Rio employees were arrested by Chinese government officials on charges of corporate espionage and bribery. This is a surprising twist in Chinese attitude towards their key iron ore suppliers.

March 31, 2008
Riverbed Shares Jump on Upbeat Note | biz.yahoo.com
WAN optimization may not be considered a luxury when customers have no choice but to add it to their infrastructure when bandwidth options are limited and response times have eroded.

A great deal of the novelty of the technology has faded as it has become much more familiar technology to IT professionals.
