Some companies in the telco part of the world have longed to rule the data center since the days when VMware really started to take off. I wonder in Verizon's case how their brand reputation plays.

Your #2 tip re. location privacy is important. I am suprised how many people don't understand this. Readers, what other Facebook on iPhone mysteries baffle you?

In the context of big data, 54 terabytes is no big deal. I don't get why the National Archives has cut off what they will save at 14 terabytes. Why not save it. You never know when some future revelation or future form of...

This is bonafide proof that Windows 8 tablets will fly off the shelves for $99.00. That's about all.

Get off Facebook button and stop posting every life event. That would work for TMI , a shrug, and really any post. People are just spending way too much time on Facebook!

That's a good tip, too. Consider how in-demand the skill set is before you set your rate. And I love the Bitcoin reference.

Looks like a password in tandem with a biometric component or a token will be the new normal. Hopefully soon. It's become clear that a password alone, even a "strong" one, is not enough to secure you. I'm embarrassed to...

How about the "get off my lawn" button for when we are feeling old and grumpy and those lil whippersnappers are complaining about their 10th high school reunions?

You're right, Doug. Telcos had billing by the minute or hour down flat as the infrastructure companies struggled to create the software to do it. CenturyLink, NTT and others have since moved into cloud ocmputing. Verizon...

Passwords will may disappear to a large extent at some point. What to replace it with? I like some sort of multi-factor system, e.g., a password, a generated token (app, text, voice), and a biometric (fingerprint,...
