Last week, Microsoft announced its new search push at Google -- and unlike Live Search, which was a joke, Bing looks to have the right stuff. The question is, can Microsoft get people to move? Palm initially looked as though it was going to get iPhone users to move, but that hope started to sputter ...

Stockholm-based Spotify is still trying to navigate a maze of licensing obstacles before it can launch a U.S. version of its much-hyped desktop streaming music application.

In today's Internet-driven world of business, customer data -- traditionally the lifeblood of any enterprise -- takes on a new and frightening importance.

Dogged by rumors in the blogosphere about its Zune portable media player, Microsoft threw in the towel on Wednesday, divulging a few details about the upcoming Zune and confirming that the next generation of the device will be available in the U.S. this fall. The Zune HD will target the same market ...
Early adopters of Microsoft's next operating system won't face debilitating bi-hourly shutdowns or be forced to clean-install the release candidate until July 1, despite an email that went out over the holiday weekend setting a June 1 deadline. The date for the shutdowns to begin is actually July 1,...
