I think the "death of printed books" argument is over-indulged. The printed book market is changing, that's for sure, but it will not ever disappear. Overall, the economy has had more impact on how and when people purchase books, than the electronic book readers are. I have Kindle DX, and I use it sometimes, but generally, I'd rather have a
So the latest SCO filings quietly stated that the man most linked to the long running SCO litigations, Darl McBride, was no longer with the company. His role as CEO and president had been eliminated. One might have thought that this was an indication that the other people in charge at SCO were cooling to the whole thing. In case
Glad to be back in the saddle folks. Blogworld was great and I have a pile of things to share about the event. Did you hear about how Elvis made an appearance at our annual party. Lots of tech tonight as always. I have some critical links for you to review at the bottom of the post as well. Take
This weekend I had to fix my dad's computer after it got a Scareware popup. This Scareware was rather different than anything I'd approached before; when the popup appeared asking him to purchase via credit card some bogus software to "fix" his viruses, it also locked up his programs so that nothing else would work. He couldn't open his virus
It's Patch Tuesday, which means my poor laptop is getting slammed with a major update for Windows Vista. It has been sitting and installing "component 15 of 16" for more than two hours.

I have been using Facebook for a couple of years, since my teens signed onto it. It started out that I was just trying to keep an eye on their online activities; I banned them from MySpace because of safety concerns, but Facebook had a few more safety features that a mom could love. But of course, once I started

I have EyeTv installed on my mac mini, which allows me too watch TV on my computer. It works really well, so when I saw that EyeTv had an Iphone application, I had to download it. Unfortunately, I wish I had waited, the application needs some work before it will be worth the price. Before you install the application on
On Tuesday night I fly out to Blog World and New Media Expo. This is one of my most looked forward to trips of the year. It's more a family reunion than anything. My team from RawVoice is joining me and we have a booth as always. So while it will be part business it is going to be part
This month’s featured guest will be from Zoho, to provide a 20 minute overview of Zoho Show 2.0 and highlight how it integrates with the other Zoho apps.

In a Speech in Beijing, Tom Curley of The Associated Press and News Corp.'s Rupert Murdoch said it is time for search engines and others to pay up. I have an idea why don't the search engines remove all referenced to the Associated Press and their associated affiliates from their search results. I'm serious just delete them and all historical
