Oracle’s Masterful Political Obfuscation Strategy Against HP

This may be election week, but the big political battle isn't really the mid-term elections -- it's the drama going on between Oracle and HP with the unprecedented action of Oracle's CEO and founder calling HP's new CEO a thief in what appears to be a massive pre-emptive effort to discredit the man. However, like the elections, I think this is mostly smoke to cover up other problems Oracle has, and that's what I'll focus on this political week.

Obama’s Visit With Steve Jobs: Here’s What I Hope He Learned

Unfortunately, I think I'm part of a group that is becoming extinct. Regardless of which party holds office in the U.S., my true hope is for its success, because I have this twisted view that if we have successful president, we'll have a better quality of life. Unfortunately, both of the U.S. parties seem to be competing as to which can screw up the country more effectively and, at the moment, the Democrats are winning, largely because they control government. ...

Finding Security in an Insecure World

With U.S. citizens getting shot on U.S. borders -- and the folks investigating them literally losing their heads, with Facebook and Twitter friends using location information to determine when your home is vacant and available for looting, and with the U.S. being named as botnet capital of the world, I expect we all are feeling less than secure at the moment. ...
