As a child of the 1960s, I already knew that Walter Cronkite was the man who told us about the assassinations of two Kennedys and a King, the riots in the streets, the landing at Tranquility Base. Seeing the archival footage was deja vu for me; I watched most of all that as it happened, sprawled out...

Unlike some professionals, Walden never emailed confidential documents to his home account. His concern was tha...
Third-party applications and customization features take center stage on Yahoo's new homepage as the company rolled out the beta version of its redesign for U.S. users Tuesday. Actually, "center stage" isn't quite accurate; the long list of colorful icons for Facebook, MySpace, eBay and HotJobs, alo...
Everyone knows the old adage that "out of sight" is "out of mind." There's quite a bit of truth to it. It's a facet of human nature that things that are directly in front of our face get noticed, while things that are out of our scope of awareness don't. Seems pretty obvious, right? In fact, it i...

A mini-drama of particular interest to bloggers unfolded in the midst of the hoopla surrounding Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's resignation earlier this month.

There's generally more attention on the fight between Microsoft and Google this decade than on the fight between Apple and Microsoft. That's because Google seems to represent the future, while Apple and Microsoft are often seen as anachronisms from a prior age. However, these two clearly aren't rea...
Thursday marked yet another chapter in the short, rocky history of Mozilla's Firefox 3.5 browser, as the foundation released a security update a little more than two weeks after unveiling it. Firefox 3.5.1 fixes a JavaScript vulnerability in version 3.5 that exposed users to so-called drive-by attac...
