You cannot get the Windows 7 beta from Microsoft's Web site anymore. The Redmond giant pulled the plug on its beta download free-for-all on Feb. 9 after several weeks of letting anybody who wanted to play with it grab it. Of course, you can still troll the dark side of the Internet to find the many ...
I spent Thursday of last week at an event put on by A&R Edelman talking about the importance of trust, where they discussed their findings on a survey of around 4,000 companies. They concluded that that trust is directly tied to the market recovery and that tech companies were the most trusted. ...
What Hulu giveth, Hulu taketh away. At first applauded for its openness in providing its content to other distributors, the online streaming video company -- a joint venture of NBC Universal and News Corp. -- this week pulled back that content from Web-to-TV software provider Boxee and TV.com, CBS's...
It's June 1991, and I'm starting a new job as a reporter for the ABC affiliate in Dallas, WFAA-TV. It's intimidating as hell because the station's reputation in the industry is stellar, and I'm not sure I can measure up. After all, not long after my first day there, I'm watching PBS and seeing the m...
In an effort to tackle New York's nearly $15 billion budget deficit, Governor David Paterson has proposed taxing downloads of software, music and other content, including pornography. This proposal comes at a time when the economy is in freefall and the so-called "stimulus" package is going to cost ...
If Alec Baldwin wants to help the free Web video service Hulu turn its users' brains into mush -- as per its new TV commercial unveiled during the Super Bowl -- he will have to do so without the help of Web-to-TV application Boxee. Boxee announced Wednesday that Hulu, co-owned by NBC and Fox, had as...
Having a Web site opens up the doors to all sorts of low-cost marketing opportunities for small businesses. Sometimes fledgling Web marketers can be overwhelmed by the embarrassment of riches that are available for next to nothing. The key to effective online marketing -- whether it's to drive visit...
As the handheld mobile device has evolved from pager to cell phone to smartphone to mobile computing asset, enterprise mobility has become increasingly vital to conducting tactical, operational, and strategic business transactions. On top of this, the growth in enterprise mobile adoption, combined w...
Facing an outcry from its subscribers, Facebook has backtracked and replaced its new terms of service agreement instituted Feb. 4 with the previous version. Mark Zuckerberg, the social network's chief executive officer, announced the change in a blog post on the company's site Tuesday night. "A coup...
The U.S. still has relatively low-cost electricity compared to other countries, but consistent rate increases and an aging, inefficient electrical distribution system are prompting demands to update the country's utility grids. IBM's chief executive Samuel J. Palmisano recently estimated that 67 per...
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer took the opportunity at the Mobile World Congress to announce three new ventures the company will take in the smartphone space. Microsoft will offer a new, upgraded Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system, a new Windows Mobile application store, and a Web-based service for ac...
What may have seemed to Facebook execs like a run-of-the-mill revision to the company's Terms of Service agreement grew into controversy over the weekend, and on Monday CEO Mark Zuckerberg had to scramble to reassure users that the content that they post -- photos, videos and text -- belongs to and ...
Working hard at being inefficient is not a path to success. Sometimes the difference between success and failure is having the courage to walk away from the "busy work" and take the steps to make that process better. It's a lesson that we in IT -- and particularly in security -- all too often fail ...
Microsoft released to the public last month a well-polished beta version of Windows 7. After three weeks of working with the new Windows operating system, I am mostly impressed with its stability and usability. Making this statement is a big step for me. I rejected Vista and linger happily with Wind...
It's hard not to look at the stimulus package announced last week and not be disappointed. About 35 percent of it is tax cuts that will be so small for the majority of us that it simply won't have an impact other than to put the country in deeper debt. Intel announced its own stimulus package in the...
