CSTechcast.com brings you the weekly podcast for IT pros. This week we talk about technology communities and SQL Server in particular with Andy Warren, President of End to End Training. Find him blogging at http://www.sqlservercentral.com/blogs/andy_warren/. In the news, we cover the coming USB 3.0 devices, Microsoft tries to patent pay as you go computing, Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager gets an update with service pack 1, SSL certificates gets compromised by a bunch of PS3s game consoles, and Windows experiences the largest usage drop in 4 years. The cable box method of pay as you go computing gets “The Worst Tech Move of the Week”, we take “A Closer Look” at the most in demand skills for the new year, and when you migrate an Outlook user make sure they get their nicknames in “The Weekly Tech Tip”.
