That points to the switch being the issue, not the Internet connection.

Thats what I was thinking or they have some sort of reverse proxy that got f***ed up.

That would be super easy to check on your own PC too.

I dont know they dont pay me to fix computers/internet, so my only concern is whether I can screw around on it. If I cant, that means no work is getting done out of protest.

This is why BYOD is killing productivity, you can lock down a PC but not my ipad or iphone

They dont lock down our computers. Ive actually had to go to unsavory sites for work.

Like Soxtalk for example...

Nice, using PlayOn I can now utilize hbo go via a PS3 app.

Anybody buying Mountain Lion for Apple? Worth getting? The features don't impress me, but maybe there's something I'm missing.

It's only $20, probably will get it.

I want Google Fiber.

 

The network will deliver symmetric 1 gigabit connections to households across the city. That’s about 100 times faster than most current residential broadband connections in the U.S. There will be no monthly caps or overage charges. Google Fiber will also come with 1 terabyte of cloud storage and HD TV service. Users in Kansas City will have to pay a $300 fee to get the service installed in their houses. The monthly price for the 1 gigabit Internet connection and TV service will be $120/month. Users who just want the Internet service will have to pay $70/month.

 

Users who just want a basic 5 Mbps Internet connection will be able to get this for free for at least the next 7 years, as long as they pay the $300 construction fee. Google will also offer free gigabit connectivity to schools.

Yeah, me too. Hopefully it will roll out to more cities.

That's so worth it.

My company is testing and deploying it for all of our laptops so I can give a report when I get it.

Hey Rock, what programs/apps do you guys use to implement iPhones and iPads into your company's email, calendars, intranet, etc?

 

Or do you guys just use mostly Apple software to begin with?

We are 100% gmail/google platform so we use the native email client with the "exchange" function. You utilize your imap password.

 

As far as application access for ipads etc we use our own product which is essentially federated single sign on and shows up as a portal in a box basically.

 

We are ALL macs and ONE Dell for about 400 people.

At my company we use RSA's iphone app to log in via VPN (we're switching vendors soon, most likely to Entrust).

 

We have also built SAP apps that allow our sales reps to access SAP and pretty much order, sell, whatever they need to do for any of our customers through their phone. Our sales reps no longer carry around laptops, it's pretty cool.

Alot like what we do but we integrate with those two factor guys and dont require a VPN. Do you work for a big company here? Maybe you are a customer. I have about every large company in the midwest area under my umbrella.

Yea I do, I'm sure you can guess it, large MRO distribution company.

Manufacturing, Repair, Operational

Ahh...we use something called Airwatch and something called Junos Pulse to log into our VPN. I'm one of the first people to get a corporate iPhone so our IT department seems to be a bit lost.

Ah ok, there are a few. One I am working on right now to help with federation to cloud and internal apps and I have many of the others as customers. One of the largest in the area is down in Peoria which allows me to see the "real" illinois

 

The way we work with Iphone and Ipad apps is to ensure that you dont store user names and passwords in your keychain and use a protocol called OAuth2 to use an encrypted token to SSO you into the apps but also allow revocation of said token if you are laid off. Good way to control devices but not actually CONTROL them since almost nobody buys iphones for employees now.

I've heard of Airwatch.

 

We've had iPhones incorporated for a few years now, it's nice being at a company that really values IT and pushes these types of innovation because honestly it's what drives our sales force.

We're the market leader in MRO, based out of Lake Forest.

VPN on devices is tough, especially since most people are bringing their own these days. We allow you to log on to the apps themselves instead of having to maintain a VPN session. Ipads are really making cloud applications valuable but at the same time weakening security. For us, it means alot more business. For example a local Pharma company is now using ipads to manage shipping of product instead of those RFID scanners because you can take a picture of the pallets before they leave the warehouse. You can also then track who the person was that approved the shipment because of the token on the device. Pretty f***ing cool stuff.
