If you prefer the DIY approach, here are three ways to keep your system up to date without Windows helping out.1. Windiz Updates provides an experience that's as similar to the original as its name. The twist is that this service won't work in Internet Explorer - you'll need Firefox and the Windiz addon. It doesn't collect ...

Most software project managers have very little power in an organization. They are on the hook for delivery, but have very little control over the actual resources required to get the job done. Project managers have to broker agreements, hold people accountable, and get people to do things that they are not otherwise incented to do. Fixed Constraints and Up Front Design Requirements documents are created early, and often with little input from the delivery ...

Theora is based on the proprietary VP3 codec developed by On2 Technologies, but is licensed under a BSD-style license.

Two years after being acquired by Google, YouTube still hasn't figured out how to monetize the site. "We believe the best products are coming out this year. And they're new products. They're not announced. They're not just putting in-line ads in the things that people are trying. But we have a number — and, of course, Google is an innovative place," said Eric Schmidt in August.One of the new products replicates Google's search ads and ...

Here is the stark reality of online video: nobody is making much money and the enthusiastic projections for online video advertising going from $500 million in 2008 to more than $5 billion in five years will undoubtedly be pared back in the coming weeks as analysts revisit their numbers. (Those numbers are from August—eMarketer). The writing is already on the wall. YouTube is resorting to selling off video search results to the sexiest bidder and ...

Yes technically the web is devaluing the value of video, but the web has done that to just about every industry and there is no point in fighting it since you will only lose. The web also provides almost infinite possibilities as to the number of business models that can emerge on this new platform, so all these media big wigs just need to start thinking younger than their ages.

The Moshi IVR clock is one of those rare, heartwarming products that serves two marginalized demographics: the blind and the chronically rude. For blind folks the benefit is obvious, as all of the clock's major functions are controlled with simple verbal commands. This includes alarm deactivation, but not necessarily how you'd expect. "Gggugugughghghhhhh" or "SHUT UP" won't do the trick — you've got to greet Moshi to initiate voice commands, then politely ask it— uhh, ...
