More evidence that Google's Mojo is gone 27/08/2008 09:07:00
As I've written about in my column, Google has lost its mojo. Now even more evidence comes along: Google has eliminated its much-hyped free dinner policy. This is more than a merely cosmetic change. It may represent a turning point in the way Google treats its employees, and its ability to attract new ones. - +
Review: Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 -- fast, lean, effective 13/08/2008 11:34:24
Fans of all-in-one security suites should take a serious look at the just-released Kaspersky Internet Security 2009, which includes modules for antivirus, antispyware, firewall and more, yet uses little enough system resources and RAM that it won't slow down or clog up your system. - +
Why Google has lost its mojo 08/07/2008 12:02:58
Google went from startup to behemoth in record time. But there are increasing signs that Google has become just another fat, happy, and even arrogant company, no longer the lean, industry-changing giant of the past. And that spells good news for Microsoft. - +
14 vital Internet tools 25/06/2008 18:00:00
Like most people visiting this site, you most likely live on the Internet. And that means you need help -- help with your home or business network for accessing the Internet, help with troubleshooting, help with downloading, and with e-mail, instant messaging, and security. - +
Gates' historical legacy may focus more on philanthropy than on Microsoft 25/06/2008 11:39:12
With the impending retirement of Bill Gates from Microsoft comes an obvious question: How will history view him? As a founder of the world's most influential software vendor and one of the biggest creators of wealth ever? Or as a monopolist and digital robber baron? - +
OpenOffice 3.0 11/06/2008 13:50:00
OpenOffice 3.0 shows that you don't have to pay a bundle for a great office suite -- in fact, you don't even have to pay a penny. - +
Can OpenOffice 3.0 finally replace MS Office? 19/05/2008 08:41:19
If you think that you always get what you pay for, the just-released beta of OpenOffice 3.0 should convince you otherwise. This free, open source software suite provides most of what anyone could want in an office suite, including a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation program, database, drawing tools, and math equation editor. - +
Changes to UAC in Vista SP1: Much less than meets the eye 19/05/2008 12:43:21
A video is making the rounds showing how Vista SP1 has significantly improved Vista's immensely annoying User Account Control (UAC). But there appears to be less to the improvement than meets the eye --- hardly any changes were made to UAC in SP1, and it remains a very big Vista annoyance. - +
Memo to Microsoft: Annoyance is not a security plan 15/04/2008 12:39:34
Last week a Microsoft exec revealed that Vista's User Account Control (UAC) scheme was designed from the ground up to keep people safe by constantly annoying them. Microsoft needs to learn that security through annoyance isn't the way to keep users safe --- or to keep them as customers. - +
It's time for Microsoft to give up on the Yahoo deal 10/04/2008 11:42:23
The latest figures for share of the search market should convince Microsoft it's time to give up trying to buy Yahoo. Buying Yahoo won't help in the fight against Google -- it'll only weigh down Microsoft with a sinking company. - +
Why Windows is safer than the Mac 04/04/2008 11:55:31
Mac users have long gloated that the Mac OS is safer than Windows. The gloating should stop: There's plenty of recent evidence that Vista is, in fact, a safer operating system than Mac OS X.
