What should good backup software be doing? And more importantly, how do you ensure it is?
This article has the answers.

Don't worry, it wasn't all Exchange-related doom and gloom on the blog this month.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Facebook has managed to make the news for all the wrong reasons again this month. This time around, it announced that two years ago it had deliberately manipulated users' feed results as part of a psychological study. Moral and ethical outrage aside, the Atlantic had an interesting take on what this means for Data Science and the rise of Big Data over the past few years. Read it here.
Next up, cloud sharing service DropBox recently purchased a Start Up and shut it down for reasons that aren't entirely clear. The Start Up was called Predictive Edge and allowed marketers to personalize e-commerce offerings, send them to users and run A/B testing with the results. As this is DropBox's 17th acquisition, with 5 of the last 6 focusing on services for enterprises, there's speculation that this is part of a push to position themselves beyond a consumer product. Have a read and see what you make of it.
And to wrap things up this month - ever wondered what a WiFi signal looks like? No, of course you haven't. But you are now, right? Well a PHD student from Newcastle University has created a fascinating new device that allows you to see what your WiFi signal looks like in vivid colors. Part tech research, part industrial design and part art: the resulting images will make you wonder who spiked your coffee with hallucinogens - and why you're okay with it. Definitely worth a look.
