I just signed up for Comcast for an apartment I'm renting in California. (Yes, I'm bicoastal now ... I own my place in NYC and I rent here in downtown Palo Alto.) Either way, I went to the Comcast store and got a little self-install kit that comes complete with …

Hey guys...having some serious trouble with configuring Exchange Server 2013 on Server 2012 for sending and receiving emails to and from the internet. Sending and receiving internally works great. However, Comcast blocks port 25 and running the MX record check over at DNSstuff.com reports that the MX record points to …

Buried in all the Google Buzz hype today was a[URL="http://techcrunch.com/2010/02/10/google-fiber-optic-network-home/"] little story on TechCrunch[/URL] that Google is planning to offer [I]1 gigabit-per-second[/I], super-duper, high-speed fiber-optic cable in up to 50,000 homes in the US shortly. This is more significant to me than Google taking on Facebook. Think about this for …

I write a lot of about the battle among large technology corporations in this space and the importance of competitive checks and balances. Yet Comcast seems to be growing into a super power with control over the very pipes that provide many of us with internet access, but without any …

There has certainly been a lot FUD being spread around lately by the likes of [URL="http://www.comcast.com"]Comcast[/URL] about how [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer"]P2P[/URL] networks are filling up the Internet pipes. Just a couple of weeks ago, fellow Daniweb blogger, Davey Winder wrote (with tongue firmly in cheek), [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry2378.html"]The Internet is Full, please get off[/URL], …

I was watching an ad the other day for Panasonic where it showed people watching YouTube on a big flat screen TV in the living room. Yet most people don't watch content from the web on TV, probably because it still takes a technical leap that's simply too difficult for …

Is there hope for stocks in 2009? At all? A University of Iowa business professor things so, and he claims he has the data to prove it. It’s all about upside potential – and the fact that Wall Street has already baked a lot of the bad news into the …

One of my favorite things about Twitter is how people can use it to live-blog conferences they're attending. Case in point: today, I've been watching [URL="http://twitter.com/thornley"]Joseph Thornley[/URL], provide live commentary from the Canadian Institute Conference on Social Media. I've been learning about how the City of Calgary manages social media …

Internet Broadband subscribers are being peeled away by cable television and there’s really not much the phone companies can do about it, analysts say. That could move a lot of money around on Wall Street. According to Leichtman Research Group, cable companies added 887,000 high-speed Internet subscribers in the 2nd …
