It appears that Silicon Valley will hold Barack Obama to his promise to consider naming a national technology czar/chief technology officer for his administration, and industry observers already have a few suggestions for the president-elect.

For TV networks, a presidential election isn't just a chance to report history-making news. With so many millions of people watching, it's also a chance to show off new technological toys. On Tuesday night, CNN unveiled its new psuedo-holographic imaging technique reminiscent of the "Star Wars" movi...
There have been a number of attempts to size the cloud computing market. The most eye-popping figure, arguably, is from Merrill Lynch.

Despite dissent in some quarters of the television and cable broadcasting community, the Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday voted to allow the use of open broadcast television spectrum to provide broadband data and other services to consumers and businesses.

As the U.S. presidential election season winds down, a handful of political polls that include mobile phone users show Democrat Barack Obama beating Republican John McCain by a substantially wider margin than polls that do not include cell phone users. In polls that extended to cell phones, Obama b...
Putting Iolo Technologies' System Mechanic 8.0 through its paces was a long-overdue reunion with an old friend of sorts. I had used a much earlier version when it was a different label years ago.
