The controversial bill, first introduced by Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Sen.

In the states, U.S. Senators Joe Lieberman and Susan Collins are once again pushing the 200-page "Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act," which would appoint a new bureaucrat -- the director of cyberspace policy -- and grant the president broad powers that could include turning off the Internet.

Long, broad non-compete agreements are common between businesses -- John sells John's Plumbing to Joe, for instance, and promises not to compete for five years. But between employer and employee, they tend to last only a year, Barnes & Thornburg's Nolan explained. It's all part of reasonableness. "There's a general policy consideration that we don't want to prevent people from getting jobs," Nolan said...

EMC CEO and Chairman Joe Tucci called the company's "Smartest System" launch event in New York City, "not just largest in the history of the company but of the industry" -- but was that a fact or mere PR-speak? For my money, it was the former. The event found EMC playing at t...

While the app may make it a little more convenient for Starbucks regulars to pay for their daily cuppa joe, it's still limited to a single retailer. Meanwhile, other technologies are making it possible for customers to pay at a wide variety of locations simply by flashing a cellphone...

Technology may be blamed for the hyperspeed and massive accessibility of information, but Joe Public cannot be held responsible for shattering the credibility of sacred institutions. However, it seems that technology now provides a halo for the enlightenment of Joe public. Tr...

"IBM has a data center in Raleigh, N.C., that serves both its internal computing system and external customers, and that can deliver cold air to a spot in the data center that needs it," Joe Clabby, president of Clabby Analytics, told TechNewsWorld.

The challenges that all enterprises face today are numerous -- store more data, provide more services, control costs, and now monitor and manage energy costs and carbon impacts. Today there is mounting pressure on CIOs and CFOs to deliver improved services while curtailing costs. To transition IT organizations into service providers for their businesses, CIOs must be empowered with new levels of visibility into the financial and environmental impacts of their IT services and the facilities where they operate.

The websites of PostFinance and even Senator Joe Lieberman, who spoke out against WikiLeaks over Cablegate, were also attacked. The attackers were the groups Anonymous and Operation Payback, and you can see a partial list of the attacks on Panda Labs' security blog Hundreds, i...

"Right now, we're still getting the early adopters, the hardcore gamers," Joe Bentley, VP of engineering at OnLive told TechNewsWorld.

However, all too often, joint venture executives are chosen to be (and tend to remain) subservient to their organization's owners. The choice of a front-rank exec like Capellas suggests that CEOs John Chambers (Cisco) and Joe Tucci (EMC) wanted a leader for VCE whose stature and ambition was equal to their own. That decision bodes well for VCE and should help make the coalition more formidable, more quickly, than some may choose to believe...

Joe Barton, a Texas Republican and ranking member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, issued a statement saying there wasn't enough time to examine the bill's potential impact on the broadband industry before the end of the current Congressional session.
