    • Ruling Tosses Location Privacy Issues Deeper Into the Gray
      A federal appeals court has ruled that prosecutors may need to get warrants to access cellphone location data.

    • AAPL May Yield a Bumper Crop This Fall
      Though it may be some time before AAPL shares again reach the record-setting heights they saw last June, they appear to have made modest gains over the last week. Shares closed Tuesday at US$257.81, down 96 cents for the day but up about $10 since Sept. 1. Meanwhile, Sony has demoed a prototype Google TV at the IFA 2010 consumer electronics show in Berlin. […]
    • US Law Against Online Gambling Makes It the Biggest Loser

    • Counting Your Negatives
      Back in August I wrote about some research I had gotten into mostly for fun. You might recall it. I searched on a company name and the word "sucks" and reported what I found. The point of the research was not to be salacious or to offend anyone. In political circles, it's known as discovering one's "negatives" -- here's […]
    • Sparks Already Flying as Oracle Brings Hurd Into Fold

    • VMworld: 7 Years Without a Glitch
      First a caveat: As part of my work, I attend a lot of IT vendor conferences and high-tech trade shows. Objectively speaking, most shows provide the means to literally and figuratively peek under the hood of usually interesting, sometimes intriguing vendor products and solutions. But conferences also provide an ideal opportunity to consider how much buzz a gi […]
    • Teaching Sales and Web Strategies to Sing in Harmony
      Consider the left hand of sales methodology and the right hand of digital strategy. It's 2010 and the two hands still do not know what the other is up to. Even with the most advanced of our clients, the digital strategy is focused on lead generation, awareness and a bevy of other activities aimed at the top portion of the sales funnel, traditionally own […]
    • Building a Cloud Businesses Will Actually Want to Use
      We've assembled a panel to examine the business impact of cloud computing, to explore practical implementations of cloud models, and to move beyond the hype and into gaining business paybacks from successful cloud adoption. Coming to you from The Open Group Conference in Boston, the panel tackles such issues as what stands in the way of cloud use, safe […]
    • HP's Wallet-Busting Win
      The insane tug-of-war between Dell and HP for enterprise storage company 3Par has finally drawn to a close. We have a winner, if you want to call it that -- the final sale price is more than double the figure Dell initially put forward when it announced its intentions to buy 3Par a couple weeks ago, so who knows how much of that is real value and how much is […]

      The U.S. government spends $80 billion annually on information technology.
