Sirius XM has been notifying subscribers of a price hike that the company ascribes to increased music royalties that the service is incurring. But while the company is getting charged more, the subscription increases far outstrip the higher royalties, seeming to put the company in conflict with a promise it made the FCC at the time of the merger between former competitors Sirius and XM.
Microsoft has seen the fury of the masses and like Atlas, shrugged. A Twitter campaign astroturfed by email marketing campaign vendor Freshview is asking (or is it begging?) Microsoft to reverse course on a key technology decision made for Office 2007 in its next release of Outlook, slated for ne...
By allowing the Web to become a universal operating system, and making mobile devices more powerful than low-end laptops, HTML 5 is transforming IT more profoundly than any development since the advent of the Internet. As HTML 5 becomes the widely-adopted standard for authoring on the Web, it will r...
Being underwater seems to be a fact of life for the US Patent and Trademark Office, and things have only been getting worse. With current applications down, so are fees and, therefore, USPTO revenues. The agency has frozen hiring and just cut examiner overtime, meaning that patent applications will only pile up even more. Will a Senate attempt to throw a lifeline help?
When you hear corporations beating their chests over their competitive position, there's always a good bet they are trying to make things look sunnier. My colleague Michael Hickins caught Oracle in posturing. But he mentioned SAP claiming that, where it competes with Oracle, it was "doing very well, thank you." So I dug up SAP's last financial statement, and if that's doing well, I'd hate to be doing badly.
Two diametrically different companies -- Fortune 100 IT vendor HP, and tiny Norwegian browser company Opera -- have separately demonstrated how a subtle but important shift in the technology landscape could eat into the fabric of Google's revenue tapestry. According to HP's Billy Hoffman, who d...

Statistics are a dangerous tool in the hands of the unwary or uncaring. If you don't know how they work, you can be conned, and if you don't care about how you use them, you can fool at least some of the people some of the time. In high tech, the people fooled are often in the press, a fact PR peopl...
Listening to GameStop is like hearing an investment bank's CEO in March 2008 telling stockholders not to worry, that all is well and in control. Of course, little would have been well and nothing was in control. GameStop management is whistling past the graveyard. Just as a report comes out of how company management has decided that downloading simply isn't in the near-term cards for gamers, along comes Best Buy and its plan to really enter the used game business, which represents the big margin boost for GameStop.

Barak Obama last week announced David Kappos as his choice to head the US Patent and Trademark Office. That wasn't completely unexpected -- in fact, back in May, I suggested that evidence indicated that Kappos would get the nod. The question now is what this means for high tech and other industries.
Apple and Google have begun a revolution in mobile computing, but they won't be the ones to finish it. They will have their part in the world to come, but the true masters of the mobile application space are unknown and probably manifold. End users have already shown that they're even ready to pa...
MySpace may have taken an ax to roughly 30 percent of its U.S. employees, but that's nothing compared to what owner News Corp. is doing in other countries. An elimination of upwards of two-thirds of non-American staff suggest that the company is going to focus most of its resources on one or two markets where it thinks it has the best chance to actually make money.
IBM's $100 million investment in mobile applications is as safe a bet as covering both odd and even numbers on the roulette wheel.
