Welcome to the morning edition of the iTnewswire.

This morning, most remote workers claim to be aware of security issues, but routinely engage in dangerous activities such as sharing work computers with non-employees, opening unknown emails and hijacking neighbours' wireless networks.

The bulldog spirit that drove Microsoft's come-from-behind successes in the past will have to be called upon again in the online video market, where archrival Google took a big step forward with the US$1.65 billion acquisition of YouTube.

Small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) in Asia will spend more than US$500m on Internet phone calls this year, researchers have predicted.

Gartner is predicting a period of major IT infrastructure upheaval over the next five years, as organisations move platforms towards more virtual and user-centric environments.

US researchers have been learning lessons from the humble rat in an attempt to develop artificial whiskers for engineering applications.

Is there a viable business model in YouTube? Can Microsoft make a counter attack? Why not mail your comments?
