HP must now realise that it bought a hangover of legal woes when it bought EDS. The British High Court ruled that EDS had been deceitful and deliberately misrepresented how long it would take to complete the CRM contract. This case has repercussions for all IT providers: An over-enthusiastic sales team can lead to being sued for fraud.
For those interested in the legal side, this is an in-depth breakdown (although it is very dry reading): http://www.law.com/jsp/lawtechnologynews/PubArticleLTN.jsp?i...
The writer is not stating that there is no God. He is stating that the premise that we need God to have morality is false. Human society intrinsically has to be moral in order to function. It is the model that best works, and when there is an exception, say a psychopath killing women, society will punish that person (whether you believe it is the hand of God or not). The idea that an atheist, or secular, society would irrevocably slide into amoral behaviour is simply illogical.
I work in publishing for a niche trade title and I hear this a lot. In fact, I loathe ads too.
In the days of print, trade titles had a limited circulation. It was easier for them to get advertisers because the title was guaranteed to hit the desk of the CEO or CIO, which was the target for that particular advertiser. Now it's all about traffic and the competition online is far more intense.
Sadly AdBlock will not revolutionise the entire publishing industry. Instead it will hurt it. It is only going to put more pressure on sales guys to hit their targets which means more ads at vastly reduced prices. It will also cause online publishers to close, and put people out of work. The rest will resort to sensationalist journalism tactics and those terrible list type stories: "10 best diets for a flat tummy". It's either that or a paywall system like Murdoch is putting in place.
What is a 'more sustainable source of income' for online publishing?
Shame, I can't see this video from UK. 'Not available in your country'. Still don't understand the reasoning behind regional limits on online video - esp as it airs on TV.
If you read the story, he's actually plugging his wares too. But he says Android and Symbian will be a bigger target for hackers than the iPhone, as it will become more popular. Interesting, as Apple fanboys often say Macs don't get viruses - ie does the same logic apply to their smartphones.
Kaspersky is quite wacky. He wants a database of smartphone owners
"because smartphones are already becoming devices in which people store and organise their whole lives, Kaspersky believes the time has come for a database of smartphone owners. Much like gun ownership, Kaspersky outlined, smartphone owners would need to register their handsets. The handsets themselves would have a unique identifier code associating the handset with the owner. Access to the handset would be controlled by a PIN code or even a biometric fingerprint reader."
I use Hootsuite, instead of Adobe's TweetDeck, because it's a web-based app and I'm a pointy clicky type of person.
I don't have an iPhone, but if I did I'd use Tweetie.
It really depends on how you use Twitter, but Mashable have a great guide include a list of their picks of best apps. http://mashable.com/guidebook/twitter/
Wow, he lied to his employer and colleagues, and now he claims that it was a Microsoft plot? This guy has utterly ruined his credibility and was exposed - thanks to ZDnet and also Gregg Keizer at Computerworld US. (Full disclosure: I work for IDG).
