The rumors of Apple planning on a billion dollar server farm are hot and heavy. It may be so much talk, the general idea might be right but the amount grossly exaggerated, or it could be accurate. Apple certainly has need for servers -- maybe management's hoping that more hardware might fix the note...
Apple has finagled a $300 million tax cut from North Carolina lawmakers in exchange for investing $1 billion over nine years for a so-called technology "hub." The deal is as shrouded in mystery as an Orson Welles movie, with dark subplots and hidden agendas. The bill has been written with a singl...
The latest estimates on technology wages in the US are in from tech recruiting firm Yoh. Their take "[b]ased on conversations with more than 9,000 hiring managers in over 15 major metropolitan areas" is that -- surprise, surprise -- wages are pretty flat compared to 2009. Here's a look at the data:
Sometimes I'm torn on a headline. In this case, I considered writing that Sirius XM was trying to rewrite its past and future, because that is essentially what it's trying to do. Via Silicon Alley Insider, I heard about CEO Mel Karmazin's presentation at the annual shareholder's meeting. It smacks of management trying to pretty up what has happened and what might.
Would-be Google competitors in Web search make two fundamental mistakes that doom their efforts from the outset: one is competing with Google on its own terms, and the other is drumming up hype that their search engines can't possibly match. But Microsoft's new Web search engine, apparently dubbe...
There's a new investment in Facebook setting off the terrible storm of valuation second guessing. "A Russian company paid $200 million for 2 percent, but Microsoft paid $240 million for 1.6 percent, and that means the company's worth this -- at the moment." It's industry gossip passed breathlessly from VC to reporter to pundit, and it means absolutely nothing.
Nokia's launch of its Ovi mobile application store was a fiasco, and bodes ill for the world's leading handset vendor's hopes of catching up with Apple. As paradoxical as that statement seems, Nokia is indeed chasing the momentum and cachet Apple enjoys, in large part because of the very iTunes App ...
Every time there is news of a new search engine, pundits start asking the question, "Is it the Google killer?" Although this seems like more of the tired horse race journalism that James Fallows described in his 1996 book, Breaking the News, there actually is something to it. Only the target of the crosshairs is not Google, but text search itself, because it certainly cannot continue as we know it.
Now this one really caught me off guard: Twitter is going Hollywood. Twitter co-founder Biz Stone confirmed multiple media reports (probably re-Tweeted thousands of times) that, "Twitter plans to launch an unscripted show that will put 'ordinary people on the trail of celebrities in a revolutiona...
It's taken over twenty years for Apple to get to where it can seriously rival Microsoft on the desktop, and ironically, for this could happen, the desktop had to become an anachronism. Another irony is that Microsoft is ignoring the signs of change, just as IBM did before being swamped by the Mic...
FCC to investigate Arbitron over possible minority undercounting; Amazon countersues Discovery Communications for alleged patent infringement; Intel expects an "uphill battle" on EU antitrust charges, while Nvidia and AMD accuse it of additional anticompetitive actions; Craigslist and South Carolina square off; Vizio sues Funai over patents; a married couple simultaneously sue Google, he on patents and she on trademark; and Microsoft and the Linux Foundation both oppose implied warranties on software.
Sometimes the world seems so strange that you have to step back and wonder. From what I can tell, there is an upsurge of high tech for -- wait for it -- Klingon aficionados.
Cisco hopes to do more than simply secure a large part of the smart grid market for itself; it's also hoping that its technology helps prevent the kind of cyber-security breaches that could threaten the nation's security. Cisco, SAP, Oracle, IBM, Google and GE are just a few of the major technolo...
The rumors are flying that Apple is preparing a tablet form netbook, as noted Larry Dignan at our sister site ZDNet. And as my colleague Michael Hickins so correctly notes, the company has multiple good reasons to make the push. But I think ultimately it are doomed to failure, caught in the cross fi...
An Apple netbook makes sense from so many perspectives that it's impossible to believe this isn't the direction Apple is taking. Netbooks are smaller, lighter and inexpensive versions of laptop notebooks, a trick that is achieved by substituting cloud-based computing for most computing tasks comm...
