Here is what has hit our radar screens in the past week:

Getting Green Computers: Because reducing your carbon footprint is becoming all the rage, how can your IT do the same?  Law.com has a green guidelines for buying and using computers, but most come from computer maker Dell.  If you don't follow one of the recommendations to donate the equipment when you refresh, we suggest you talk to a respected recycler like GigaBiter (full disclosure: they are a SAGE client).

iPhones Making Corporate Inroads: On the heels of Salesforce.com unveiled its iPhone strategy and Google revamping its search page for it, comes this article talking about how the iPhone's ease-of-use is forcing its way inside corporate walls. Integration with Exchange/Outlook may put it over the top.
