October 23, 2008 Tech Talk
We continued our semester of Tech Talks on October 23, with Ken Hibbard of Data Domain. Mr. Hibbard discussed the importance of data storage, and how innovations in software and hardware are greatly improving data storage efficiency. In today's information-driven world, it was easy to see the relevance of this talk, as well as interesting to hear about some of the techniques of data-compression. We hope that you were able to make it!
September 9, 2008 Tech Talk
On September 9, ACM/AITP welcomed Jeff Crume of IBM for our first Tech Talk of the semester. Mr. Crume's presentation, "What Hackers Don't Want You to Know About Identity Management" gave us all some insight into some of the ways in which our online identities may be at risk. It was an eye-opening talk, and a great way to kick off ACM/AITP's semester!
You can view Mr. Crume's presentation slides here.
