April 23, 2013

The Rebirth of PCs, or Telling IT to Frack Off Again

April 15, 2013

I've been watching the horrid numbers surrounding the PC market with double digit declines and folks increasingly talking about the "death of the PC," but I don't think the PC is dying any more than computing was dying when the PC was created. What we are seeing is a rapid evolution of the platform ...

Konnichi-Whoops! Japanese City Accidentally Tweets About North Korean Attack

Pirate Bay Proxy Operator's Bank Account Seized

April 4, 2013

The Netherlands has had the damnedest time blocking The Pirate Bay.

The Fall of Apple and the Return of BlackBerry

March 25, 2013

We tend to be slow to see change. If a company is on top, like Apple was, it takes a lot for us to see its fortunes have changed, as they clearly have post-Jobs. If a company is on the bottom, like BlackBerry was, it may be even tougher to see it on the rebound. We simply don't like the change in ...
