Leaves are falling and Halloween is right around the corner. Eager pumpkin carvers are preparing orange masterpieces to decorate their porches, but did you know the jack-o'-lantern once served an entirely different purpose?
The ancient tradition of the jack-o'-lantern was once believed to ward off unwanted spirits, scaring off monsters that might otherwise go bump in the night.

Relying on end-of-life technology carries substantial risks that can put your business model in jeopardy. In order to deliver reliable service to customers and ensure that their sensitive data is safe, you need technology that is up to the task.

Some folks not only like to get outdoors, they like to get up in the clouds in a hot-air balloon. The 5th Dimension in 1967’s “Up, Up and Away” said the world’s “a nicer place” up there. Ballooning originated in France in the 1780s and has grown in popularity ever since.
It’s a busy week…you’re on the road and slammed with meetings. There won’t be much downtime between obligations, and you need to get creative about working on the go. Starbucks, hotel business centers and lobbies, and co-working office spaces are all prime candidates for work.
You know it’s not good for you, but somehow you can’t let go…of your relationship with old technology. As an example, many users feel that Windows XP was the high point in Windows Operating Systems.
