However, it certainly deserves this redesign. Toyota also announced today it will roll out the 2009 Matrix at SEMA. The mini-ute/wagon/hatchback shares an assembly line with the Pontiac Vibe, which will also get a new design this year, though we?re unsure at which show GM will roll it out.
We?ll have more information on the new Corolla and Matrix as Halloween approaches.
