	Description:		Take a Network Break! Episode 57 is chock full of news. We start with Dell and EMC; at the time we recorded, Dell’s acquisition of the storage giant wasn’t official, and we speculate on why this move might be afoot. The acquisition has since been confirmed. Sticking with talk of mergers and acquisitions, we look into rumors about Juniper Networks being a candidate to either go private or get acquired. We also discuss the prospects for a new, open source network OS being launched by HP. Other brand-name tech giants are also attempting to manage disruption; Cisco CEO Chuck Hollis shared new ideas around strategy and pricing structure for the networking company. We also look at how AT&T is spreading its bets among proprietary vendors and open source efforts as the company ramps up adoption of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). Meanwhile, we check in with Arista on new partnerships around microsegementation services, and place bets on the likelihood of a tax holiday for Apple, which is holding gobs of cash overseas. Last but not least, we castigate Verizon for double-dipping on its customers by marrying user data collected by a zombie cookie with user data collected by its AOL ad network. You can find links to all the stories we discuss below.
