With a new generation of video game consoles, increasing online game play and distribution, cross-platform development and play, in-game advertising and more, there are earth-shaking changes going on in the video game industry. TechNewsWorld posed some questions about the new gaming landscape to Sen...
Last week Hewlett-Packard, which is expected to pass IBM as the largest high-tech company in the world this year, put its new CEO on stage, and much of the behind-the-scenes discussion was on why Mark Hurd has been successful while predecessor Carly Fiorina crashed and burned. Meanwhile, over at Mic...
As Congress draws closer to passing significant telecommunications reforms, it's clear that a larger issue serves as a backdrop to the hot topics of net neutrality, cable franchise reform, and municipal WiFi. That is, will the Internet be treated like telecommunications, or the other way around? Ne...
While technology news buzzes around Vonage's recent IPO and Skype making major moves into the enterprise, there is a nagging issue all Voice over Internet Protocol players face: 911 response. Few can deny the cost saving benefits of Internet telephone services, but the chief concern is emergency sit...
Last week was a busy one for some big tech players. AOL is funding Netscape again, and strangely enough the company seems to have Slashdot on its mind as it moves to rebuild its portal business. Also, Creative Labs evidently didn't realize that Apple was going to fight back when it sued the firm, an...
In an unfortunate turn of events, Adobe has threatened an antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft in Europe. That two American companies may have their fate decided by European bureaucrats is bad enough, but the underlying assumptions make it even worse. The dispute centers on two issues. First, Micros...
Boy, the hits just keep on coming. Last week was no exception, with moves that further put to rest the idea that the tech market is dull and boring. Dell released four products in Los Angeles, two of which are some of the most aggressive ever to come from that company. Hewlett-Packard launched anoth...
Broadband adoption in American homes grew by 40 percent in the last year, twice the growth rate of the year before, according to the Pew Internet and American Life Project. That's good news that should be followed by more good news if technology is allowed to move forward, unfettered by heavy gover...
Microsoft is like the earth. When it moves, people notice. Among the Redmond, Wash., softzilla's recent maneuvers are its purchase of Massive Inc., of New York City, and its imminent -- if The Wall Street Journal is to be believed -- acquisition of Third Screen Media, of Boston. Massive provides a p...
The Recording Industry Association of America has launched a new legal assault on digital radio in Washington, D.C. The "Perform Act of 2006" effectively hamstrings the ongoing growth and development of nascent digital satellite and Internet radio businesses, according to industry watchdogs, in the ...
MySpace claimed almost 5 million registered users in 2005, and that number has grown to exceed 70 million today. Though currently the most popular, MySpace is only one of a number of social networking sites online, and their attractiveness to teens and pre-teens has spawned worry over a growing Inte...
One nice thing about this job is that tons of products get sent to me throughout the year. Some of these things are really cool, and some probably aren't worth the postage it took to send them. With college and high school graduation season in full swing and Father's Day on the horizon, I thought I'...
At least six bills before Congress deal with an issue that leaves many confused and involves a lot of money, constant spin doctoring, and now Hillary Clinton. No, we're not talking about HillaryCare redux or Whitewater, but "net neutrality," a concept being used to trick Americans into accepting reg...
Being branded illegal by federal government authorities hasn't stunted the growth of online gambling, which will become a US$20 billion worldwide industry by 2009, according to a report released Wednesday by the American Gaming Association, the Washington, D.C.-based lobbying arm of the commercial ...
