Until recently CompTIA certifications were all permanent certifications, meaning that if you got certified in A+ you were certified for life.
As of January 2010 this is no longer true — the A+, Network+ and Security+ certifications will expire three years from the date they’re issued and you will be required to renew your credentials in order to stay current.

A Little update on what the new comptia Network+ and Security+ has to offer and how to upgrade.
CompTIA Network+ Bridge Exam
It is CompTIA's policy that our certifications are good for life. For IT professionals who are encouraged or required by their employers to remain current on their certifications, CompTIA has the following options. Individuals who are certified under the most recent exam — with 2005 exam objectives — may choose to become certified under the CompTIA Network+ 2008 exam objectives in one of two ways:
Take the new CompTIA Network+ exam, with exam code N10-004.
Take the CompTIA Network+ bridge exam (BR0-002), which measures only the differences between the 2005 exam objectives and the 2008 exam objective
NEW YORK – Hackers briefly blocked access to the popular Internet messaging service Twitter, steering traffic to another Web site where a group reportedly calling itself the "Iranian Cyber Army" claimed responsibility.
Users trying to reach Twitter early Friday were redirected to a Web page that CNN reported had a picture of a green flag and a message that said, "This site has been hacked by the Iranian Cyber Army."
There was no evidence the hackers are actually linked to Iran. Web sites like Twitter and Facebook helped bring attention to the Iranian opposition during the country's crackdown after its June elections, with users posting minute-by-minute updates and amateur video.
Google's Chrome browser seems to be expanding in both features and users day by day. It's a popular solution for those using Windows, and is currently in beta on Linux and Mac OS X. Now, it's being reported that the browser has overtaken Safari in market share.
According to Computerworld, the release of the Mac and Linux betas for the software helped push it into third place, past Apple's Safari browser. The week of December 6-12 saw Chrome hitting 4.4% market share, an increase of 0.4%, beating out Safari, which held 4.37%; to show how important the browser hitting beta on Mac OS X was, before the release, Chrome held 0.32% of the share on the OS during November, which shot up to 1.3% afterwards. It was said that the split between people switching to Chrome wa
Google has announced their first Map Maker Global Competition, which asks users to add high quality data on universities, schools, hospitals and medical clinics using Google Map Maker. Running until January 31st, 2010, the winner will receive a $50,000 UNICEF donation to a country of their choice.
The winner, whom may be an individual or part of a team, will also receive a VIP tour of local projects that will benefit from the donation and an all-expenses-paid trip to the Google Super Mappers 2010 conference. And of course, the winners contributions will appear on Google Maps.
Although Google is looking for the person who submits the most entries, all entries are subject to moderation by other participants to ensure submissions are of an acceptable quality. In
We've been hearing about the "$100 laptop"--a no-frills, low-power portable that meets the educational needs of children in developing nations--for a few years now. But no product has materialized--at least not at the $100 price point--until now. Cherrypal has launched a $99 portable, the Cherrypal Africa, a "mini-netbook" built to bring Internet access to the world's poor.
The Cherrypal Africa's specs won't impress anyone -- a goes-without-saying fact the netbook's builder doesn't deny. "Make no mistake, the Cherrypal is not a fancy system. It’s small, just a 7-inch screen, no thrills and admittedly not exactly fast, though good enough to browse the web," writes company founder Max Seybold on the GreenOpenFa
Even with the threat of Microsoft's Bing, Google continues to take a greater share of the search engine market. But Bing is growing, too; it's Yahoo that is losing ground.
According to comScore's November statistics (via eWeek), Google and Bing are essentially having a feeding frenzy on Yahoo's lost market share. Yahoo's share fell by 0.5 percent last month to 17.5 percent. Bing grabbed most of those searches, rising from 9.9 percent in October to 10.3 percent last month.
Google took the rest, bringing its total market share from 65.4 percent to 65.6 percent in November. It is, however, a slower gain than the previous month, when Google gained a half percentage point.
Oddly enough, comScore's numbers show a different trend than
