As of a few nights ago, it was still possible to get a room at a decent place on the Las Vegas strip at a bargain rate. That was a good sign for travelers but a bad sign for the Consumer Electronics Show -- not to mention the city's hospitality industry. When everything falls into place, CES is supp...
If you are a regular visitor to the multi-faith Web site Beliefnet, or if you subscribe to its e-mails, you may have noticed the site is becoming a little more playful. Something new -- a quiz or prayer tool or connection to a social networking site -- is introduced every month. However, the word CT...
The revelation Monday that 33 accounts on the Twitter social networking site had been hacked, while others were compromised by a phishing scam over the weekend, highlights what cyber criminals can do. Accounts belonging to Britney Spears, Barack Obama and CNN's Rick Sanchez were hacked, using tools...
The drawback with using most search engines is they all seem to give similar results and generally all have the same look and feel. They lack personalization and offer a mostly boring environment. "Most people select the first few results on Google, even though Yahoo and Microsoft Live give better b...
The Chinese government is starting 2009 with a crusade to make the Internet safe for its young population to surf without encountering pornography.

Well, this is CES week, and I am eagerly waiting to fly to Las Vegas, participate in the Tiger Build Your Own PC race, and spend the following three weeks relearning how to walk. This year should be interesting because I'm getting weekly notices that the hotels are lowering room rates, and one of th...
I'm writing this on Tuesday evening Pacific Time, Dec. 30, 2008. It will be published early Friday morning, Jan. 2. So right now I can't tell you if I was able to keep my first New Year's resolution: to use the extra "leap second" we all got just before midnight New Year's Eve in a wise, productive ...

The legions of online activists who mobilized to help Barack Obama win the White House were expected to return to their normal routines after the election, but they apparently did not get the memo. Rather, this group seems intent on remaining active as the new administration takes shape, for the mos...
At the stroke of midnight -- the first second of Dec. 31 in the Pacific time zone -- 30 GB Microsoft Zunes started spontaneously dying.
