Whether or not you support hacktivisim or believe Anonymous was in the right, one of the most worrying aspects to come out of the Snowden-leaked presentation is that if a non-government person were to have carried out such cyber attacks, then they could face jail time under the flawed Computer Fraud... Read More Review: Amazing Lenovo Miix 2 tablet is hobbled by Windows 8 I love my Nexus 7. That little Android tablet has been my constant companion for quite some time. The 7-inch form factor is just right for a pocket-able machine to take with me anywhere I go. But when I saw the new 8-inch, Atom-powered tablets from the likes of Dell, Lenovo and Toshiba... I'll admit, I was a bit envious. The 7-inch screen of the Nexus 7 is great, but I could use just a little more.... Read More Why the NFL is turning to Wi-Fi analytics This has been quite the past half a year for the once-beleaguered Extreme Networks. Given all the change in the industry and all the media focus on network startups and SDNs, Extreme Networks had almost become the forgotten-about network vendor.

No doubt a few calls to campus police have been made by now. Read More Top 5 ways that IT wastes money The role of the CIO has changed more in the past five years than any other position in the business world. Success for the CIO used to be based on bits and bytes, and is now measured by business metrics. Today's CIO needs to think of IT more strategically and focus on projects that lower cost, improve productivity, or both, ideally. However, many IT projects seem to be a waste of time and money.... Read More BoxTone's Mobility TCO Tool – Food for Thought It's a question we've been debating for years: just exactly what does mobility cost? While I've often boiled this argument down to one of cash flow (can the required dollars be found?) and productivity (the real ROI), absolute cost is always a point of concern, especially for financial types, but also for anyone with budgetary constraints to satisfy - so I guess that's every IT manager everywhere,...
