Gordon Haff
Arms merchant or army? That's a fundamental question for vendors in the cloud computing space. Do they just sell their tooling to any and all comers, who then become the actual purveyors of hosted infrastructure, developer platforms, and software? Or do they offer their own cloud-based services, perhaps even keeping much of their technology in-house for competitive advantage?

Groups Join Fight to Keep Big Brother Offline
Don Reisinger
Much has been made over the possibility of the U.S. government spying on Web users. There is a fear that through advanced technology, loopholes in federal regulations, and sheer gall, government officials will engage in acts that put the U.S. citizenry at risk. But whether or not the government is actually engaging in any activities online that puts its intentions into question is up for debate.

Total Telephony Transcends Telepresence
11|20|09   |   2:11   |   2 comments

The problem with telepresence is that it's not universally accepted, because video calling isn't. While we can all do video calling, we also apparently worry too much about how we look. If we want HD telepresence in our future, we have to dress down, mess up our hair, and dive into our online life.

America Has Much to Learn About Digital Piracy
11|18|09   |   2:09   |   No comments

The US loses about $20 billion a year on pirated software, movies, and music. But public policy can help stem the tide of digital theft. For example, France has recently passed a 'three strikes and you’re out' law, whereby if after two warning letters an individual continues to download pirated software then his Internet access will be cut off. US policy makers should consider adopting similar policies.
