Blog: Who's Making the Operating System for my House? 07 July, 2008 14:35:50
I had to reboot my house this morning. The recessed lighting units in the kitchen and dining rooms weren't working; clicking the on-off switches and sliding the dimmer buttons didn't produce any effect. And I noticed that the cable TV control unit had relapsed into a state called "Setup" and I couldn't get all the channels. So I decided to just flip the main breaker switch and turn off power to the whole house and then bring everything back up again. - +

Microsoft Silverlight shines through 27 June, 2008 15:53:17
A hat-trick of technology stories has caught my attention in recent weeks. The first one was Google launching its App Engine, essentially a competitor to Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) web-based environment and Microsoft's tranche of Live services. It's an environment where you're again using external systems for processing and storage. Interesting, but CIOs will quite rightly ask what the benefit is for them. - +

Last month CIO.com sister publication PCWorld.com posted an article entitled "BlackBerry Bold Beats iPhone to the 3G Punch." The story was written to announce the official unveiling of RIM's latest-and greatest to date-BlackBerry smartphone, but it rubbed me the wrong way from the start. - +

Blog: Apple iPhone 3G This, RIM BlackBerry Bold That: How Important is 3G REALLY? 20 June, 2008 14:14:00
With the unveiling of Research In Motion's (RIM) BlackBerry Bold in May and Apple's next-generation iPhone 3G a month later, there's been a lot of hype around third-generation (3G) data connections for smartphones. Frankly, I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. - +

Selling zero-day exploits has a down side 07 July, 2008 10:16:36
There is an ongoing argument about the ethics of selling 0-day exploits on the open market: It helps if you don't sell exploits targeting the company you work for.Information Security can sometimes be a funny field to work in.

It does help if you don't work for one of the companies that is set to be affected by the exploits you are trying to sell and aren't trying to bootstrap a competing company in the process. - +
