My post the other day, Does Using Gmail Mean You're Stupid, produced some thoughtful comments from people that made me me think harder about the advantages and disadvantages of Cloud Computing. There are security risks and data ownership issues that you have to take into consideration. To get...

Richard Stallman, the founder of the Free Software Foundation, stated the other day that he thought Cloud Computing was stupid and we were all being duped by the cloud vendors. Specifically, in an interview with London's Guardian newspaper, he said, ""It's stupidity. It's worse than stupidity: it's...

Earlier this week Apple was adamant that it would close the iTunes Store if the Copyright Royalty Board raised the royalties paid to music publishers, rather than be forced into either accepting smaller margins on the music downloads it sells or be forced into hiking prices.
The way these things...

EddieC in a Nutshell
My first computer was an Atari 800, with which I played Zork and other adventure/fantasy games and dabbled with BASIC programs; circa 1980. After 1984, I moved on to PCs, clones and NetWare, and then to Apple IIs and Macs until 1990. In July of that year I got my first job at a publishing company,... (Read Blog)
With the first availability of an Android-based phone is only weeks away, it's my guess that T-Mobile's G1 phone will be the next big "must-have" gizmo for today's techno geeks. The carrier, which promised delivery on the Oct. 22 launch date to customers placing advance orders, has sold through its...

Of all the most cloying and over-rated virtues, for me self-deprecation is the worst. You know the sort of thing: people ask me what I do for a living and I tell them I write a bit, only when they press me do I confess that I write for most of the national press in the UK other than the tabloids....

I want to get to the impact of the current economic crisis on tech workers, but first a word on U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulsen, who engineered the mammoth $700 federal bailout of Wall Street with your tax dollars. And your kids' future tax dollars, and their kids' future tax dollars.

The stock market seems to be playing a waiting game with a Congressional bailout taking on a new shape in Washington. I’m hearing about a new bailout plan that would raise FDIC insurance limits from $100,000 to $250,000 and would include some kind of capital gains tax relief to ease pressure on...

I live and breathe technology news, it is what turns me on. Sad, but hey I am a news nerd, what can I say? (Read Blog)
As unlikely as it may sound, Elvis Presley has been cloned.
OK, it's a fair cop, not your actual Elvis Presley but rather his passport. According to reports a gang of Dutch hackers have managed to clone RFID driven e-passports of the type we are always being told are highly secure.

Peter Wood admits he walked unchallenged into an insurance company and was able to steal all their data. He is not in trouble though, it was part of a security exercise and he was hired to try and steal that data.
Of course, as Wood says, very often companies "unwittingly hire people whose sole...
