A new generation of criminals is exploiting the very connectivity th...
As we move into fall and approach the Intel Developer Forum this week, things show no sign of slowing down. Last week AMD fired an early volley at Intel by broadening an initiative designed to unite the entire slate of remaining non-Intel chip companies, making me wonder, had this happened earlier...
A decade ago, Microsoft thought it could ignore bureaucratic rumblings with little or no fallout. That attitude led to the historic Microsoft antitrust trial and the realization that bureaucrats can indeed wield bigtime impact. Google is now learning a similar lesson, albeit in a different way. In...
As technology becomes a large part of many consumers' everyday lives, the risk of overexposure to new advances grows for people of all ages. Do you know someone who is far more concerned with blogging, pinging and surfing the Internet than with eating dinner, going to the big game or even watching T...
What makes e-mail trustworthy? There are at least two factors at play here: e-mail authentication, as described in a recent article, ensures that outbound e-mail really comes from the purported sending domain. That doesn't tell you whether the sender is a highly-reputable institution or a spammer, ...
Last week we saw the two big guys go at it: First Apple showed off product updates for the iPod and iTunes, and then Microsoft had the coming-out party for Zune -- its so-called iPod killer. I'd like to talk about all this first and end up discussing products I think do the best job in the media sp...

Her visit comes during a nasty spat between the commission and Microsoft that could seriously hurt technology businesses and consumers.

Last week, HP launched an impressive array of new products -- but few noticed, because the news once again surrounded events that happened when their ex-CEO was still there, screwing up the company. Meanwhile, Gateway finally got a new CEO in J. Edward Coleman, who has a good pedigree as a turnaroun...
Hold on to your hats -- California lawmakers have finally done something even the most jaded critic will appreciate. It's called cable franchise reform, and it will have a positive impact on California and the entire nation. "California has led the way in the evolution of new technology, and with ...
From Baby Einstein tapes for infants to Reader Rabbit software for two-year-olds to Nintendo consoles given as early as fifth birthdays and beyond, technological advancements designed to stimulate the intellect and entertain the soul are overwhelming many 21st century kids. Technology access has bee...
Summer is the time to relax, take in the weather and drink a Mint Julep ... right? Someone should tattoo this information on the heads of a number of executives I know because this summer has been anything but relaxing and I still haven't even seen a Mint Julep. Last week was no exception, with App...
Employees often consider their corporate desktops and laptops to be their own personal computers, and frequently treat them as such by downloading all kinds of unauthorized applications, such as MP3 players, games, VoIP products and unsupported instant messaging platforms. In the past this behavior ...
This summer has been amazing, and there isn't any letup. I was convinced last week that I'd be able to focus on some of the longer-term issues rather than big new news this week. Clearly that wasn't the case, and I had more to choose from than I have room to discuss. I'm picking two of the most int...
