“We need to make sure we own everything forever.”

I understand that Facebook lawyer Chris Kelly appeared on television Sunday morning to reassure all 175 million of his parishioners that Facebook doesn’t own their intimate details [...]

But at the risk of gushing, I’m back to report that the Tesla Roadster is a pure adrenaline thrill.

Tell you the truth, if I were personally shelling out $109,000 for one of these babies, I might be pickier about leg room or noise levels or any of the other myriad questions that go [...]

So when sassy airline Virgin America offered CNET the chance to test its new Gogo in-flight Wi-Fi service, I jumped at the chance. And yes, I’m writing this 25,000 feet or so (we’re still climbing) above the Northern California coast. We’re cruising on an hour-long demonstration flight out of the San Francisco International Airport. Check [...]

Anyone who at least played an NES back in [...]

Making videos more searchable is good for users, but the real business benefit to this technology is advertising; it allows marketing programs to be attached to particular points in a video, possibly automatically.

The player’s secret power is that it also indexes YouTube videos, giving a publisher who embeds YouTube content more functionality than YouTube [...]

But, over the last two years or so (seemingly ever since Sun changed it’s stock ticker to JAVA), the language has become boring and moribund. Not that programming languages are such a thrill ride, but Java had a level of panache well beyond the norm.

A few months back I questioned “What if Sun fails with open source” I never would have expected to see Sun fail with Java.

Sun has effectively lost the battle for the cloud to v

New York newspaper Newsday plans to begin charging online readers for access to its content, rejecting a trend toward free online newspaper content.

Rutledge did not elaborate on the company’s online subscription plans, but Newsday publisher Timothy Knight hinted that the move could be used in a bundling arrangement to cross-promote content on the newspaper site and in Cablevision’s television programming.

“We are in the process of transforming Newsday’s Web site into
