Recently, I've made several trips to Geneva, Switzerland, the home of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). I've seen firsthand how this once-sleepy organization of patent attorneys and intellectual property technicians has become ground zero for an assault on the economies of the ind...
Take-Two Interactive, the U.S. company that lied about secret animated sex scenes stashed in one of its brutally sadistic "Grand Theft Auto" Rockstar video games, is counting on Bill and the Boyz, a.k.a., Microsoft, for a little extra lift. Next month, Take-Two plans to set an all-in-one, M for Matu...
Last week's column covered much of the breadth of software inside Windows Vista. The piece addressed some of the features that probably were not widely known and covered likely competitive threats to Apple and Linux. To refresh, Apple is going into the Vista launch weaker and much less differentiat...
Chinese officials recently announced they will no longer consider death tolls and other relevant information about natural disasters to be state secrets. On the same day, China Telecom blocked Internet phone service from Skype. That left observers wondering whether freedom is growing or decreasing i...
Darknets, Greynets. Dark traffic. The words are frightening. The reality behind them is even more frightening. Increasingly clever hackers, thieves and scoundrels are using the Internet, peer-to-peer products, instant messaging and e-mail to wreak havoc, in ways and for purposes never before seen. ...
Windows Vista is the biggest release for Microsoft since Windows 95. With that release, Apple was tested -- and they failed miserably. I was at Dataquest at the time and not only did I warn Apple to take 95 more seriously, I also accurately forecast the massive decline that would happen to them if...
The world's oldest person is 115 years old, and while that might seem impressive, it's only the beginning. Advances in technology are poised to usher in longer and better life spans, a reality the general public has been slow to notice and the subject of a conference this weekend at Stanford Univers...
If the mainstream media are feeling the pressure from infonews sites and blogs, B-b-b-baby, you ain't seen nothin' yet, to quote the words of rock group BTO. I'm talking about indie 'Net journalists taking over from the scribes of yesteryear with straight-up reporting, untainted by corporate self-in...
As we watch the disaster relief effort play out in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina we seem to be falling into the same old pattern of focusing on finding the right scapegoat rather than trying to make sure we can deal with similar future problems. Even after 9-11, the tsunami, and a variety of o...
Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) is set to grow tenfold by 2010, but according to industry reports the leader won't be the United States. Instead, countries such as China, France, and Italy are forecast to lead. It's possible, however, that recent changes in Texas and at the Federal Communicatio...
Except for those of us who build our own desktop computers, laptops have become the product that increasingly defines our personalities and which one we choose says more and more about who we are. Until recently our choices were defined by vendors: Apple if you favored high design, IBM if you liked...
A new threat to national security surfaced this week and if federal agencies fail to address it, they could hamstring important tools to catch terrorists. The General Accounting Office (GAO) reported this week that federal agencies are breaking privacy and security laws while conducting data-mining ...
Universal Pictures has already started touting its US$150 million re-hash of "King Kong," due out around Christmas. But how will the mighty ape be kept safe from the Evil File Sharing Villains? High-speed Internet connections can mean huge, extremely fast downloads and, as a result, movie studios ar...
The consumer electronics industry has had a hard time with standards. Each manufacturer has its own specialty and few components work well with products from other companies. CE products have a mixed ease-of-use record. The most famous problem is probably the VCR which had the ability to time-shif...
This week, a group of legal scholars, high government officials, Nobel prize recipients, and economic experts gathered for the Mont Pelerin Society (MPS) meeting in Reykjavik, Iceland, to discuss e-government, telecommunications, and intellectual property, among other issues. One of the more colorfu...
