The 43-count indictment accuses Lowson and colleagues Kristofer Kirsch, Faisal Nahdi and Joel Stevenson of various criminal acts, including wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Lowson, Kirsch and Stevenson also face charges of gaining unauthorized access and exceeding authorized access to computer systems, and causing damage to computers in interstate commerce...

Of course, Google has had to service customers for over a decade, and judging by its market cap, it does a pretty good job at it. However, those customers are mostly businesses that want to buy advertising, not Joe-Kegerators who want to buy what looks to be a snappy little smartphone...

It is true that Google's Gmail has a much bigger base of users, and therefore a much stronger foundation for launching something like Buzz. And the media spotlight burns hotter and brighter on Google right now than on any other tech company with the notable exception of Apple. However, we're still talking about another megaphone being added to the cacophony of voices on the Web. The new devices that give us Internet access on the go aren't filtering anything; they're magnifying the effect, and while media junkies and technophiles might be able to handle it after a while, it's going to take longer for the average Joe or Jane to get over their intimidation factors. And that's where the real money and critical mass is for Google: converting the average folks who have become quite comfortable with Facebook and may have even learned to post photos of their grandkids on it...

Is social media in reality becoming an antisocial media, as Joe Social has little or no real relationship with Jane Public, except as a spectator cheering at dull events? Is it creating its own social ghettos, where micro-gatherings are only blocking crowd-gathering? Will this fad mold into another form of personal personification, like an old phone directory -- but with pictures and some quirky messages? ...

The Tenenbaum case Panzer referred to is that of Joel Tenenbaum, a student also accused by the RIAA of illegal file-sharing. Last year, a jury awarded $675,000 to the companies the RIAA represents, though Tenebaum reportedly plans to appeal Another judge is not obligated to ta...

Whither Joel Tenenbaum? Davis is not the only judge to have expressed concern over the size of the penalties. In another case that went to trial last year, Joel Tenenbaum, a Boston University student from Providence, R.I., was ordered to pay $675,000 to four record labels for ...

It's obvious now that the race is on, remarked Joe Cufari, VP of Personal Communications Devices (formerly Audiovox Communications) "The new model may eventually move to little to no subsidy, and the device will be underwritten by the advertising that will exist on it," he tol...

The key to these devices will be pricing, said Joe Cufari, VP of Personal Communications Devices (formerly Audiovox Communications) "If the cost of the device includes the network cost and the material which people download is less expensive, as it is with other readers today,...

"If this is an effort to pass off the XP desktop theme as the XP operating system, I don't think it is going to work," Joe Casad, editor in chief ofUbuntu User magazine, told LinuxInsider "The irony is that this faux Windows system will be safer, more stable and less susceptib...

From a technology perspective, this decade -- with Apple and Google being exceptions -- sucked. There were some interesting things that happened that set us up for the teen decade, though, and that fuel anticipation for the 20s, which a hundred years ago, was actually a decade of wonder and excitement (and had a better name). ...

"For 10 years, passenger advocates and some legislators have been trying to get a passenger bill of rights passed that would include these provisions," Joel Smiler, a volunteer at the Coalition for Flyers Rights, told CRM Buyer. "The airline industry lobby is so strong it has always managed to keep it from becoming law."

Dual announcements captured the attention of industry officials and consumer advocates: Vice President Joe Biden announced the initial list of 18 projects to receive federal broadband stimulus funds, while Washington was still buzzing over the late Wednesday release of Federal Communications Commission proposals for bringing more U.S. homes under the high-speed Internet access umbrella...

Botnets embody the ultimate blended threat. Botnet code carries almost every conceivable form of malware -- from spyware to downloaders, rootkits, spam engines and more. To answer like with like, defenders must employ multiple layers of security. ...

Then there's the idea of the experience economy and customer experience. In the late 1990s, Joe Pine and Jim Gilmore wrote The Experience Economy and in it said that what customers hungered for was experiences more than products and services. A transcendent experience based on a company's product or service would ensure greater success in the market -- that was the trend. But somehow every CRM vendor started adding the idea of customer experience to nearly every aspect of business -- the misconception. To paraphrase Joe Biden's critique of Rudy Giuliani, every marketing statement had a noun, a verb and the customer experience. ...

There are thousands of such "creative elements" that can be manipulated to create an optimal display ad, according to a blog post by Google's Neal Mohan, VP of product management, and Joerg Heilig, engineering director "These elements can be optimized depending on factors like...

There's no long tail for the Playboy bunny, judging from the rumored impending sale of Hefner's company for around US$300 million to Iconix, collector of apparel brands like Candies and Joe Boxer. The 83-year-old Hefner, who for better or worse helped change the way the U.S. thought about sex, will have to spend his remaining days on Earth watching the bunny head logo he turned into a global brand show up on all manner of clothes. More than a tad ironic when you consider he made his name talking women out of their threads...

Network forensics is the capture, storage and analysis of network traffic. You might also hear the term referred to as "packet mining," "packet forensics," or "digital forensics." Regardless of the name, the concept is the same, with the objective to record every packet and the data it contains moving across the network and storing it for some period of time.

I sat down with Joe Bergera, GM of Sage CRM solutions, and Larry Ritter, EVP of Sage's business solutions division, for a discussion about the CRM business. Here are some highlights. Aggressive Outreach...

In responding to the two arguments, the Supreme Court may well split the difference, suggested Joe Lancer, a patent attorney at Seyfarth Shaw. "While it is unlikely that the Supreme Court will grant carte blanche patent protection to mere ideas and thoughts such as those that...

Some Apple users are already switching -- though the Mac faithful will likely blast those who go public,as Joe Wilcox did. However, if the world is moving to a new model -- with hosted services and computers that look more like an iPhone, BlackBerry or set-top box -- is Wind...
