With nearly simultaneous announcements Monday at the National Association of Broadcasters trade show in Las Vegas, Microsoft and Adobe have started a turf war over the future of Internet video and next-generation rich Internet application solutions. On one hand, Microsoft announced Silverlight, whic...
A pair of hackers has threatened to engage in a self-described "attention-seeking ploy" next month by exposing security holes in social networking Web site MySpace. The duo, who call themselves "Mondo Armando" and "Mustachio," say they will launch attacks against the popular Web site each day in the...
Leading social networking site MySpace was forced to shut down hundreds of user profile pages after a combination worm and phishing attack struck the site over the weekend. The worm, discovered late last week, targeted the Javascript support code associated with Apple's QuickTime player in conjuncti...
Thin is all the rage these days in digital cameras. If a shutterbox can't fit in the pocket of a pair of designer jeans, some consumers will just turn their nose up at it. I'm not one of them. Thin has its merits, but so does substantial. Among these merits are more muscular zoom lenses -- 10x or mo...
Trading digital electronics for mechanical parts has given camera makers an opportunity to tinker with the design of their wares in inventive ways, none more so than Kodak. The Rochester, N.Y.-based company that brought film photography to the masses -- by making cameras easy to use and film easy to...
Small may be snazzy when it comes to gadgets, but for displays, bigger is better, especially when it comes to digital cameras. Those two-inch LCDs that used to be considered spacious now seem like postage stamps compared to the three- and 3.5-inch murals adorning the latest gallery of byte shooters ...
Microsoft came out swinging Monday, telling a European court that regulators made "serious errors" of judgment when they found the software maker guilty of antitrust behavior more than two years ago -- among them forcing it to produce a version of Windows that consumers don't want. Attorneys for Mic...
Last Friday -- essentially the eleventh hour of a years-long lawsuit -- Research In Motion reached a US$612.5 million settlement with NTP, relieving legions of customers who have come to feel they cannot possibly last very long without their BlackBerries. In this suit, NTP successfully challenged RI...
The software universe is teeming with programs for creating slideshows from digital images. Many of these applications fulfill their appointed task very well. But one snag for me when creating slideshows has been their file size. Although some programs claim they'll create slideshows suitable for po...
In a bid for mobile business customers, RealNetworks this week unveiled its next generation Helix Server. The Helix Server Unlimited is Real's enterprise solution for delivering streaming experience to wired, and now, wireless devices. The new version supports 3GPP technology. That allows enterprise...
Internet TV -- long hyped by Microsoft and other major computer industry players -- has a new advocate. A non-profit corporation is developing a free, open source, Internet TV (IPTV) platform with funding from technology industry luminaries Mitch Kapor and Andy Rappaport. The organization, Worcester...
At first blush, the idea seemed a little wacky to me. But when drug store giant CVS announced its US$29.95 one-time-use digital video camera (DVC), I couldn't resist the temptation to check it out. The video cameras are made by a San Francisco outfit called Pure Digital Technologies, which last summ...
Apple currently enjoys a market position that they haven't had since the beginning of the PC era. I often wonder if the Microsoft folks chuckle about the problems Apple is having as a result, problems that Microsoft has enjoyed for some time. When you dominate a segment, like Apple does with the iPo...
With last week's release of the Sony PSP in the U.S. market stealing the spotlight from the ("old-news") Apple iPod and details of the XBox likely to emerge at the upcoming E3 gaming conference, it is time to take a real look at how gaming is driving the future of PC technology and entertainment. Pe...
Apple FairPlay "consumer control" technology prevents people from playing iTunes tracks, which cost a dollar per track, on players Apple doesn't like, which is just about everything -- except iPods, of course. Apple wouldn't deal with RealNetworks to allow music from the RealPlayer music store to be...
Important to me so I can accept, deny, or customize my preferences before entering a website.
Inconvenient, but a fair exchange for knowing the website operator is likely serious about privacy and compliance.
An endless, unnecessary burden with a minimal effect that I wish was gone.
