LONDON — The three-month average of global sales of semiconductors rose to $18.15 billion in July, up 5.3 percent from $17.24 billion in June. July sales were down 18.2 percent from $22.19 billion in July 2008, but were ahead of expectations.

The figures are based on statistics gathered by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization and represent a three-month moving average of chip shipments.

The fifth-consecutive month of sequential increases in semiconductor sales reflects improving demand in the consumer sector, said George Scalise, president of the SIA, in a statement. Sales of consumer products such as netbook PCs and cell phones are supporting the modest recovery in demand that is now under way. Purchases of Information Technology products by the enterprise sector continue to be tempered by caution and longer replacement cycles. There is also evidence of a return to seasonal industry patterns, Scalise concluded.

Some of the strongest signs of recovery are coming from the Americas region were July's averaged chip sales at $3.08 billion were only 8.0 percent down on where they were in July 2008. In contrast the European region achieved three-month average chip sales of $2.32 billion down 31.7 percent on the same figure a year before.

The Asia-Pacific region is the most significant and with July averaged sales of $9.54 billion was down 15.9 percent on the same figure a year before.

North Miami Councilman Scott Galvin hit a roadblock when he tried to e-mail his constituents during a council meeting. The reason: The city limits access to websites, external e-mail carriers and social networks.

``It's ridiculous that I can't communicate with the residents when I'm in City Hall,'' said Galvin, who constantly communicates with residents through his website and personal e-mail account.

At a recent meeting, Galvin questioned city staff about the rigid access. ``I need to be able to access my e-mail,'' he said. ``We have a beautiful laptop here and I can't access anything.''

The council directed city staff to allow e-mail access only for council members during meetings. The blocks will remain on for all other employees.

The city's Information Technology Director, Hortensia Machado, said North Miami's policy -- much like policies some other cities have -- is meant to prevent viruses. ``We cannot filter external e-mail,'' she said. ``It would be against my better judgment to allow for external e-mail.''

Breakthrough New HDX 3D Technology Enables Citrix XenDesktop to Deliver High-End
Professional Graphics in Real-Time over Any Network
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Today Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXS), announced a new breakthrough addition
to its market leading HDX Technology, ensuring a high-definition virtual desktop
experience even for the most demanding high-end professional graphics
environments. The new HDX 3D technology, available as a feature of Citrix
XenDesktop, delivers a rich, high-definition desktop experience applications to
users in any location, over any network. Combined with the full portfolio of HDX
technologies in XenDesktop, the new HDX 3D capability allows organizations to
leverage talent globally, while still housing data centrally, assisting in
real-time collaboration among disperse design teams while still ensuring the
security of critical intellectual property. HDX 3D is part of an extensive range
of HDX technologies from Citrix that go well beyond a single protocol to address
potential problems in all parts of the IT infrastructure, from the datacenter,
to the network, to the device. Combined with the company`s groundbreaking HDX
Adaptive Orchestration technology, XenDesktop can also dynamically adapt to
changes in the environment by applying the best technologies for each unique
user scenario (see http://hdx.citrix.com for more detail).

"Desktop virtualization, and XenDesktop in particular, has really picked up
steam in 2009. A critical success factor to mass adoption in the enterprise
remains the ability to ensure a PC-like experience over any network, which is
particularly critical for employees who work with high-end graphics, design
software, animation and the like. Although these use cases have not historically
been considered within the reach of Centralized Virtual Desktop architectures,
in many cases they may make an ideal use case if a powerful user experience is
achieved," said Michael Rose, research analyst, IDC. "It is exciting to see new
technology innovations like HDX 3D in XenDeskop, which extends multimedia
performance and makes virtualization a viable solution for a broader set of
users."

Now Citrix XenDesktop with HDX technologies can deliver virtual desktops to all
office-based users within the enterprise - including the most advanced
professional graphics power users - through a single desktop virtualization
product. Other technologies being introduced to the market consume excessive
amounts of bandwidth and are only capable of delivering slow and frustrating
performance such as, user click and mouse response time, over the wide area
network (WAN). XenDesktop with HDX 3D provides the best performance possible
over the WAN, and over a local area network (LAN), HDX 3D consumes 10x less
bandwidth1 than alternatives while still providing a high-definition user
experience. This allows IT to implement virtual desktops without going through
any expensive network upgrades.

"We are looking at how we can centralize desktops with 3D applications in the
datacenter. This can be really challenging because the performance is so
critical. XenDesktop with HDX 3D for Professional Graphics finally provides a
solution that can deliver strong 3D application performance remotely, which will
help us better meet the needs of our students," said Brandon Combs, information
technology analyst for the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning at
the University of Cincinnati

In industries such as manufacturing, engineering and graphic design,
architecture and animation, design teams are often geographically-dispersed but
still require the ability to collaborate and work from the same source files.
And, these teams work with highly-valued intellectual property where security is
paramount. Without the right technology to support these teams, enterprises are
hampered in their ability to be nimble and tap into talent in multiple
geographies. Teams who are co-located across the world must often work
sequentially on projects, incurring the cost of travel and shipping to
collaborate while running the risk of exposing critical IP to security breaches.
Desktop virtualization provides significant business benefits to these
organizations - among them, making secure, global collaboration possible. With
the right desktop virtualization technology that delivers a high-definition
experience of a virtual desktop, enterprise users are ensured the best
experience over any network. Design teams can collaborate in real time and keep
IP safely housed in the datacenter.

XenDesktop with HDX 3D delivers these benefits by centralizing the OS,
applications and data in the datacenter, and quickly and securely delivering
desktops with the user experience required. Enterprises no longer have to
compromise on delivering maximum performance even to users over the WAN.

"The new Citrix HDX 3D for Professional Graphics software will further enhance
HP customer choice for advanced workstation-class Citrix XenDesktop experiences
delivered today by HP ProLiant Workstation Blades, Performance Series thin
clients and the HP Virtual Client Essentials software portfolio," said Jeff
Groudan, vice president, HP Thin Clients and Virtualization Solutions.

"Citrix continues to raise the bar in desktop virtualization user experience,"
said Param Desai, director of product management for Virtualization Solutions at
Wyse Technology. "The addition of the HDX 3D capability in XenDesktop brings
desktop virtualization to a critical use case within the enterprise - users of
high-end graphics. Together with Wyse R90LW/LEW devices the two companies can
deliver a clearly superior user experience for a broader set of use cases."

HDX Sets the Standard in Virtual Desktop User Experience

Citrix HDX includes a broad set of technologies designed to enable a
high-definition user experience of virtual desktops and applications in today`s
multimedia-rich computing environment. These technologies reside across the
entire end-to-end delivery system. Citrix HDX Technology provides built-in value
to XenDesktop, delivering a high-definition experience of a virtual desktop to
every type of desktop user, even high-performance graphics users.

User experience remains the most critical element required for organizations to
broadly adopt desktop virtualization. Citrix continues to drive innovation in
user experience and its desktop virtualization product portfolio will be further
enhanced this year with HDX technologies that enable the delivery of multimedia
applications - including rich media, voice and video - to users anywhere.

"Citrix continues to raise the bar on desktop virtualization user experience
with HDX 3D delivering the best real-time graphics performance. Unlike other
players in the market, we`ve invested 20 years in innovating what it takes to
deliver desktops and apps to users. The addition of HDX 3D significantly
enhances our breadth of capabilities that ensure an unparalleled experience for
every user in every scenario," said Raj Dhingra, group vice president and
general manager, XenDesktop product group at Citrix Systems. "XenDesktop with
HDX Technology provides the only desktop virtualization solution that can
deliver the best possible user experience for every user type without
sacrificing performance over the LAN or WAN."

Availability

HDX 3D will be available at the end of September as a feature of Citrix
XenDesktop Advanced, Enterprise and Platinum editions for all new and existing
XenDesktop customers at no additional charge. More information about HDX 3D and
HDX Technology can be found at http://hdx.citrix.com.

Recently, the University became part of iTunes U, a program used to provide educational and informational content that is usually limited to students, joining more than 200 colleges and universities in the iTunes U program.


Ivon Foster, assistant to the provost for special projects, said in an e-mailed statement, “iTunes U is the educational side of the iTunes Store, which provides a way for academic entities, such as universities, museums and libraries, to share educational content at no cost to the public and or to its members.”


He said UA officials decided to get on board with iTunes earlier this year to promote success within the University. Foster said it would help to “showcase the talent within the University.”


“This program is meant to expand the knowledge of the University within the community, therefore the information is available to everyone at no cost,” Foster said. “This is one of Apple's policies. In fact, Apple hosts UA's content at no cost to the University.”


Rachel Shuttleworth, lead coordinator for iTunes U at the UA’s Office of Information Technology, said the information is available in either video or audio format and can occasionally be downloaded in a PDF format. The content may be viewed through iTunes or downloaded to the student’s computers.


The information on iTunes U is mostly outside classroom information. If instructors want their information on the iTunes U site, they must apply for it through a campus liaison.


“We are in the first phase of iTunes U at The University of Alabama: the public phase,” Foster said.


Now, the main concern is the general interest of the public, Foster said. The future of iTunes U will be carefully coordinated along with campus stakeholders.


In this initial phase of the iTunes U program, students are encouraged not to post things on iTunes U unless they have contacted a campus liaison. According to Foster, “all requests to post content are reviewed by the appropriate campus liaison and the iTunes U team.” Since all information on the site is available to the public and supported by the University, it is essential that UA keeps a close eye on the content being uploaded to iTunes U.


As far as using iTunes as a method of teaching, Shuttleworth commented that many professors are working hard to incorporate different programs in their teaching, including iTunes U.


“It is always exciting to see how technology tools like iTunes and podcasting are used in the classes,” Shuttleworth said.


Shuttleworth said giving students a new way to access knowledge is one part of the increasing amount of technology available to them.


“The University of Alabama on iTunes U is not intended to replace any of UA's instructional technology tools, such as eLearning,” Shuttleworth said.


In addition, Shuttleworth said the main goal of iTunes U is to share information obtained by the University of Alabama with as many people as possible within the school and the community.


Students who wish to access this information need to download the free iTunes application at apple.com/itunes/download.
