Microsoft’s Windows 8 Preview event videos now available
The consumer preview of Windows 8 wasn’t the only operating system code Microsoft dropped today. The company also released the Windows Server “8” beta, a work-in-progress version of the next generation of Microsoft’s general-purpose server operating system, which the company calls “possibly the most significant release of Windows Server ever.”
Windows Server 8 (Microsoft is calling it Windows Server “8”, quotation marks included, leaving open the possibility that they might call it something else, but we will omit them for the remainder of this article) is really the first version of Microsoft’s server OS to be built with virtualization and cloud deployments in mind. While Windows Server 2008 may have been the first to support Hyper-V, it and the rest of Microsoft’s enterprise services weren’t designed for Hyper-V environments from the ground up. In Windows Server 8’s case, virtualization of servers is a fundamental reason for some of the biggest architectural changes it features—such as the new architecture of Active Directory’s Domain Services, which makes it easier to virtualize domain controllers and to script configuration of Active Directory tasks for quick deployment to the cloud. And Windows 8 Server’s server management tools treat virtual disk images and physical servers as equal citizens.

As anticipated, Facebook announced today its page insights product will now update in real time.
This gives page owners instant access to insights such as People Talking About This, and Page post metrics including “reach” and “engaged users.” Previously this data was updated every 48 hours. The information will only be visible within the insights dashboard, not inline with posts as it was previously.
Real-time page insights will be made available to all page admins over the next few weeks.
In January 2011, Facebook tried to show insights in real time underneath each page post. Many page owners found the data inconsistent with actual performance. It is very technically difficult to achieve real-time insights at the scale Facebook is working on. There were more than 37 million pages with 10 or more Likes as of Dec. 31, 2011, according to regulatory filings made by Facebook ahead of its initial public offering.
Having all insights in real time instead of on a two-day delay isn’t likely to change most page owners behavior, but it could help organizations better track how their posts perform each hour. We talk more about the implications of real-time insights here.

Facebook page insights go real time
Colorado federal authorities have decrypted a laptop seized from a bank-fraud defendant, mooting a judge’s order that the defendant unlock the hard drive so the government could use its contents as evidence against her.
The development ends a contentious legal showdown over whether forcing a defendant to decrypt a laptop is a breach of the Fifth Amendment right against compelled self incrimination.
The authorities seized the encrypted Toshiba laptop from defendant Ramona Fricosu in 2010 with valid court warrants while investigating alleged mortgage fraud, and demanded she decrypt it. Colorado U.S. District Judge Robert Blackburn ordered the woman in January to decrypt the laptop by the end of February. The judge refused to stay his decision to allow Fricosu time to appeal.
