As I have written here before, I hosted a Windows 7 Ultimate Launch party, and for the party there were a couple of offers for software that was a kick-start to getting people purchase other software, to go along with Windows 7.
The biggies on the list were deals on Norton Internet Security and Kaspersky Antivirus. [...]
It’s more than a slogan for a salt company. It’s an old saw that means when bad things happen, they tend to come in droves.
That could be the forecast for Intel, as we have news that the Federal Trade Commission might jump on the dogpile that is forming on Intel. The suit expected to come [...]
For those who don’t want to be locked into a plan, Verizon offers a pre-pay alternative to it, as well as a better choice than using the Virgin network, which is actually Sprint’s.
A very good idea for very casual users, or others that realize that the usual post paid plans are no deal (5GB per [...]
It’s official, but I said it long ago. (Perhaps I am somewhat like Nostradamus.) It will take on more weight now that the industry big shots are speaking out – cloud computing is a bad name. It always was.
The Information Week article speaks out on the bad name, and other things-
Sure, Hewlett-Packard CEO Mark Hurd [...]
I’m not sure who missed the meeting, but the folks at Sophos, if they were in attendance, certainly did not take any notes.
It’s strange how many times things can be fluffed over in such a way that to the casual observer they seem completely different. At least that’s what we are requested to believe.
From slashdot [...]
It is truly amazing when you find that someone who has been on the wrong side of every court case they bring to the fore, finally gets one right. I suppose you could say it’s all in the odds, but the attorney general of New York has been on a tear, being on the wrong [...]
If you are one of the people who have made the plunge to Windows 7, you might have found that for at least one brand, printer divers are still a problem. I had used a Vista driver for my HP, but have not done much printing, so, other than a really fine test page and [...]
Former Vice President Dick Cheney is making quite an after-politics career of going around on the speaking circuit, giving his opinions on why his administration was so great, and why the current one is doomed to failure and disgrace.
Now he seems to have that infamous political selective memory, only recalling the feel of how it [...]
Say what you will about Windows 7 (I mostly like it, other than the menu problem that you have heard me hammer on), but the company’s commercials suck. There is no nice way of getting around it. I can’t say I have ever seen a Microsoft commercial I like. The Windows 7 commercial with the [...]
Normally, I wouldn’t write much about a cable company getting whiny about an FCC ruling, but with the upcoming net neutrality legislation, it seems as though the people at Comcast are making a bit too much of the matter, in order to highlight the argument.
Comcast was deemed to be in violation of current FCC guidelines [...]
I know I was. After attending a couple of Microsoft seminars, two things became abundantly clear – those people don’t think as I do, nor do they use their computers in the same way; and they also cannot produce anyone who was a part of the ‘usability tests’ which we tend to hear about all [...]
I have generally believed, and expressed here, that government help is needed for this nation to become a leader once again in the area of information access and transfer. I happen to subscribe to the theory that there are certain things too large for the individual to undertake, and that the nation sometimes needs the [...]
I remember being told by my father that no one ever really “grows up”. That, deep inside, no one feels old, or any different than when they first became truly self-aware. He said that for most, the outside was the only indicator of advanced age, because seldom do people advance beyond the mental age of [...]
There are times when quite innocently, and through an abundance of caution, it is possible to really screw things up. It is always a problem with government, and one shown today by our neighbors to the north.
Canada has enacted legislation which bans any sort of activity which would deter the driver from full attention on [...]
AMD seems to believe that simply because it has released a new set of good quality video cards that it suddenly owns the world. This doesn’t jibe with the story going around about more layoffs in a few weeks at the company.
To top that off, the company has been suffering from a lack of product, [...]
