To Cloud or Not to Cloud: IT Vendors Ponder the Question
Gordon Haff
Arms merchant or army? That's a fundamental question for vendors in the cloud computing space.

Stop Raining on the Cloud, Google!
11|10|09   |   2:18   |   No comments

What can users today do to protect their online privacy? The simplest and most obvious option is to not use the Internet – at all. However, once all digital information is consolidated over the Internet, trying to protect digital identity by simply unplugging from the Internet becomes impossible – a fact that has manifest implications for civil liberties, Saunders says.

Now that Bing has struck a deal with Twitter, its search service will have to process a tsunami of Tweets, many of which are worthless junk.
