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 [...]

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 [...]

Do you remember when many people we stating that one of the really nasty things about the Starter Edition of Windows 7 was that the user was stuck with one rather nasty background, and no way to change it? I remember seeing a certain site trying to get around the problem through some registry magic, [...]

Netbooks are the darling of the computer market right now. Definitely the fastest growing segment are those little, lightweight units, easily carried for hours by the girliest of men.
Seriously, the netbook is something that is going to reach down into levels of the population never thought of before, not only because of its diminutive size, [...]

Not to let Windows 7 be released without a key feature represented, HP has released the Compaq-branded L2105tm multi-touch monitor. A 21.5″ diagonal monitor, with native resolution of 1920 x 1080 (just the thing for Blu-ray movies on the desk!) the monitor lists for $299.
Tech Connect shows a bit more -
Under the Compaq brand HP [...]

A story on Betanews states that Google is going to have Chrome soon found on Sony Vaio computers, as delivered.  The beginning of a move by Google to get Chrome into the mainstream may or may not come with this, as Sony is not really a major supplier of computers. A really big deal would [...]

Sure, I know that title makes little sense, but that conveys the strange tale of the AsusTek company, one that was just recognized as building the very best consumer motherboards, and a maker of various other computer parts, both for the retail, and the OEM, spaces.
And that is the problem. Asus could be much larger [...]

So says the New York Times. The story is that longtime security company McAfee, not a close second, in the market share calculations, is tired of playing second fiddle to industry leader Symantec, who holds a bit over half of the market.
As I stated yesterday, Symantec has built its base largely upon the name recognition [...]

Beginning in the UK, Hewlett Packard will launch a service to help recover stolen notebook computers. For those computers tracked and presumed irretrievable, there is an erasure feature also available, to make certain that sensitive materials don’t become public knowledge.  Said to work like lo-jack for automobiles, it should lower the cost of insuring these [...]

Do you know how the kids play a game where someone is ‘it’ and everyone else tries to bring them down, and after getting them on the ground, everyone piles on like some mad football play after a fumble?
That is apparently how it will be for Intel for a while. The judgement against them will [...]

Larry Dignan seems to be unusually on top of this story, as he gives more insight to the Oracle buyout of Sun.
Stating that Oracle might have valued the hardware division at zero makes many wonder how all that Sun hardware will continue on. Will it be a third party picking up the pieces, or will [...]

Paul Murphy (as every article of his says, a pseudonym – ZDNet author) put up an outstanding article concerning the company known as Sun, an why its health should matter to users of other products.
Though I could write about some of the points, such as the competition factor, with Sun helping out AMD, in its [...]
