If I learned one thing from IPv6 Day, the effort by the Internet Engineering Task Force to really test the IPv6 infrastructure of the Internet, it was that the enterprise is in for some tough sledding. In short, the ability of critical infrastructure components to support IPv6 is lacking. In fact, it’s not just lacking, […]

Just when you think you’ve seen the heights of career-ending stupidity in Washington, you’re reminded that stupidity has no upper limit. With that in mind, I submit as evidence the continuing tragicomedy of U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., who finally confessed to this town’s worst kept secret. He did indeed send lewd photos of himself […]

The hackers that launched attacks against Google’s Gmail system, Lockheed Martin, L3 and Northrup Grumman may have been based at a vocational school run by the People’s Liberation Army in Jinan, China, investigators say.The investigators from Google have passed their evidence along to the FBI, which is performing a follow-up investigation. Jinan is also the […]

The recent cyber-attacks on defense contractor Lockheed Martin, which the company disclosed at the end of May, appear to mark an escalation of a “cyber-cold war” that few realize has been going on for some time. Recent sophisticated cyber-attacks have focused on some the most sensitive defense contractors in the U.S. But there is a […]

AT&T’s claims that it needs additional spectrum to deploy its planned 4G network simply don’t reflect reality, according to sources close to Sprint who declined to be identified because they were not authorized to speak to the media. This assertion came as Sprint filed with the Federal Communications Commission on May 31 its official objections […]

The Federal Communications Commission has asked AT&T for evidence to back up its claims that it doesn’t have enough spectrum to provide future service as it claimed in its request to transfer T-Mobile’s licenses to itself. The FCC also directed that AT&T back up its claims that no jobs would be lost by providing information […]

The announcement by AT&T that it would be launchingLong-Term Evolution phones in five markets by sometime this summer is an indicator of the current trend toward LTE generally throughout the United States. While the carriers implementing LTE are calling it 4G technology, it’s more of a pre-4G implementation. To be true 4G, these networks would […]

There’s no question that Apple’s iPhone has a large and devoted following. Some have said their devotion rises to thelevel of religious fervor. But the fact is that Apple and the iPhone need more than just a religious following. Apple needs a phone that makes sense to its users if it’s going to stem the […]

An informal study by the BBC appears to reveal that Apple customers react to the brand with religious fervor. To do this the Beeb got a team of neuroscientists to perform an MRI on the brain of an admitted Apple fanatic-Alex Brooks, editor of World of Apple – and showed him images of Apple products. […]

A new war of words has erupted as part of the fallout of the May 11 Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on the proposed merger of AT&T and T-Mobile. In that hearing, Sprint CEO Dan Hesse brought up the fact that Sprint, which is not a major wireline carrier, unlike AT&T and Verizon, is forced to […]

I played hooky from work for a little while this morning. I turned on Today on NBC to watch the incredible glory of a Shuttle launch. While I was at it, I brought up Twitter on my BlackBerry so I could read Rob Pegoraro’s live Tweets of the event. Rob was only about three miles […]

There’s no question that Google thought its Chromebook would be thedarling of the enterprise. That just shows how little the designers of the device know about how enterprise IT works in the real world. It may be a nice play for consumers, assuming you can pry them away from their iPads and Andoid tablets, but […]
