Eylül 9, 2025 • technewsworld.com

As I’m writing this, Microsoft is reporting a solid quarter with sales (or use) exceeding expectations significantly on four keystone products: Windows 7, Office 10, IE8, and the Xbox. While Steve Ballmer is clearly not performing at Steve Jobs’ incredible levels, Microsoft continues to generate cash at a rate that most companies, states and countries…

Regulators Take Aim at Genomics

Eylül 9, 2025 • technewsworld.com

The genomics industry, which provides reports about disease risk, ancestry, and drug reactions based on one’s DNA, came under fire last week as a Congressional Committee held hearings and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released an unscientific “study” of the sector. According to undercover discussions with genomics firms, the GAO reports that “fictitious consumers received…

A View of Microsoft: Improved, but …

Eylül 9, 2025 • technewsworld.com

Last week, Microsoft held its Financial Analyst Meeting (FAM). Companies hold these to showcase their offerings and initiatives to the analysts that take positions on the firm, and given how regularly Apple and Google have appeared to be kicking Microsoft around lately, it is well past time Microsoft got up and told its own story.…

Last week, there was uproar about a rumored secret negotiation between Google and Verizon that, if successful, would result in Google customers getting better bandwidth.

Earlier this month, Intel entered a settlement with the United States Federal Trade Commission to resolve charges that the company unfairly used its market clout to hurt competitors. You could sum up the agreement by saying Intel agreed not to use its weight to squash the competition. The chip giant has a long history of…

Hurd Follows Fiorina and Learns Karma Is a Bitch

Eylül 9, 2025 • technewsworld.com

I spent last week on Mark Hurd’s firing, er involuntary resignation, and watched the backstory develop, and it isn’t pretty. Hurd was likely the third-hardest guy to fire in Silicon Valley behind Steve Jobs and Larry Ellison — and yet, at least initially, he seemed to be fired as a result of a false accusation…

Social Engineering: Why Employees Are Your Security

Imagine this situation: A coworker calls you in a panic. He’s facing a fast-approaching deadline, and you are the only person who can help him succeed in getting some critical task done. This hypothetical coworker explains to you what he’s working on and how it’s critical to the success of the organization in some way;…

The Problem at HP: The Glass Ceiling Was Never Broken

Eylül 9, 2025 • technewsworld.com

I just finished both reading The Big Lie, a fabulous book if you are into board room dynamics and disasters, and doing massive coverage on the HP Mark Hurd scandal. It is, however, a little unnerving to see some of the most powerful people in the world behave worse than six-year-olds. My own management training…

Life in Technology’s Invisible Panopticon

Eylül 9, 2025 • technewsworld.com

Technology is a wonderful thing. It has given us many good things, including the pacemaker, the radio, TV, prosthetic limbs and eyes that help the lame and the blind, instant communications by way of the Internet and mobile phones. Proponents of technology point to all this as evidence that technology gives us freedom. But technology…
