Last week, I was in San Francisco on a panel moderated by Rackable Systems at LinuxWorld, and not only did I walk away alive, I was impressed by the solid work that was being done at the event and amazed at how well Microsoft was fitting in. The new iMacs were announced, and it is becoming increasin...

We live in an a golden age for portable gizmos. Wherever we go we can take our computers, telephones, personal organizer, digital cameras, video camcorders and satellite radios with us. However, along with those gadgets, we also take along -- if we're away from an electrical outlet for any length of...
Police departments release annual figures detailing the number of crimes committed in a given year. While these statistics may be useful for high-level planning, they don't put anyone in jail. What is needed is convincing evidence of exactly who did what, where and when. The same can be said for net...
The iPhone continues to do well for a device of its price and class, but the product that is likely to really break open the segment for Apple is the anticipated lower cost, more limited, smaller nano offering.

Summer is typically a quiet time, as the industry takes a breath prior to the back-to-school rush. This year was a bit of an exception, with the launch of the Apple iPhone, which may get credit for revolutionizing much of the tech and consumer electronics industry. While sales are well below expecta...
You don't need Microsoft's high-powered marketing staff or sophisticated statistics to know where the power currently lies in the portable media player market. Very simply, the score reads something like this: Apple's iPod, 100 million units shipped; Microsoft's Zune, 1 million. Yes, the iPod entere...
This last week, I was introduced to a Linux-based PC that has the potential to out Apple by using a combination of open source software, Linux and Web 2.0 concepts. I revisited another product that I think could free us from image management and enable us to use whatever PC we want, at work or home,...
Get ready for easy-to-use home servers. With Monday's release to manufacturers of the long-awaited Windows Home Server software, vendors will be putting the devices on the market this fall.

Last week should have been a bigger week than it was with E3, but that show is now a shadow of what it once was, and many of us struggled to pull anything meaningful out of the event. There are simply way too many lazy game developers right now, and I think that could kill this market. Sony continue...
