This paper discusses how the IBM XIV Storage System's revolutionary built-in virtualization architecture provides a way to drastically reduce the costs of managing storage systems.

The ability to leverage location intelligence was critical to the successful rollout of our 3G network as it enabled us to identify potential customers and where they would likely use our enhanced third generation services. As our decision making process was much more informed by location-based data, we could build our network in areas that will serve our customers most effectively.

6. Justin Wheatley

It must have been windy up there. I can see an upside-down parasol blowing past your head in the picture.
8. Ray Street
Thanks for the photo, the Round-Up is a lot older than I thought.....
9. anonymous
Only 1 guy?
I guess there really is an I in team.
(Ed note. And if you look closely there's a 'me' as well.)
10. anonymous
Where's the shadow?
(Ed note. I think you'd need some sun in order to have a shadow. It was pretty cloudy up there.)
11. Alex Whittles
Proof that the yeti lives!
12. Mickey Walker
Very good likeness. That Abominable Snowman look is you baby.
13. anonymous
That's not the Round-Up, it's a Yeti!
14. anonymous
So thats what happened to bigfoot !
15. anonymous
Can't be Ben Nevis...conditions are too good
16. Darrall Pullen
Is that really a person, looks more like a picture I saw once of a YETI. No faces, no positive identification. Surely you have a better photo than this?
;o)
17. Yeti Hunter
Ah ha so the round up is compiled by the famous Yeti!
Will it be like the Stig of Top Gear, now your identity is out you'll have to cease wandering the wilderness posing for pictures?
18. anonymous
Well done!
19. Sally Brant
Looks more like the Abominable Snowman to me!!!
20. Billy Gibson
aaaargh. Its the Yeti!
21. anonymous
That's not Round-up! That's my pet Yeti - Brian! He's a very naughty boy!
22. anonymous
My god, the abominable snowman writes for silicon?
23. anonymous
Do we see a yeti out there.
Well it's good to see the round-up working for a social cause. keep up the good doing's in life.
24. anonymous
... I always thought it was you!
25. anonymous
Is it a Yeti?
26. Peter Rendall
Oh yes, instantly recognisable - hunched shoulders, anxious eyes,serious RSI in right hand. But not the location - Ben Nevis is more photogenic.
(Ed note. Trust us, that is the summit of Ben Nevis. Why would we lie?)
27. John Romeis
If that's a close up of your face, you need to get in the sun more...
28. Roger the Dodger
OK, What have you done with Esmerelda?
29. Pip
Were any others injured by the mighty big sharp arrow? Was it an Isobar gone bad? It can happen, got started on the Acid rain too young, spent some time hanging around the iraq oil fires before getting cheap kicks over Chernobyl.
That Isobar could have your eye out! or at worst hit your fancy pink iPod... Imagine.. stuck at the very top with no "Eye of the Tiger" to zestfully shadow box to!
Awfull! A failed trip, a disastor to match that of Shackleton.
I salute you brave Silicon
30. David Salgueiro
Conspiracy! Doctored photo! The Round-Up clearly took the money and went on holiday by the beach! Look carefully - what appears to be snow-line is actually the water's edge! And we clearly know there are no yetis living on beaches, therefore this photo must be fake. Fotoshop is clearly getting better! Time to buy shares in Adoobie?...

News Flash: Round up team goes to the pub, meets Scots deer stalker the hard way... More inside
32. anonymous
You managed to duck then?
33. John Hauxwell
Where are the Hendersons?
34. Avid Reader
Nah, it's just an unused frame of footage from The Day After Tomorrow...
35. anonymous
What say 99 per cent of your readership followed the link? Looking forward to confirmation (or otherwise) in next week's round-up....
36. Alexander Simpkin
Ben Nevis ? Or Film Studio!?
(Ed note. Ben Nevis)
37. anonymous
yes looks like a good team with the leader arriving first. I assume people holding hands on the web page are the support team holding an invisible blanket for you to jump into?
38. Yves Bodson
On the right of the picture there is a print option designed as "printer friendly".
One cannot be 'friendly' with such a picture!
By the way, wasn't that the snow man in the fare?
39. Chris Ireland
Isn't that a frame from a starwars film?
40. Damian Quinn
Congratulations Round-up, hope you continue to raise money for good causes.
41. anonymous
Shouldn't he be running ! Slacker...
42. K Shangiti
I know now from where you get your cool ideas :-D

It's Robin Williams on set in Insomnia! The man's a killer...
45. anonymous
Who fired the arrow?
46. anonymous
Is the round up just one guy then?
47. Simon Farrell
Definitive proof that it DID snow at the Battle of Hastings
48. The Joker
Side-on you look like Robin's mask.
