Featured Articles » Facebook Rumored to be Integrated in Next Version of iOS All kinds of rumors have been hitting the Internet regarding the release of Apple's iPad 3, up to and including the release of two different iPads this year. Now, Apple seems to be considering the idea of putting other social networks into iOS 5 besides Twitter. » CES Could Have Been Called the 'Cloud Electronics Show' Cloud computing, which used to be found far and few between, seems to be literally everywhere, and that was most evident at the recent Consumer Electronics Show (a.k.a. Cloud Electronics Show) in Las Vegas last week. » FCC Wants To Keep Authority over Spectrum Auctions Despite Concerns from AT&T, Verizon The Federal Communications Commission doesn't want to lose its authority to give out spectrum for broadcast television - in an effort some say is an attack on Verizon and AT&T. » IBM Connections Looking to Make the Enterprise More Social IBM on Monday teased the upcoming beta version of its IBM Connections software, an enterprise-focused social networking platform loaded with more sophisticated analytics, real-time data monitoring and a host of new collaboration add-ons. The goal of IBM Connections isn't to deliver Facebook to the corporate world, but rather to bring all business-critical applications and data under one roof and provide outlets for real-time collaboration. » Twitter Abstains from SOPA/PIPA Blackout In case you haven't heard, several websites will be going down as an act of protest against the Stop Online Piracy Act and Protect IP Act on Jan. 18, for a 24-hour period. A sigh of relief has spread through the Internet, however, as Twitter, a major microblogging social network, announced that it will not go "black" on Wednesday as part of a protest against SOPA and PIPA, two pieces of legislation which might hinder innovation and small startups on the Internet as a price to "protecting" US citizens against piracy. » Falling PC Sales Cut Microsoft's Profit Margin With the rise of tablets, the sales of desktop and notebook PCs have been declining. And software giant Microsoft Corp. is obviously feeling the heat of falling sales. As the company tackles slow PC sales, which is impacting the Windows business, it is also struggling to make a dent into the faster-growing mobile phone and tablets market. » Lenovo and IdeaPad Yoga Break Windows 8 Out at CES Lenovo, a company few had even heard of a few years ago, broke out at CES. They made it in as Best of Show Finalist; Best of CES best Ultrabook and Desktop; Popular Science best of CES; Popular Mechanics Editor's Choice; LAPTOP best of CES; LAPTOP reader's Choice; Tom's Guide Best of CES; Videomaker Best Computer; GottaBeMobile Best of show, Notebooks.com Best of CES; Stuff Hot Stuff Award; Last Gadget Standing Finalist; ComputerActive Best of CES; and got two CES Innovation Wards for design and engineering. Most of these awards were for one product that appears to have hit a chord, the IdeaPad Yoga. » Bill Gates as Historic Figure and Real-life Action Hero Was this a mere coincidence, or just well-timed? That is an interesting question. On January 12th, CNBC ran (what it labeled as a "premiere" showing) of the 2008 documentary, "Bill Gates: How a Geek Changed the World." OK, so it is a bit dated, missing out on how Microsoft is now losing the browser wars and missed the whole SEARCH thing, for instance.
