Okay, maybe it won't actually bring about world peace, but IP Multimedia Subsystem is certainly bringing something almost as cool to the world.  Paul Whalen gave me a nice introduction to IMS (16 minutes, 6.5MB) in the first installment of another new podcast series.  Watch this space in the coming weeks for more on IMS architecture, applications, and the like.  Makes a great holiday gift.
