Mathew Ingram: “A Twitter post (fittingly enough) caught my eye and sent me to a WordPress post in which newly-enriched founder Matt Mullenweg announced a Twitter-style group blog theme for WordPress called Prologue. Although I’m sure some will see this as Automattic going after Twitter, I see it more as a tribute to the power [...]
Search Engine Watch: “[V]oice search won’t achieve ubiquity until it’s faster to talk than type.”
My only response to this is, “On what planet is it faster to type on a mobile phone than it is to state a voice command?” You *might* be able to make that argument on the PC (it is a stretch [...]
It is sad that Al Davis, the man who coined the phrase “Just win, baby”, has been reduced to weird antics and threats to remove his staff when in fact it is he that has lost control of his franchise. He owns the franchise and has the right to fire who he wants to, but [...]

This is a great event to learn more about what Microsoft is doing in the security domain and also provides an opportunity to network with other people concerned about security issues.
It seems that this format war between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray comes down to who writes the biggest check, doesn’t it? Warner just decided to drop HD-DVD like a bad habit based on “Q4 sales”. Adjusted for availability of content, I’m pretty sure that Blu-ray hasn’t outsold HD-DVD so I’m not sure what sales figures they’re [...]
