August 14, 2013 at 1:14 am Is it already mid-August, and are we really up to the eighth Patch Tuesday of 2013? It’s time to start planning Halloween costumes and thinking about holiday shopping. Yikes!
For the August Patch Tuesday, Microsoft has released eight new security bulletins. That’s not a light month by any stretch, but considering there have been many months with nearly double that amount, it’s not too bad. More importantly, only three of them are rated as Critical, and none of them are being actively exploited in the wild. Security experts seem to unanimously agree that the top priorities this month are Internet Explorer (MS13-059) and Microsoft Exchange Server (MS13-061).

August 13, 2013 at 7:31 pm Microsoft got out the axe again, and cut the price of some Surface Pro models by $ 100. While the move may help boost the anemic sales of Microsoft’s tablets, it’s not significant enough to make a real impact—especially for business users.

August 13, 2013 at 7:12 am Flash memory runs the world right now. It’s a $ 60 billion market at the heart of virtually all electronics. Thanks to Crossbar’s resistive RAM technology, though, Flash may soon be a fading memory (pun intended).
Consider how much you and your business depend on flash memory. Smartphones rely on it. Tablets rely on it. So do USB thumb drives. Most ultrabooks use SSD or hybrid drives that combine traditional hard drive technology with flash memory. Without flash memory, your business might come to a grinding halt.

There’s no shortage of noise surrounding big data. Today it seems that every software vendor, consulting firm and thought leader has developed the “right” definition of the term. While I’d argue there is no such definition, I would like to dispel a few of the most commonly held myths about the subject, many of which I explore in Too Big to Ignore: The Business Case for Big Data.

August 12, 2013 at 7:14 am It seems like almost every website you visit has a login of some sort. Managing and remembering them is virtually impossible, so for convenience the major Web browsers offer a feature that saves your passwords. But software developer has discovered that it’s a bad idea to trust this sensitive information to your browser—especially if your business uses Google Chrome.

What do newspaper editors, shopkeepers, commodities traders and railroad engineers have in common? They’re all professions in the news in part because they’re being threatened or otherwise marginalized by digital innovation.
The Washington Post Co. announced on Aug. 5 that it has agreed to sell the iconic newspaper and other old media assets to Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos for $ 250 million. The news followed The New York Times Co.’s sale of the Boston Globe to Boston Red Sox owner John Henry for $ 70 million, just 6% of the $ 1.1 billion it paid for the Globe 20 years ago.
