Mikko Hypponen has spent the past 20-plus years studying malicious software, including everything from "Brain" -- the first PC virus, dating back to 1986 -- all the way up to Stuxnet and today's most sophisticated global malware. He's widely considered one of the world's foremost experts on informat...
Last week's announcement of Google's plans to acquire Motorola -- Googorola -- created a massive change for Android licensees. They are now looking for alternatives, tossing the biggest smartphone platform into flux and increasing the interest in what will happen to RIM -- with specific emphasis on ...
HP on Thursday shook the mobile devices world in announcing that it's killing off its webOS-powered smartphones and TouchPad tablet line. The TouchPad reportedly suffered poor sales in its short few weeks on the market, and little has been heard about HP's Palm Pre family of smartphones. HP said it'...

Still, Facebook does have something amazing here -- I just don't think it's worked out yet. But I do thi...
HP will release the TouchPad in select markets Friday, putting the webOS mobile operating system the company acquired when it purchased Palm into an HP-branded tablet.

Nokia has unveiled the first smartphone to run the MeeGo operating system: the Nokia N9. This new handset is all screen -- it has no home button.

The hacker group LulzSec has been carrying out a security-busting blitzkrieg across the Web over the last few weeks, and its targets are getting bigger and bigger.
