Even if the charges against a suspect are later dropped or thrown out of court because the suspect was wrongfully accused, that person's DNA is on file. Add that to the footprinting of newborns in hospital to prevent kidnapping or accidental baby swapping (even though that occurs less than one time in 10,000), the monitoring of our phone calls and Internet access, and now the possibility that our own mobile devices can be used to spy on us, and you have a surveillance Web over Americans that Uncle Joe Stalin would have been proud of...

Better information can help consumers choose broadband services that are right for them, reasoned Joel Gurin, chief of the FCC's consumer and governmental affairs bureau. "Today, most people just know that their home broadband speed is supposed to be 'blazing fast,'" he said. "They need more meaningful information to know exactly what speed they need for the applications they want to run, and what provider and plan is their best choice."

Bright Triumphs From Dark Hours stories include those of Joel Klein, Shirley Ann Jackson, Steve Case and my favorite, Pattie Dunn. I followed HP closely for a number of decades and was very impressed with Pattie's running of their board. She was backstabbed by several good old boys on the board and contracted cancer at the low point in this story. However, this forced her to rethink her priorities, and she is vastly more active in organizations that help others as a result. ...

What if you answered the phone one day to a friendly voice offering tech support for some software that had been troubling you? "Not possible," you'd say. We all know the drill with technical difficulties. We call up the software company during business hours and then sit on hold only to get an agent who barely knows the software better than we do. A knowledgeable tech support specialist certainly isn't going to call us at the moment when we're beating our heads against the computer screen. Or will they?...

The emerging VDI and application virtualization markets are a different story. Only about 5 percent to 8 percent of organizations worldwide have fully virtualized their desktop infrastructure. So it's too soon to declare a clear market winner. It's safe to say that Citrix, Microsoft and VMware are all market leaders in this segment. This time around, though, Microsoft and Citrix are determined not to let VMware and EMC run away with the race by building an insurmountable lead. Meanwhile, VMware and EMC have not been idle. Former Microsoft executive Paul Maritz succeeded VMware founder Diane Greene following her 2008 departure as the company's president and chief executive officer. Since then, he has made tangible moves to bolster VMware's position in the VDI and application virtualization arenas. Maritz and EMC CEO Joe Tucci make a formidable combination, as do EMC and VMware. ...
