Microsoft Forced To Back Down Against i4i In Patent Case
Dec 23rd
Kevin Kutz, Director of Public Affairs at Microsoft, said in a statement today that Microsoft will comply with an injunction just upheld against the software behemoth that would have forced Microsoft Word and Microsoft Office off store shelves by January 2010.
“With respect to Microsoft Word 2007 and Microsoft Office 2007, we have been preparing for this possibility since the District Court issued its injunction in August 2009 and have put the wheels in motion to remove this little-used feature from these products. Therefore, we expect to have copies of Microsoft Word 2007 and Office 2007, with this feature removed, available for U.S. sale and distribution by the injunction date. In addition, the beta versions of Microsoft Word 2010 and Microsoft Office 2010, which are available now for downloading, do not contain the technology covered by the injunction.”

The “I Don’t Want To Be A Dick” Syndrome of Information Assurance Management
Sep 12th
Information Assurance remains a growing field of expertise, maturing on an almost daily basis. The industry has exploded over the last 10 years even though the concepts of IA has been around since as early as the 1960’s. Although the industry and its practitioners continue to evolve, those in upper-management have a difficult time fully grasping the core principles. As in many areas of management these days, there are far too many gun-shy managers who are more concerned with appearances and perception than properly mitigating risk to the networks they are charged with protecting.

WolframAlpha – Ambitious, But Not Google
Aug 4th
Back in May 2009, Stephen Wolfram launched an ambitious effort that seemed likely to re-carve the landscape of internet search — www.WolframAlpha.com. Stephen’s project provides precise [and sometimes amusing] answers to what seems to be nearly every category under the scientific sun.
With Statistics, Physics, Geography, Medicine and Nutrition to name just a few, WolframAlpha search is unequivocally a stellar scientific tool. Using it though [for everyday search] is like walking into a physics class to find a recipe on how to make meatballs.
