John Chambers // president and CEO, Cisco
Chambers spent 2005 on the prowl for Cisco's next growth market and found video - the last quadrant in networking's so-called quadruple play of data, wireless, voice and video. Video on the corporate net is an obvious move for a router and VoIP gear maker. IP video to consumers is less obvious, but Chambers has been talking that up too. He'd like Cisco gear to be as prevalent in the next-generation digital home as it is in the enterprise wiring closet. He's also pushing Cisco into young technologies such as self-healing security and IP push-to-talk. His typical confident self, Chambers reportedly told analysts in December that Cisco will continue to grow at 10% to 15% a year (see related story).
Larry Ellison // CEO, Oracle
PeopleSoft, check. Retek, check. Siebel Systems, check. With his unwavering ability to set a long-term strategy for growth and his dogged determination to win a business battle, you get a CEO who resembles the Energizer Bunny - he keeps going and going (and growing and growing). And beyond the outright acquisitions comes the opportunity to win customers for Oracle's own products. For instance, both Retek and Siebel have been known for their strong integration with IBM's DB2. With Oracle now in charge, Ellison has two new crops of customers he can harvest. Even so, Ellison's most pressing enemy target is not IBM but SAP, Oracle's largest competitor in the enterprise application market.
Bill Gates // Chairman and chief software architect, Microsoft
Gates doesn't have to do much to capture the limelight - a testament to his industry might. Most recently, all lights shone on Gates sharing his vision of how Internet software services will revolutionize the world. With Gates hailing the software-as-a-service concept, we can expect stepped-up development activity well beyond Redmond. Software and services competitors as well as entrepreneurs will look to angle in on this Bill-blessed market.
Sam Palmisano // Chairman and CEO, IBM
Palmisano leads the world's largest network-industry company, No. 1 on the Network World 200, with 2004 revenue of $96 billion. In '05 he pushed the company toward small and midsize enterprise projects (though not by forgoing high-end implementations). With these targets in mind, he bought application service provider Corio and open source middleware maker GlueCode. Palmisano says he's focused on keeping IBM's wares from the perils of the commodity drainpipe and the revenue sinkhole caused by commoditization. He's doing so by creating a menu that stretches from free, à la carte offerings to classic supercomputers and multimillion-dollar outsourcing deals.
Joe Tucci // Chairman, president and CEO, EMC
In his five years as CEO, the straight-shooting Tucci has been recrafting EMC into one of the industry's megaplayers. In its '05 third-quarter earnings report, EMC showcased nine consecutive quarters of double-digit growth. Alongside that happy news, EMC's board handed Tucci the chairman position, which takes effect Jan. 1, 2006. Tucci envisions expanding EMC beyond enterprise storage into a systems management company, as demonstrated by his smart, hands-off approach to the ever more-successful VMware and his acquisition of network management vendor Smarts.
Ivan Seidenberg // Chairman and CEO, Verizon
In 2005, Seidenberg set himself on a big power trip - an $8.4 billion adventure that would land him atop a mountain of a communications services provider with annual revenue of more than $90 billion. As the year closed, he waited on clearance from several states so he could call MCI his own. But the true test of his power will come in '06 as he integrates the two companies. If successful, he'll launch Verizon into a secure future framed by coveted broadband, wireless, advanced IP and business services.
Edward Whitacre // Chairman and CEO, the new AT&T
Whether you think SBC /AT&T a foolish lark or a masterful move, you've got to admit the guy's got gumption. Orchestrating the $16 billion acquisition of an American icon - tarnished though it was - took guts, no matter how you look at it. Whitacre sees a big payoff in cost reductions, scale and the all-important enterprise customer base. But like Verizon's Seidenberg, the biggest test of his power will come in integration and next-generation strategizing.
> Next Power 50 section: Enterprise computing
Steve Ballmer // CEO, Microsoft
Security, development snafus with Windows Vista, the Linux threat - Ballmer had much to pour his energies into in '05. But it took Google to set Ballmer into a full roar. Call him territorial, but he just doesn't like upstart search companies encroaching on technology areas Microsoft has staked out or trying to persuade his employees to leave Redmond behind for Mountain View's greener pastures. His dander raised, Ballmer is more determined than ever to win the Web. On his watch, look for Windows developers to begin building applications that deliver software programs over the Internet and that bridge the desktop environment and the Internet.
Ian Foster // Co-founder, chief open source strategist and board member, Univa
Foster pops to mind when you think about people powering the grid movement. He has long promoted the notion of open source grid technology, a dream he turned into reality with the Globus tool kit and, in mid-2004, the formation of Univa to provide enterprise-class grid software and services. In 2005, Foster did his title proud, strategizing Univa's way into a deal that has IBM providing product development resources, technology assets and more.
Diane Greene // Co-founder and president, VMware
With the industry abuzz over virtualization, the unassuming Greene finds herself thrust into the spotlight. The VMware technology has become synonymous with server virtualization, and VMware as a company (now an independent operating unit of EMC) is a case study in business excellence. VMware is expected to clear as much as $400 million in revenue for '05, with the number of customers reaching 20,000. Look for Greene to exercise her power next year as she strives to proliferate the VMware platform and create a virtualization ecosystem (see in-depth profile).
Mark Hurd // President and CEO, HP
Not yet a year into his tenure as top honcho, Hurd has much to prove regarding his power to make HP a more competitive, smarter business. Certainly "doubling-down" in the server, storage and management software businesses, as Hurd has said he will do, is a good start to gaining power in the enterprise market. The same goes for improving customer service and getting the company's cost structure in line, two more of his top strategic initiatives.
Scott McNealy // Chairman and CEO, Sun
McNealy grabbed his share of the limelight in 2005 with the splashy StorageTek and SeeBeyond acquisitions. Noteworthy is that Sun is sitting on a whole lot of cash - $4.5 billion - and McNealy has hinted he'll continue shopping in 2006 as he attempts to grab a piece of the nascent service-oriented architecture market and the new enterprise applications it will spawn. In '05, McNealy also celebrated the 10th anniversary of Java, a not-so-subtle reminder of how long he has been pushing the industry toward a modularized, open source applications model. A buzz-generating joint marketing agreement between Google and Sun indicates that McNealy may have finally found a partner with the kind of distribution pull needed to take on his longtime operating system rival, Microsoft.
Paul Otellini // President and CEO, Intel
For Otellini, you might say power is all about wattage. That is, Otellini intends to stave off competitive thrusts and keep Intel at the forefront of the microprocessor business with a new chip-design architecture intended to deliver the best performance per watt of power consumed. Showcasing Intel's best, the new chips will be 64-bit capable and come with virtualization, LaGrande security technology and Active Management Technology. On the business side, Otellini racked up big power points when he secured a deal with Apple, which will now use Intel chips in its Macintosh computers rather than the IBM PowerPC chips to which it had been committed for 10 years running.
Kevin Rollins // President and CEO, Dell
Despite hiccups in Dell quarterly revenue in '05, Rollins remains his calm, cool and collected self. With unflagging confidence, in November he told MBA students at Peking University that he wasn't backing off his $56 billion annual revenue expectation. Also clear from other public statements is Rollins' commitment to getting Dell to the $80 billion mark, perhaps not by 2009 as he once insisted, but at some point in the foreseeable future. Success selling new high-end PCs - a strategy some equate to Toyota creating the Lexus brand - will be critical to boosting the bottom line. Less attention-grabbing, but still notable, are continued improvements in Dell's enterprise line, such as the new, dual-core PowerEdge database servers.
Hector Ruiz // Chairman, president and CEO, Advanced Micro Devices
What a year it's been for Ruiz since he made his debut on the '04 Power 50 list. His face has graced the cover of BusinessWeek as one of the best managers of the year, and Fortune magazine named him one of the most influential Latinos in business. The accolades are well deserved, as Ruiz continues finessing growth and garnering respect for this small but increasingly mighty chip maker. One testament to that: In the third quarter, AMD chalked up $1 billion in sales for the first time. As 2006 unfolds, Ruiz is sure to keep up the good fight - whether in a courtroom antitrust hearing, in AMD's R&D labs or out on the Street.
Matthew Szulik // CEO, Red Hat
Day in and day out, Szulik delivers the message that collaborative software development has power like nothing else. He's also delivered what many thought impossible - profitability in the open source world. Because of that, his power has grown immensely in 2005. Many vendor CEOs say they are forced into cuddling up to Szulik just to have a stake in the open source world. But Szulik doesn't take himself that seriously. At the Red Hat Summit he took the stage with a gospel choir. As he said in a later interview: "So to see a white guy up there with an African-American gospel choir should send a message to people about the importance of community" (see in-depth profile).
Daniel Warmenhoven // CEO and director, Network Appliance
You might call Warmenhoven a quiet giant. The low-key CEO has built NetApp into a billion-dollar-plus vendor for enterprise network storage while cultivating a corporate culture of trust and integrity. In late 2004, such achievements earned Warmenhoven recognition as Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year in the technology sector. But Warmenhoven is not averse to aggressive strategizing, either. He showed that in the April '05 decision giving IBM the OK to brand and resell NetApp gear. Though some industry watchers fear the move could negatively impact the company in the long term - creating brand confusion, for example - for now it's a smart deal that helps better position Warmenhoven to do battle against EMC.
> Next Power 50 section: Net Infrastructure
Charlie Giancarlo // Senior vice president and chief development officer, Cisco
This longtime Cisco star shot up even further in 2005 with yet another title added to his business card. He became chief development officer, taking over the top engineering role when Mario Mazzola retired in mid-summer. Giancarlo now oversees some 14,000 engineers, whom he'll no doubt charge with finding a product mix to make good on CEO John Chambers' promises of double-digit growth, particularly in video. Elsewhere, Giancarlo has been talking up the network's role in security and promising to deliver on another of Cisco's latest thrusts, the real-time, application-aware network.
Scott Kriens // CEO, Juniper Networks
During an October conference call, Kriens made light of the fact that enterprise product sales were up 17% quarter over quarter. "For a company looking to get into the enterprise, three-quarters of a billion dollars in business is not bad," he quipped. In all seriousness, Kriens has earned bragging rights this year for increasing enterprise sales of security and application-acceleration gear.
John McHugh // Vice president and general manager, HP ProCurve Networking
In '05, McHugh was everywhere, his presence requested at a variety of industry conferences. In mid-December, for example, he participated in an Interop Town Hall panel addressing the most important technologies for 2006. The desire for his insights is well warranted. He has led ProCurve into the No. 2 position in the Ethernet switch market, based on worldwide port shipments, according to Dell'Oro Group. McHugh wins kudos for his well-rounded enterprise strategy, which encompasses convergence, wireless LANs, WAN access and more.
Don Peterson // Chairman and CEO, Avaya
Thanks to Peterson's laser-like focus on Avaya's market niche - enterprise convergence gear - the company leads the market in various forms of IP telephony, according to multiple market research firms. With the recent acquisition of Nimcat Networks, a maker of peer-to-peer IP communications software, Peterson also has validated serverless VoIP. Peterson plans to integrate peer-to-peer phones with Avaya's other enterprise wares and use this product to push into the small and midsize business space. Watch for Peterson to move Avaya into advanced telephony tools, such as context-aware apps, speech and wireless, all key areas for the company's 2,000 researchers.
Greg Raleigh // President and CEO, Airgo Networks
Raleigh's baby, the Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO ) spec, has been called the most important wireless technology in the works. MIMO uses multiple transmitting and receiving antennas to broadcast signals faster and with more depth than traditional wireless antennas. As Raleigh awaits IEEE standardization for MIMO, he forges ahead with Airgo. Airgo also has been making waves, with wireless vendors lining up to embed the MIMO chipset in their wares.
Mark Spencer // President, Digium
At 27, Spencer has the youth and momentum to set the network industry spinning. He became famous in 2005, as the industry took notice of Asterisk, the open source PBX system he created, and of his continued pioneering work in open source telephony. Not only is Asterisk an intriguing open source option for VoIP, but as an open source hardware product it has become the proving ground for the entire open source movement. Spencer has been as admired for his marketing skill as for his technical abilities.
Jayshree Ullal // Senior vice president, Data Center, Switching and Security Technology Group, Cisco
As part of its July reorganization, Cisco top management testified to Ullal's power when it topped off her security responsibilities with storage and switching too. Ullal now oversees a business unit whose products represent almost half of the company's quarterly revenue, on average (see in-depth profile).
John Williams // Director, Auto-ID lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
When researchers at the Auto-ID lab at MIT talk about RFID technology, everyone listens. When Williams became the lab's director in April, one of his first missions was to launch an initiative to build a simulation of the EPCglobal Network. This came at the request of EPCglobal, a nonprofit clearinghouse of RFID information and standards-setting organization. Williams' project will study and model how RFID information flows within an enterprise and its supply chain. Williams also directs MIT's Intelligent Engineering Systems Lab, and is a recognized authority on large-scale simulations. Currently he's studying grid and agent technology to simulate the nation's critical information systems.
> Next Power 50 section: Enterprise network executives
David Barnes // Senior vice president and CIO, United Parcel Service
The CIO on Barnes' nameplate is new this year, but certainly not the business savvy and technology know-how that warrants such a title. A nearly 30-year company veteran, Barnes knows UPS' IT needs like nobody else. Now he has direct control of the company's $1 billion IT budget and the chance to set corporate strategy as a member of the UPS Management Committee. In his inaugural year as CIO, Barnes has focused on rolling out a next-generation driver terminal featuring built-in cellular, wireless LAN and Bluetooth systems.
Gordon Bither // Senior vice president, integrated network solutions, State Street
Don't denigrate managed services to Bither, an outspoken advocate of offloading routine network tasks to carriers so enterprise network architects can free their time for real business problems. Bither has handed over management of this institutional investment giant's new, state-of-the-art global WAN, an MPLS architecture, to AT&T and MCI. In his tenure, Bither and his technology team have improved service-delivery quality by 33% and increased productivity by 68%. His message for fellow network executives is that, if you can't make managed services work you're not going to remain competitive.
Robert Carter // Executive vice president and CIO, FedEx
Carter may not be as easily recognizable as the purple-and-orange FedEx corporate logo to the average American Joe. But his name and face are icons among the IT crowd. In '05, he crisscrossed the globe sharing his insight into such hot topics as business intelligence and IT transformation. Carter's words carry considerable weight, coming as they do from his experience transforming IT at the $27 billion company over the last three years. He is candid and articulate - characteristics welcomed by peers grappling with IT transformations of their own.
Lt. Gen. Charles Croom // Director, Defense Information Systems Agency
Handling IT for the president on down in the Department of Defense chain of command calls for someone marked by steadiness. Since assuming the DISA mantle in July, Croom has been that guy. He's reassessed the agency's multibillion Net-Centric Enterprise Services program, aimed at providing a secure, collaborative information-sharing environment among Defense Department constituents. In his approach to DISA projects such as this, Croom has made his stance clear: Do not reinvent the wheel for the sake of ownership; collaborate and share where possible. Powerful thoughts indeed.
Steve Elterich // President and CIO, Fidelity Investment Systems
Two billion dollars makes a whole lot of greenbacks, all at Elterich's disposal for IT spending at the largest U.S. mutual-fund provider and leading online brokerage. So what does one of the country's most senior-level enterprise technologists have on his power agenda for '06? As you might expect, better aligning IT to the business, with the twin goals of ensuring competitive advantage and enhancing customer service. Business services management, convergence, open source - these are a few of the technologies Fidelity Investments has tapped for getting there.
Craig Hinkley // Senior vice president and manager of strategy, architecture and security for enterprise access and desktop services, Bank of America
As architect of a 180,000 VoIP handset rollout - perhaps the world's largest - this native Australian is the biggest boomerang around when it comes to convergence. Although Bank of America's IP voice calls will traverse a Cisco network, Hinkley hasn't ruled out other vendors - including start-ups - for whatever down-the-road advanced functionality he deigns necessary. Apparently he believes in spreading the power (see in-depth profile).
Dianah Neff // CIO, city of Philadelphia
Neff's battle (largely against Verizon) to bring a high-speed meshed wireless network to Philadelphia was one of the industry's most fascinating dramas in 2005. In a contract eventually handed to Earthlink to build and manage this network, Neff set up a model of citywide wireless access that's similar to cities' model for cable TV(see related story ). Thanks to Neff, Internet access has become an official city utility (see related story).
John Partridge // President and CEO, Inovant, the global IT arm of Visa
Visa's technology visionary, Partridge leads an executive team of six technologists and heads a 25-person business operating committee that funds and builds all technology initiatives at Visa. He oversees decisions about VisaNet, which clears and settles transactions from $1 trillion worth of annual sales. He creates, runs and manages such services as dispute resolution tools and rewards systems for 21,000 Visa member banks. And he is the top gun for new application development. A major '05 accomplishment was the opening of a state-of-the-art data center for VisaNet. Partridge is everywhere Visa wants to be (see related story ).
Peter Quinn // CIO, commonwealth of Massachusetts
Quinn launched the commonwealth's IT strategy into the public eye this fall when he mandated that documents be stored in the XML-based Open Document Format (ODF), a decision that took on additional significance when Microsoft, which doesn't support ODF, went on the offensive. But in December, Quinn made the word processing giant bend at the knee - Microsoft announced that it would add ODF support to meet the state's mandate. In taking on Microsoft, Quinn has become a hero to open-standards advocates.
Fred Wettling // Manager of technology strategy, Bechtel
In a company of 40,000 employees, Wettling numbers among 18 Bechtel Fellows, a distinction he received last fall, when the $17 billion global contracting company honored him for his outstanding technology contributions. Lately that has meant Wettling's outspoken advocacy of the oft-maligned IPv6. Believing the next-generation protocol is a business imperative for security and access, Wettling spread the word throughout Bechtel and got the executive nod to begin a three-year migration project. No doubt Wettling will share his experiences. He is chairman of the Network Applications Consortium, and holds membership on the North American IPv6 Task Force, North American IPv6 Business Council and Cisco's enterprise and federal technical advisory boards.
> Next Power 50 section: Enterprise Apps
Shai Agassi // Executive board member, SAP
Agassi ended 2005 in a new enterprise-application landscape, with PeopleSoft and Siebel Systems subsumed under his major competitor, Oracle. But Agassi was ready - he has been remaking SAP into a more nimble company for years. At SAP TechEd in September, Agassi said he believes most enterprises are already in the "post-chasm" phase of adopting the service-oriented architecture, with SAP positioned to lead the market. He predicts 30% of SAP's customer base will soon be using the NetWeaver SOA platform, his baby.
Marc Benioff // Chairman and CEO, Salesforce.com
Benioff, the outspoken leader for the application services provider model, pulled off a coup against Oracle when he brought PeopleSoft's ex-CEO, Craig Conway, to the Salesforce.com board in October. Not that Benioff needs a lot of help. Salesforce.com is expected to report over $300 million in revenue for fiscal 2006, which ends in January, up from $176 million in fiscal 2005. Net income also doubled in fiscal 2006, to $7.3 million. Benioff reportedly eagerly awaits the Oracle/Siebel deal, ready to snag disenchanted Siebel customers. Benioff's industry stature continues to grow. He was named one of the top 15 innovators in the last 15 years at Network World's Demo conference.
Alfred Chuang // Founder, chairman and CEO, BEA Systems
Chuang has had a bustling year, continuing to stockpile his company's offerings in the application-services infrastructure market. Perhaps his biggest move was the summer acquisition of portal competitor Plumtree. Others were a telco-industry convergence platform, a next-generation JavaBeans presence engine and RFID middleware technology. Besides shopping for new technology, Chuang also proselytized BEA's next-generation brand, AquaLogic, which does what he calls SOA life-cycle management.
Steve Mills // Senior vice president and group executive, Software Group, IBM
In 2005, IBM established itself as an open source player, giving Mills the responsibility for executing its strategy and somehow do it profitably. Not to worry - under Mills' direction, IBM raked in $15.1 billion in software revenue in fiscal 2004, which made Mills' group the No. 1 software maker worldwide, IDC says. Mills plans on using a classic loss-leader strategy to convert IBM's considerable 2005 investments in open source initiatives and acquisitions - for example, its purchase of open source player GlueCode - into revenue and profit. He'll reel 'em in with the free stuff, then happily convert them to paying customers.
John Swainson // President and CEO, CA
Swainson, who learned the ropes as a 26-year IBM veteran, officially climbed into the top spot at the $35 billion software maker in February, after spending three months as CEO-elect. His appointment as CEO is a good omen for CA; his first plan of action is a complete overhaul of CA's corporate culture. Intent on fixing the company's dismal reputation for customer service, he has reorganized its executive management and changed the corporate name from the bulky Computer Associates International to the pithier CA. Swainson isn't press-shy, making himself as visible as possible while he orchestrates new product launches and woos customers.
Eric Schmidt // Chairman and CEO, Google
Schmidt's steering of Google has been so on-course in 2005 that his longtime rival - Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer - reportedly threw a violent tantrum in reaction to his successful recruiting of Microsoft employees. Microsoft also launched its own search engine in self-defense against Google - and the yearlong buzz that Google could be the one to topple Microsoft's PC interface monopoly. Making Microsoft jump is power in Schmidt's hands.
> Next Power 50 section: Network security
Kim Cameron // Chief architect of identity and access, Microsoft
Cameron has galvanized the industry into a discussion of digital identity with his "Seven Laws of Identity." In addition, he has wired together a virtual who's who as part of an everyone-invited effort to define the science of identity and its application to computing. The list includes his boss Bill Gates, open source leaders, Microsoft-bashers and academics (see in-depth profile).
Eva Chen // Co-founder and CEO, Trend Micro
In the year since taking over for her brother-in-law as CEO, Chen has moved decisively into emerging markets. Chen took on mobile phones with security software for Symbian operating system smart phones (such as Nokia). She attacked spyware in the enterprise with new products and pushed into anti-spam reputation services, making the latter move through the acquisition of Kelkea. She also partnered with wireless-router maker Netgear to beef up Trend Micro's presence in consumer markets. She did lose some face (and about $18 million) when Trend Micro released a buggy anti-virus update, but the company rebounded quickly from the costly gaff (see related story ).
George Samenuk // Chairman and CEO, McAfee
Samenuk has realized he doesn't have to expend energy in head-to-head combat with competitors such as Symantec. With a little creative thinking and strong products, he is reaching enterprise and consumer customers in new ways - and having financial success at it. For example, the relationship he struck with AOL to sell McAfee anti-virus and e-mail security wares has become a model for other service providers and is leading to unusual enterprise-customer wins, Samenuk says. He points to an agreement with Canada's ScotiaBank in which the bank will sell McAfee services to its online banking customers. He's also pushing McAfee with other clients, for instance, partnering with USB maker M-Systems to bring anti-virus technology to memory devices.
Gil Shwed // Founder, chairman and CEO, Check Point
In 2005, a maturing Shwed has steered his venerable firewall company in directions that bode well for both himself and the company. Among his top '05 moves was the purchase of open source intrusion-detection system Sourcefire. Although Shwed is vague about how he plans on integrating Sourcefire with Check Point products, most analysts say the technologies dovetail nicely. Shwed promises to keep open Snort, the popular Sourcefire tool. He's moving into the desktop too, acquiring Zone Labs for its endpoint security technology. And Shwed has countered encroaching hardware vendors by rolling out appliances broadened to include protection of Web and LAN traffic.
Paul Simmonds // Co-founder of the Jericho Forum; director of global information security, ICI
As one of the users who founded an industry consortium, Simmonds' influence is powerful indeed. His untiring energy has opened communication channels among international users to create next-generation security infrastructures in a no-perimeter world. Simmonds has attracted a who's who of global enterprises onto his governing board, including BP and Procter & Gamble. Its member roster of more than 50 end users is no less impressive. In 2005 Jericho completed a vision statement and began the technical, committee work to turn vision into standards. Simmonds also has been busy reaching out beyond the global biggies. At a Black Hat security conference, for instance, he organized a contest for papers that further the no-perimeters concept.
John Thompson // Chairman and CEO, Symantec
Thompson packs a punch with his pitch that Symantec and other security companies have to expand into areas such as storage and systems management to remain relevant. Some industry watchers may doubt his strategy, but he has certainly drawn attention with his plans to move Symantec beyond security and into data-storage management, via the Veritas acquisition. Non-security vendors - think Microsoft in particular - trying to move into Symantec's home court won't have an easy time against the man and his vision.
> Next Power 50 section: Service Providers
Jeffrey Citron // Chairman and CEO, Vonage
With rival Skype now part of eBay, all eyes are on Citron and where he will take Vonage next. One place he's not afraid to go is to the regulators. Taking a page out of the Baby Bell playbook, Citron complained to the FCC after discovering that an ISP allegedly was deliberately blocking Vonage calls. Another area of regulatory dispute has been Vonage's E911 capabilities. The company has been under pressure by states to improve its 911 services - which the company required subscribers to activate separately from the phone service. In October, Vonage announced that it would implement Covergence's Eclipse E911 system to address the criticism; its ability to do so bodes well for other VoIP providers. Earlier this month it announced that basic 911 service was available to all customers, and the trickier E911 - where emergency teams learn the physical address of the caller - was available at 900 emergency call centers and quickly expanding. With such issues addressed, rumors are flying as to whether Citron will take Vonage public or find a deep-pocketed suitor of his own.
Gary Forsee // CEO and president, Sprint Nextel
When Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast region shortly after Forsee assumed leadership of the newly merged Sprint Nextel, he may have felt more powerless than powerful during what should have been his moment of glory. But the generous response that Forsee oversaw at Sprint Nextel was powerful indeed: As of mid-September, the company had donated $6.5 million in relief, distributing wireless phones, pre-paid phone cards, meals and cash contributions. Now Forsee has turned his focus on issues such as wireless adoption for businesses, integrating VoIP and wireless, and IP migration. He'll be a force - like Katrina - with which other carriers must reckon.
Kevin Martin // Chairman, Federal Communications Commission
Martin's first year as FCC head was a cakewalk for him, as he pushed through several major initiatives with little opposition. He gave the nod for the Verizon/MCI and SBC/AT&T mergers, voted to end regulations requiring incumbent carriers to share DSL connections with competitors, and persuaded the FCC to require Internet carriers to tighten up their emergency services. Look for bigger tests of his power to come, however, as Martin undertakes IP services regulation and other more controversial issues in '06.

That Jim Halpert is such a charmer!
In a Wednesday appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, John Krasinski opened up about his "amazing" marriage to actress Emily Blunt.
PHOTOS: Star PDA
"It's one of those things where, as soon as you meet someone, you know," the 31-year old actor, who married Blunt, 28, in July 2010 said.
PHOTOS: Over-the-top Hollywood weddings
"You knew right away when you met her?" DeGeneres, 53, asked.
PHOTOS: Gorgeous celeb wedding pics
"Yes," The Office star answered emphatically. So did Blunt know instantly Krasinski was her future hubby? He quipped: "She says she [knew]! So I'm going to take that as a yes."
"I wasn't really looking for a relationship… And then I met her," he explained. "I was so nervous, and I was like 'I think I'm going to fall in love with her,' and as I shook her hand, I went, 'I like you.'"

Zynga Jumps: What Wall Street's Thinking
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Zynga (ZNGA - Get Report) shares surged after the social game maker posted revenue that was better than forecast and founder Marc Pincus announced he was stepping down from chief product officer at the company, allowing CEO Don Mattrick to take over the San Francisco-based company entirely.
San Francisco-based Zynga lost a penny a share on $161 million in revenue for the quarter, at the company's high end of its previous guidance, as the company achieved sequential growth across bookings, adjusted EBITDA, audience and mobile bookings mix for first time in 2 years. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were looking for a loss of 1 cent a share on $147 million in bookings.
"In Q1 our teams delivered a solid start to the year against our strategic frame of growing and sustaining our franchises, creating new hits and driving efficiencies. We have established a strong base for 2014 and believe we are pacing well for a year of growth," said Don Mattrick, CEO Zynga in the press release. "For the first time in two years, our teams delivered sequential growth across our key performance metrics including bookings, Adjusted EBITDA, mobile bookings mix and audience."
Separately, Zynga announced founder Mark Pincus would step down from his role as chief product officer, but would still continue to be chairman of the board.
Shares of Zynga surged in pre-market trading, gaining 5.9% to $4.68.
For 2014, Zynga expects bookings to be between $770 million and $810 million, with adjusted EBITDA between $70 million and $100 million. The company expects non-GAAP earnings to be between 1 and 3 cents a share. Zynga did not give revenue guidance for the full year. Analysts are expecting Zynga to generate $780.4 million in revenue for the quarter, earning 1 cent share on a non-GAAP basis.

Confirmed: PS3 Firmware v2.40 to be released July 2nd, 2008!

- SCEE have just announced that PS3 Firmware 2.40 will be made available on July 2nd, bringing PS3 owners some excellent new functionality. Read on for SCEE's press release...
Get more from online gaming on PLAYSTATION®3 with the Free 2.40 Firmware enhancement
PS3⢠to give online gamers the features they've been requesting: XMB⢠(XrossMediaBar) access in-game and trophies available in this free, automatic system upgrade
June 30, 2008: Sony Computer Entertainment Europe today announced new online gaming functionality for PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3â¢), which will become available on July 2, 2008 with the 2.40 enhancement, an automatic firmware upgrade that delivers several of the features most requested by gamers. Combined with PLAYSTATION®Network's unique service of free* online gaming, the enhancement makes PS3 an even more attractive platform of choice for the online gamer.
Firstly, the 2.40 enhancement allows XMB⢠(XrossMediaBar) access in-game. This means that you can access the PS3 menu at any time while playing most games, simply by tapping the PlayStation button on your controller. With 2.40, you can check if any of your friends are online (thanks to their own user profile), read and send messages, change some settings for games, all without having to quit the game you are playing. While you can't pause an online multiplayer game involving other people, you can rejoin play at any time when you've finished browsing. Along with these enhanced communications features, the Friends list capacity will double to 100 Friends.
2.40 also delivers trophies to recognise players' achievements in the online arena. Other competitive activities recognise winners with trophies - so why not gaming on PS3? Many online games will have gold, silver and bronze trophies - with platinum available for those who snag all three - all displayed on the XMB for everyone to see.
Super Stardust⢠HD, a PLAYSTATION Network-exclusive released last year, will be the first game to leverage the Trophies system and will offer a variety of trophies**. The following first-party games are also slated to offer Trophy support:
⢠BUZZ!⢠Quiz TV
⢠LittleBigPlanetâ¢
⢠MotorStorm⢠Pacific Rift
⢠NBA 09 - PS3
⢠PAIN**
⢠PixelJunk⢠Eden
⢠Resistance 2â¢
⢠SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation
⢠Warhawkâ¢**
The 2.40 enhancement is just one more reason to join PSN, the online network for PS3 users that lets you game online for free*. All you need to do to join is connect your PS3 to broadband and register, or go to the connection guide at www.eu.playstation.com to find out more.
Once in, you'll find online matches and leagues for all of your favourite games - whether that's MotorStormâ¢, Resistanceâ¢, Warhawk⢠or Gran Turismoâ¢5 Prologue - absolutely free (although users are responsible for paying their broadband fees) and at any time of the day or night. You'll also find PLAYSTATION®Store, where you can download entire games as well as extra levels, content for your existing games plus internet browsing, video chat thanks to PLAYSTATION®Eye and much, much more.
There's never been a better time to join PSN. Sign up now to make the most of the 2.40 firmware enhancement - see www.(website).com to find out more.
* No subscription required, broadband fees apply
** Requires a game update to be downloaded and installed

It said in the FAQs that they are tied to the psn account, this is the reason why they cant make then retroactive or whatever the term is.
However you mentioned burnout paradise, there was another article on here that said that on july 10th you will receive a free update allowing the trophies to be applied to your current saves, this is because the saves are already tied with your psn account.

Correct, it's here:
To quote from it:
Will voice-messaging/private chat be featured in 2.40 as well? If not, can we expect to see this feature added in the future?
We are evaluating the opportunity to offer voice chat, but for this update, we wanted to focus on text messaging as the key priority for communications that our users have asked for.

Does anyone know if COD4 will have a trophy support update, or perhaps Burnout Paradise. I also think that many past games like GTA4, MGS4, Assassins Creed and Uncharted should join on the Trophy band wagon. Not just the newer games. (by that I meant those that aren't already out (not that MGS4 is old)(!!))
We've just been told that Trophies will not be awarded retrospectively, you'll need to start the game again to obtain any Trophies that game may offer. This is a bit of a shame, but with the ease of save game sharing on the PS3, it's only fair.
In addition, smaller PSN titles won't offer platinum Trophies. More as we get it.
Quick question:
Are the Trophies tied to the PSN acount or the save file because they say that to gain the trophies we will have to recomplete the game. So could we just download a newly completed (trophies built in) save file or are the achievments part of each network account??

Article provided by: MAX My Ride – October 2013 – South Africa
2010 Volkswagen Golf 6 GTI Featured in MAX My Ride.
Samad Khan's dream wasn't good enough up until he said it and now we have the exclusive on it. The car was dropped off at Vicious Cars where Murad and Feroz began their magic.
The factory source unit was wired up to a Rockford Fosgate Power Series T1000-4ad amplifier which is the backbone of this system. Up front, a sweet set of Rockford Fosgate Power series splits were installed with perfection in mind and in the boot (hatch area) rests a pair of Rockford Fosgate P2 10″ woofers. All of these babies are running off this one amplifier and have no trouble keeping up with Samad's demands. Just for good measure though, a Rockford Fosgate 10 Farad Capacitor was intalled to aid in power delivery.
This, my friends is an SQ system that is truly enjoyable to say the least. you forget about your troubles and suddenly believe that the rules of nature do not apply to you or this car, that's the beauty of this Audio system, well, to be honest, the entire car gives you that inclination.

From the ruins of 1949 East London rises Marcus, an unassuming young man working as a custodian in a notorious brothel. Gertie, Marcus' pregnant mother and the brothel's ruthless madam, regularly beats Marcus to 'make a man' out of him. Gertie gives birth to Marcus' half-sister, tasking Marcus with disposing of the baby. Marcus is forced to decide - ultimately fleeing with the baby to a Catholic mission where he finds an equally corrupt foe in Father Seevick, who shakes Marcus down for brothel money. Realizing they're all alone, Marcus returns to the brothel to put his life and soul on the line, setting into motion a bloody confrontation that leads to his becoming criminal royalty.

at RAVENS (2-1), 8:20 p.m.
Ravens by 12; O/U: 43 1/2
TV: NFL Network.
Radio: WFAN (660).
When I typed "replacement refs" into Google yesterday afternoon, I found 142 million results, which took just 0.16 seconds. That has to be some kind of time record, right?
Speaking of records, those replacement refs hurt my overall total for the season and cost me a win: I had the Packers giving 3 1/2 points Monday night. Even more costly, Green Bay is now 1-2 instead of 2-1. So as we enter Week 4, I need to continue my personal march toward respectability and the .500 mark.
I'm trying to find some value in taking the Browns getting 12 points in tonight's Art Modell Bowl, but I'm having a hard time. Although the Browns haven't beaten the Ravens since Nov. 18, 2007 -- the game happened to be in Baltimore -- the Ravens are 0-5 against the spread in their last five games as a home favorite of 10 1/2 points or greater. But I'm fading that trend.
The Ravens' defense, led by LB Ray Lewis and S Ed Reed, will be too much for Cleveland rookies QB Brandon Weeden (6 INTs, 3 TDs, 60.7 QB rating) and RB Trent Richardson (3.5 yards per carry) to overcome.
THE PICK: Ravens

In Young Mr. Roosevelt Stanley Weintraub evokes Franklin Delano Roosevelt's political and wartime beginnings. An unpromising patrician playboy appointed assistant secretary of the Navy in 1913, Roosevelt learned quickly and rose to national visibility in World War I. Democratic vice-presidential nominee in 1920, he lost the election but not his ambitions. While his stature was rising, his testy marriage to his cousin Eleanor was fraying amid scandal quietly covered up. Ever indomitable, even polio a year later would not suppress his inevitable ascent.Against the backdrop of a reluctant America's entry into a world war and FDR's hawkish build-up of a modern navy, Washington's gossip-ridden society, and the nation's surging economy, Weintraub summons up the early influences on the young and enterprising nephew of his predecessor, Uncle Ted."

Senior Member
I have a suggestion on champion release frequency,right now its 3 weeks.I suggest either make it like 2-2,5 weeks,i mean speed up,or release more champions on special occasions like Christmas and New Year,Eastern and other big events. For example on X-mas instead of 1 champ riot could release additional 1-2,now totally for big weekends(starting from X-mas to New Year) we have 2-3 champs to play,it will not only allow to avoid situations where everyone wants to play new hero and starts to curse each other,rage,but will allow people with different needs find a champ to fit their playstyle,wishes at this right moment,i mean releasing 1 tank,1 caster and 1 support char. And i know,some of you might say riot team also wants to rest on this weekends,take a break,vacation maybe,but you can prepare,make those champs earlier,maybe even months before, and later on X-mas just release them... On Easter it could be 1 additional champion,making it total of 2,max like 2-5 occasions per Year. Because right now with this champion release frequency riot releases only 17 champions per Year, we have 57 Champions already,while Dota has 101 champion,Heroes of Newerth has 68...with such tempo we will catch up with dota in 4 years...and if riot team lacks of new champions ideas there are plenty of them in champ suggest section,i don't say to take and make those champs,you can take specific aspects,skills,passive's,ideas,concept...i myself have posted 2 champs suggestions :P P.S. Sorry for my english,i hope you understood main idea.
It's better not to release them faster, slower releases = more time for balancing. It's already hard enough to balance a game like this
Do you own all the champions? HoN and DotA both provide you with ALL those champions for free or a ONE TIME COST. Champions in LoL are sold on an indvidual basis, be it time or money. I'd probably support this if Riot updated it's bundles. But as it stands I only have so much time and money to spend on this game, and I'd like to own all the characters in the same way I'd own all the characters in HoN or DotA. Moreover not only does one have to worry about buying champions, they still need to worry about buying runes and rune pages. Again these cost either time or money. If you really want to make comparisons to HoN and DotA, at what rate do patches for HoN and DotA come out? HoN ripped off it's characters from DotA, so all the work has already been done. DotA on the other hand doesn't update anywhere close to as often as LoL does. It's pretty amazing that Riot updates at the pace that they do to be honest. Then again my father had a saying that relates to you OP. "Give them a finger and they'll take the entire hand". Riot already updates at a frantic pace and they need to worry about champion balance to boot. DotA has been around for years, and all that content you mention took years to develop. ITT; Kids who complain about champion balance want more champions at a rate that's faster then either DotA or HoN has ever released them.
Maya Fey
Quality > Quantity /thread
Considering the current cost of LoL in terms of time/money, I like the current pace at which champions are released. If champions are released at a faster pace, that means I have to either spend MORE MONEY or MORE TIME to get everything I'd like to have. It's great that DotA and HoN have x number of characters, but you don't have to buy those on an individual basis. Or has that completely slipped your mind?
Am playing LOL since close beta,more than year now,and i don't play 24/7,at best i spend few hours on weekends and sometimes on works days,but very rarely.I have 35 champs unlocked,and i have a lot of runes,for each color,seal,quint,marks,glyphs at least 4 full kinds of each pair,oh,and 1 more additional rune page,as for me,old player there is nothing left to do,unlock.Rest champ am not really excited or eager to play,and there are tons of such old,or even fresh(few months) but hardcore players,as of your point of view,if we gonna look at every "minus/aspect" i skipped,that my suggestion have,we can debate for days,saying many strong arguments...for example,you can even say,that i forgot poor kids,that parents allow to play only few h per days,what will they do? etc,and its only 1 quick example...don't take this so deep.
I've also played since beta. I don't play 24/7 either. I spend real money on this game as well as A LOT of time, which it does take. Regardless you want Riot to release champions at a rate that's way faster then DotA ever did. If anything they already do release champions at a rate that's faster then DotA ever has. Does DotA release a new character every few weeks? They don't even release a new character every month. HoN on the other hand just recycled a bunch of DotA heros and continues to do so... if you look at the "original" S2 heros that they create, again they don't get released anywhere close to as often as Riot puts out new characters.
