After a struggle, Cablevision recently got legal clearance for its "TiVo in the clouds" -- a virtual DVR system that sits on its back-end servers, not your cable box. So when's it coming out? "Early next year," Cablevision COO Tom Rutledge said this week at Merrill Lynch's fall media conference. "We have advised all the copyright holders that we are going to do it. We'll be doing a real consumer trial in the relatively near ...

tap tap tap exists in somewhat of a virtual state… we have no central office and everyone involved is in a different part of the world. So how do we work efficiently on our projects? Many things like coding and marketing can be done in a vacuum. The person responsible for his or her task can simply work on it and report back to the team when appropriate.

It's not quite browse-and-play -- every site requires a specific plug-in -- but Hulu, College Humor, YouTube, ABC News, and Vimeo are already working, and there are more on the way. That's pretty tempting for ...

Presence and availability information has been one of the key enabling technologies for web workers, providing signaling mechanisms for indicating the ability and willingness of users to communicate, whether by instant message, VoIP call, caller ID or even an email auto-responder. Together presence and status indicators weaved through our various communication channels make teleworking and telecommuting less painless and provide useful ’social signaling’ that would ordinarily take place in office environments. It’s arguable that time ...
