Sarah Palin – Could She Be The Second Internet President?

Did I just say that? I certainly hope i doesn’t come true. I do wonder it though.
Today, Palin’s book begins to be sold while already being considered at number one. Though the mainstream “gotcha” media, as she would put it, always tries to marginalize her ability to rally people to her cause, I see an [...]

MSN Messenger Is The Largest Occupier Of Online Time

Microsoft owns the web. If you look at the time that Microsoft applications spend connected to it, the previous statement is proven without question. Who would think that a lowly IM application would be considered king of all in usage?
The take from Download Squad -
To some of you, this might be a shock. To the rest [...]

Concert Streaming – A New Trend?

It might be the beginning of a great new change in the way things work. After the U2 concert last Sunday, apparently the Foo Fighters decided that they wanted in on part of that world-wide adulation.

On Friday, the Foo Fighters are following in U2’s footsteps, offering a free global stream of a live [...]

Facebook Sued By Disbarred Lawyer

Not sure if this gets filed under ‘instant karma’ or ‘the pot calling the kettle black’, but either way, it’s certainly  an interesting turn of the screw.
Jack Thompson, the lawyer that is no longer, being permanently disbarred in 2008, is still causing trouble – which proves you don’t have to be a lawyer to cause [...]

October Deemed National Cybersecurity Awareness Month

Not only is that a mouthful, it makes the casual reader wonder what might be up. As in, “What are they not telling us?”
If you take what the FBI is troweling out seriously, it would seem that they believe that our lives, as citizens of the United States, can be significantly enhanced by knowing about [...]

California Youth Arrested for Hacking Game Consoles

A blurb about a California youth being arrested caught my eye, because, as a resident  of the state, I tend to be interested in my neighbors (millions of them!). Seriously, I was interested in the piece as I was not aware that what was being done was a problem, nor that it did anything other [...]

Microsoft Vine

After having just received my invitation for Microsoft Vine, I downloaded the software and started to set it up. This is no three-hour-wonder, as many Twitter applications tend to be. The scope of this is such that I think, with very little exposure, it will become very popular with those not wanting to gather as [...]

Count on Dvorak to Cut Through It

Just when I was about ready to write off John C. Dvorak’s contributions to PC Magazine, he lets loose with a smoker about the Editor-in Chief’s column.
Never mind that I happen to agree, it is about diverse opinions, and seeing both sides. Lance Ulanoff may be the PC Mag editor I agree least with ever [...]
