Oracle's OpenOffice.org development team is testing a new user interface that resembles the "ribbon" interface that Microsoft introduced with Office 2007. This is far from the first attempt at breaking into the Microsoft desktop monopoly, but given Oracle CEO Larry Ellison's insatiable desire t...
The Twitter outage yesterday would have caused much uproar on the service had anyone been able to complain about it. Those in the media, frequently heavy users themselves (I include myself: @ErikSherman), poured on about the long incident. But I think that this was another in a list of prompts to as...
A variety of analyst sources are reporting that semiconductors may be on a bit of a rebound. Clearly it's too early to make any broad definitive statement, but on the plus side, indicators are up a bit in a variety of industry segments. Here are some of the data points:
AppleInsider has posted a story today about a new patent filing by Apple that would make it possible for portable devices to detect consumer abuse. For example, there would be evidence of exposure to cold, moisture, or heat at levels that would void a warranty. However, my own experience not only s...
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer spends a lot of time publicly mocking netbooks and Linux. He did it again last week during his meeting with financial analysts. But netbooks and Linux are the very things that secretly keep Ballmer up at night, because they threaten not just a few points of market share h...
Palm seems to be on an exec hiring spree. Only, if you're a recruiter, don't bother to call unless you've got a line on talent from Apple. Palm just snagged its fourth executive that spent time in Cupertino. Maybe the company is taking to heart the concept of an Apple a day keeping the doctor away, but you have to wonder whether it would better focus on realizing that to train for the long haul, a wind Sprint might not be the best training regime.
Google Wave may have a brilliant future, but its present is frustrating developers who've had a chance to work with it. Ben Rometsch, director of the Solid State Group, told me that the Wave user interface "yearns for super-fast Javascript performance," but doesn't get it, is very slow to debug a...
Many in tech are looking toward mobile devices to take the place of standard PCs, creating new opportunities for the industry overall and a complete upset in the pecking order. Intel and Microsoft would no longer dominate. New technical capabilities would open new worlds of advertising and marketing, providing additional revenue sources. But for all the talk of Apple versus Palm versus RIM and the millions of units sold, it's sobering to step away from the Kool-Aid counter and remember that in the big world of mobile devices, smartphones are a drop in the bucket and a long way from dominating consumer choices.
Alcatel-Lucent, the Franco-American marriage that seemed doomed from the start, continues to plod along, and expects to break even this year after a rocky recent past.

Apple will probably unveil its long-rumored tablet-type PC this fall, a device that is expected to be something between the iPod Touch and a netbook or smartbook, although probably priced on the high end of the netbook scale. Apple hasn't dilly-dallied for this long, however, just to introduce a min...
So much for the continued good news on the job cut front. According to the figures we just got from Challenger, Gray & Christmas for July, planned layoffs and cutbacks were up 31 percent from June, which isn't what you want to hear when looking forward to the eventual end of a recession. So how ...
Boy, try to take a day off and you find that major companies like Apple and AT&T have become so unhinged at their own actions and regulatory attention that they put on a public display almost guaranteed to turn into a long-running Corporate Keystone Cops. It was only last week when Apple turned...
Apple, and, especially, AT&T have tipped over the apple cart (pardon the pun) for the sake of something as insignificant as a wart on their fannies. The result will be very draconian net neutrality provisions affecting not only exclusive carrier deals with handset makers -- something we alre...
AT&T was behind Apple's decision to pull the Google Voice app from the iTune store after all. This isn't conjecture -- there is a smoking gun, which is the following response by an Apple customer service rep, posted by Google Voice developer Sean Kovacs: What a stupid move by AT&T; no...
Forrester has an interesting new report on its expected view of the e-book market. There's a growing number of owners (though I wonder if the figures take into account all the devices like smartphones and PDAs that could act as an e-book reader) and broader interest in the category. But the really i...
