Spending 25 hours in an Apple store counting sales might not be the most accurate means for extrapolating data, but that’s what analysts at Piper Jaffray are using to say they think Apple is going to have its best sales quarter ever for Mac computers. Last quarter, the company sold 2.6 million Macs, its best numbers ever. Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster (who always seems very bullish on Apple) thinks Apple will at least match that ...

By Alan CarubaMy mind keeps circling back to the recent campaign and focusing on two coincidences. I am the last person to subscribe to conspiracies, but it is entirely likely that two events during the campaigns were something less than just coincidence.At a point in the campaign when John McCain looked like he had a decent chance to aggregate enough votes to win, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson held a sudden press briefing in ...

The survey polled around 70 IP network operators across the globe, reporting a continued rise in smaller scale and more sophisticated attacks, including service-level and application targeted attacks, DNS poisoning and route hijacking. Only eight per cent of respondents believed that threats will decrease with improved IPv6 deployment, while 55 per cent thought that the threat landscape would become more risky. Daniel Karrenberg, chief scientist at regional internet registry RIPE NCC, argued that IPv6 is ...

Según el nuevo acuerdo entre Microsoft y Sun Microsystems, los usuarios de Internet Explorer que descarguen la plataforma JAVA de Sun, recibirán la opción de descargar también la barra de herramientas de Microsoft Live. Es el mismo acuerdo que Microsoft cerró con Hewlett-Packard hace unos meses. Y es ese tipo de acuerdo que a nosotros, los usuarios, tanto nos molesta, ya que como nos ha pasado más de una vez, sin querer, vamos a instalar ...

Few topics among economists and business leaders engender the same enthusiasm as productivity. Doing more for less seems the universal balm for individuals, businesses and markets. If we all have growing productivity, well, then everything practically takes care of itself. You’ll find few dissenters. Ask 50 economists, however, how much IT specifically has contributed to productivity surge since the 1970s, and you’ll get 50 different answers. They know IT has been good for work efficiency, ...

Recapitulemos a questão mais polémica em torno dos exames nacionais recentemente realizados: políticos, associações científicas, especialistas, professores, encarregados de educação, e até alunos consideram-nos descaradamente acessíveis. A comunicação social interessou-se pelo assunto e deu-lhe destaque. Num debate ocorrido na RTP.N, registei a posição do Director do Gabinete de Avaliação Educacional: especialistas indicados pela Sociedade Portuguesa de Matemática (S.P.M.) auditaram as provas de matemática antes da sua aplicação, pelo que as actuais críticas dessa Sociedade ao ...
