We don't get the attention of New York -- no ATVs decked out in green, no famous stars, Microsoft giveaways or spotlights tearing t...

Looking back at last week, it was a combination of news from the past and news from the future. Starting out the week, we had the EU ruling come down against Microsoft. I think if the company is smart, it can play this to its advantage and actually benefit from the ruling. What took up most of my we...

In their eagerness to bring the benefits of wireless internetworking to their cities, mayors in Chicago, Houston, San Francisco and other U.S. cities have bought into untested, inflated claims.

Although I'm a hopelessly U.S.-centric person, I still find it engaging from time to time to gauge the opinions of those outside Uncle Sam's borders about what they consider stellar products. One indicator of those opinions is awards like those bestowed in August by the European Imaging and Sound As...

I just came back from the Atlantis resort and a nice vacation playing on some incredible water slides, swimming with dolphins, and floating on a mile-long endless pool.
