Yesterday, Bill Gates was supposed to give the best keynote talk in his history, but given I write this column the week before it is published I have no idea whether he actually delivered the goods. Steve Jobs doesn't do his thing until after the column publishes and most of you are still in the dar...
For this last column of 2006, I thought it would be interesting to look ahead to 2007 and explore the battles that are to come. The three big ones are the Battle for the Digital Home, the Battle for your Pocket, and the Battle for Your Lap. The fighters include Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, HP, Dell, G...
With buzz about Apple's rumored iPhone growing, Linksys, a unit of Cisco, on Monday announced new additions to its own iPhone product line. The company introduced a series of Web-enabled telephone handsets designed to work with Voice over Internet Protocol services. The new phone family lets users d...
Microsoft on Tuesday opened a private beta of its new enterprise voice communications server to 2,500 IT professionals. Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 allows companies to integrate Voice over Internet Protocol technology into existing telephony infrastructure. The software giant hopes t...
Despite the multiple millions of dollars being poured into its development, Internet Protocol Television is still not an eminent threat to old fashioned cable -- but it is edging closer to "prime-time" status. Microsoft is billing its TV IPTV Edition as "better TV, not 'me too' TV." Nortel, Cisco an...
As we approach the end of the year, thoughts traditionally turn to the future. I thought I'd get an early start. Near term we have the widely rumored launch of the new Apple Newton, uh, I mean iPhone. A little further out we have the emergence of true telepresence -- which brings the possibility tha...
The Internet, a ubiquitous and essential fixture in just about every developed nation, is slowly but surely reaching into some of the world's most remote outposts -- courtesy of such companies as Intel, Cisco and Embratel. As part of World Ahead, a new initiative established earlier this year to bri...
A decade ago, Microsoft thought it could ignore bureaucratic rumblings with little or no fallout. That attitude led to the historic Microsoft antitrust trial and the realization that bureaucrats can indeed wield bigtime impact. Google is now learning a similar lesson, albeit in a different way. In...
Shareholders approved last week the merger of Lucent and Alcatel, a deal first announced in March. The pairing is one of a handful that has taken place in the telecommunications equipment market since the year began. The changes underscore the diminishing vitality of the telecom equipment market and...
Intel this week announced the availability of its new hardware and software technology known as vPro, which the chip giant said can cut energy use and costs for enterprise IT shops while giving them more advanced remote management and security control. Claiming vPro can deliver business IT organizat...
Cisco sealed a deal this week to buy another consumer-oriented technology company, this time acquiring video-on-demand player Arroyo Video Solutions for US$92 million. The Arroyo buy is representative of the dominant networking gear maker's overall effort to connect to homes the way it has to busine...
Is identity theft on the rise, or is it a problem that has been vastly overhyped? Recent incidents of lost or stolen laptops have focused public attention on the huge amount of personal information that can very easily make its way outside the control of corporate IT. However, in spite of so many in...
Critics are cautious about early versions of 802.11n technology developed for WiFi applications, saying these so-called "souped-up" wireless fidelity networks have poor range, uneven throughput, and have difficulty interfacing with existing WiFi networks. Wireless manufacturers, including Netgear, L...
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...
Convergence is a common theme among telecommunications and cable television suppliers. These companies think that by offering a portfolio of bundled voice, video and data services they will be able to gain customers and increase their market share. This desire has created a ripple effect in the netw...
