  • Windows 7 sales deal Linux a winning hand

    Posted Tue, 02/02/2010 - 18:30 by admin

    Thank heavens for Windows 7. If you're Microsoft, at least, you may be doing that.
    While most of Microsoft's businesses were flat to down year over year, Windows 7 generated record profits (and units sold) for the software giant. That's great for Microsoft. It's not so great for anyone else.

    Lucky 7...for Linux?
    On the not-so-fortunate list: the PC makers who actually distribute Windows 7, as The Wall Street Journal reports. Windows 7 helped drive demand for new machines, but not higher prices, leaving Microsoft partners with sagging profits, according to the report.

    Posted Mon, 02/01/2010 - 15:22 by admin

    President Obama has sent Congress a multi-trillion-dollar spending plan seeking to attack double-digit unemployment and boosting this year's federal deficit to a record-breaking $1.56 trillion.

    Obama's new budget blueprint preaches the need to make tough choices to restrain run-away deficits. But it also aims to attack 10 percent joblessness, a priority the administration sees as badly needed to lift the country out of a deep recession that has cost 7.2 million jobs over the past two years.

  • Students failing because of Twitter, texting

    TORONTO - Little or no grammar teaching, cellphone texting, social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, all are being blamed for an increasingly unacceptable number of post-secondary students who can't write properly.

  • In their words: Experts weigh in on Mac vs. PC security

    Posted Mon, 02/01/2010 - 15:04 by admin

    When I am asked the question "Which is more secure, Mac or PC?" I find myself stumbling around for a response because I don't have a clear-cut answer. I use both. And I use antivirus software with both.

    So I decided to conduct an informal survey of a bunch of security experts and see what they had to say in the hopes that people can use the information to help them come to their own conclusions.
