If you took part in Thursday's live online presidential town-hall meeting, you had the chance to submit your questions to President Obama via text or video. Then you got to vote on the popularity of the questions, effectively ranking them for the president's staff to consider. So some might think so...
The first tech media darling has already blasted its way through the clutter at the annual Game Developers Conference in San Francisco -- OnLive, the new company to come from longtime serial tech entrepreneur Steve Perlman. Phrases like "game changer" are being tossed about to describe OnLive's tech...
It is supposed to revolutionize the way electricity is delivered and managed. It has $4.5 billion targeted for it in the Obama economic stimulus package. However, the so-called smart grid, as it is being developed today, won't be able to outsmart hackers looking to damage the U.S.'s utility infrast...
This is how a major newspaper dies, and is reborn online, in real-time: Shortly after 10 a.m. Pacific on Monday, I find out the fate of the 146-year-old Seattle Post-Intelligencer on -- where else -- Twitter. P-I "Big Blog" reporter Monica Guzman tweets the breaking news: "Publisher Roger Oglesby ju...
Television network, meet social network. Hulu, the online video lovechild of Fox and NBC, announced Thursday the addition of Hulu Friends, which gives users the opportunity to set up profiles, share favorite episodes of hit shows like "24" or "The Office" and leave Facebook-style updates on each oth...
After sifting through a long list of stories, headlines, podcasts and, yes, tweets about Twitter over the past week -- only one week, mind you -- I have just one question on my microblog-addled mind: Would the news media shut up already about Twitter and just buy the damn thing? I first floated the ...
Example No. 2,351 that it's a Google world and we're all just living in it: The search giant announced late Wednesday a slow rollout of Google Voice, the company's first attempt at unified communications. But Google Voice could also serve as a clarion call that a different kind of competitor may hav...
It certainly meets the Tom Clancy High-Tech Battlefield Seal of Approval, but it also hopes to take advantage of new stimulus-package spending that should result in new construction projects nationwide. These are the potential markets Dell is targeting with its new XFR E6400 Latitude rugged laptop c...
The revolving door at the Department of Homeland Security's National Cybersecurity Center continues to spin at warp speed, with the announcement late last week that yet another U.S. cybersecurity czar is leaving the agency. Rod Beckstrom, who became NCC director a year ago, complained in his resigna...
Reuters reports that one in five U.S. mortgages are underwater; the people paying them owe more than their house is worth. The real flood, however, is swamping the Internet, where gloomy financial news headlines and the antics of TV-based business reporters threaten to inundate your typical Web surf...
Still smarting from a long-ago Best Picture snub for "A Few Good Men," I chose not to watch the Oscars this year because -- well, I can't handle the truth. So I got my Oscar news and views from various live blogging efforts that delivered their own snarkified take on Hollywood's idea of honoring tru...
What Hulu giveth, Hulu taketh away. At first applauded for its openness in providing its content to other distributors, the online streaming video company -- a joint venture of NBC Universal and News Corp. -- this week pulled back that content from Web-to-TV software provider Boxee and TV.com, CBS's...
It's June 1991, and I'm starting a new job as a reporter for the ABC affiliate in Dallas, WFAA-TV. It's intimidating as hell because the station's reputation in the industry is stellar, and I'm not sure I can measure up. After all, not long after my first day there, I'm watching PBS and seeing the m...
If Alec Baldwin wants to help the free Web video service Hulu turn its users' brains into mush -- as per its new TV commercial unveiled during the Super Bowl -- he will have to do so without the help of Web-to-TV application Boxee. Boxee announced Wednesday that Hulu, co-owned by NBC and Fox, had as...
I hadn't intended to write about Sirius XM so soon after last week's column, but the satellite radio company's financial woes were sending me a clear signal -- one uninterrupted by tunnels, mountains, sunspots and more than US$3 billion in debt. I mentioned Sirius XM last week in reference to Congre...
Apple's iPhone App Store can seem just as crowded as the real-world Apple Stores can get during the holiday shopping season at your nearest mall. Developers are racing to provide applications that bring more multimedia and data to your phone of choice, and it's that kind of growth that is prompting ...
Can the wide-open vistas of the imagination that were unlocked by famed authors Edgar Rice Burroughs, Rudyard Kipling and Charles Dickens really be enjoyed on a 3.5-inch smartphone screen? Will the wit of Mark Twain's "Roughing It" or the subtle comedy of manners found in Jane Austen's "Emma" come a...
With apologies to Oliver Stone, I have a conspiracy theory of my own regarding the real reason for the recent delay in the transition from analog to digital television. Those endless public service announcements reminding us all of the previous February switchover date have become just so darn popul...
It's not "Star Trek" and Dr. "Bones" McCoy's tricorder sensor, but it is one step closer to where no medical patient has gone before; the ability to stream his or her vital signs from a health monitoring device to a computer, thanks to a partnership announced Thursday by IBM and Google. IBM's new so...
Anyone using Google between 9:30 and 10:30 a.m. EST on Saturday saw an interesting message pop up alongside nearly all their search results: "This site may harm your computer." Users may indeed know that Web sites sometimes harbor suspicious computer code that can dump spyware or worse on their comp...
