The high-end properties he manages in the fast-growing south Florida region require security; indeed, it's one of the biggest line items in the budget, as well as a big draw for potential tenants.

For the last two weeks I've been talking about desktop operating systems, including why Linux is on the wrong path to be a true desktop operating system and comparing Linux to Windows Vista and Mac OS Leopard, where I concluded that Apple will have in 2008 the best opportunity in its history to grow...
There's a policy issue before Congress so pressing that even Hollywood actors like former "Charmed" star Alyssa Milano are blogging about it.
