Google US antitrust trials: A timelineThe biggest antitrust trial of the century, which targeted Google's search business, ended with a decision against the company. The second trial against the tech giant, focusing on advertising, is now under way. Here's an updated rundown of major milestones.
The move, part of a larger tech agenda, means advanced degree grads would have an immigration path As president, Hillary Clinton would support the automatic granting of green cards, or permanent residency, to foreign students who earn advanced STEM degrees in the U.S. Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, said she wants the U.S. to “staple” green cards to the diplomas of non-ci
Microsoft buried a Get Windows 10 ad generator inside this month's Internet Explorer security patch for Windows 7 and 8.1 If Microsoft’s documentation is correct, installing Patch Tuesday’s KB 3139929 security update for Internet Explorer also installs a new Windows 10 ad-generating routine called KB 3146449. Many people — present company included — feel that putting an ad generator inside a secur
Lenovo collects usage data on ThinkPad, ThinkCentre and ThinkStation PCs Lenovo seems to be testing the boundaries of trust. First came the where they were found to be pre-loading ad software that was so poorly implemented that it left victims/customers vulnerable to serious security flaws. Then, Lenovo software was discovered on a fresh install of the retail edition of Windows. Lenovo had been mo
An easy-to-use guide to dozens of useful ggplot2 R data visualization commands in a handy, searchable table. There’s a reason ggplot2 is one of the most popular add-on packages for R: It’s a powerful, flexible and well-thought-out platform to create data visualizations you can customize to your heart’s content. But it also can be a bit overwhelming. While I find the logic of plot layers to be intu
The table below shows my favorite go-to R packages for data import, wrangling, visualization and analysis — plus a few miscellaneous tasks tossed in. The package names in the table are clickable if you want more information. To find out more about a package once you’ve installed it, type help(package = "packagename") in your R console (of course substituting the actual package name ). My favorite
On the surface, a merger between Tesla Motors and SolarCity looks like a winner: They have a similar customer base, use each other’s manufacturing facilities and technologies — and of course, there’s the family ties. Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk is also the co-founder and chairman of SolarCity, which is run by fellow co-founder and CEO Lyndon Rive and his brother, CTO Peter Rive — both of them
A new project aims to build drones intelligent enough to fly through indoor labyrinths and scout for danger, all without remote control. The U.S. military is looking for a scout that is as quick, maneuverable and smart as a hawk zipping through thick woods to find prey, but looks instead for enemy troops or threats to U.S. ground troops. The scout has to be a drone, though. Birds won’t do. Neither
Hey Gen. Z, you’re looking for tech jobs in all the wrong places
In 1993, President Bill Clinton was in the first year of his presidency, Windows NT 3.1 and Jurassic Park were both released, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was signed, and Phil Hogan, an IT application architect, booted up a brand-new Stratus Technologies fault tolerant server. A lot has changed in 24 years, but one thing hasn’t: The Stratus server is still in operation and Hogan
Attackers injected malicious JavaScript code into the site, redirecting some visitors' browsers to Flash exploits Visitors to the official website for the PHP programming language over the past couple of days might have had their computers infected with malware. Hackers managed to inject malicious JavaScript code into a file on the php.net site called userprefs.js. The code made requests to a
Just because Microsoft doesn’t plan on giving Windows XP patches to the public after April 8, 2014, doesn’t mean it’s going to stop making those patches. In fact, Microsoft will be creating security updates for Windows XP for months — years, even — after it halts their delivery to the general public. Those patches will come from a program called “Custom Support,” an after-retirement contract desig
R is hot. Whether measured by more than 10,000 add-on packages, the 95,000+ members of LinkedIn’s R group or the more than 400 R Meetup groups currently in existence, there can be little doubt that interest in the R statistics language, especially for data analysis, is soaring. Why R? It’s free, open source, powerful and highly extensible. “You have a lot of prepackaged stuff that’s already avail
But will the federal budget, due out soon, live up to expectations set in State of the Union? WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech was so technology-focused that it buoyed expectations that U.S. investment in IT, particularly supercomputing, will survive his plan to freeze domestic spending for five years. In his speech Tuesday, Obama made it clear that the government’s
Microsoft's failure to gain traction in tablets and smartphones hurts IE, but Google's No. 2 spot in mobile boosts its browser share The trend toward browsing from phones and tablets has helped some browser makers, dramatically in one case, but hurt others in the battle for usage share, data from a metrics firm showed. According to Net Applications, 12% of all browser use last month originated on
In the early 1980s, I was told that COBOL was going away and that I should quickly move toward other programming languages. Well, thirty years later, COBOL is alive and well and living in large companies everywhere. Yes, most of the smaller COBOL programs written in the 1970s, 1980s, and even 1990s have been replaced with newer systems and newer technologies. However, the big mission critical syst
IPv6, the next version of the Internet Protocol, could make life easier and battery life longer for electronics-addicted consumers. Much of the push for IPv6 has been focused on the requirements of enterprises and the challenges they face in making the transition from the current protocol, IPv4. If device makers and service providers do their jobs right, consumers won’t even know it when they star
Mike LeBeau, founder and product lead for Meta’s Horizon Workrooms, makes the case for VR as the future of team meetings — but admits the user experience is currently lacking. Often associated with gaming, virtual reality may one day have a place in the office too, providing a more immersive experience and greater sense of presence than is possible with a video call. That’s the idea behind Meta’s
Despite a plan to cut thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in annual spending, Intel remains vulnerable to declines in PC sales, say analysts. “A penny saved is a penny earned” seems to be the new motto for Intel—struggling to grow its revenue due to overdependence on PC sales—and is instead looking at an annual spending cut of up to $10 billion a year by 2025. Intel reported a 20% decline in
It might have ended very differently for BeOS. At one point, it looked like BeOS, developed by Be Inc, might become the operating system for Apple hardware. Instead, Apple ended up tapping NeXT and used its OpenStep as the basis for Mac OS X (in the process bringing Steve Jobs back into the fold). BeOS debuted in October 1995, running on the PowerPC architecture that was at the time the basis for
A little birdy told me that a new app called Chirp could revolutionize how we all communicate It’s not often that a jaded veteran like me falls in love with an app. But it happened this week with a new app called Chirp. It’s based on one of those rare technologies like HTTP or XML that at first seems trifling, but ends up changing everything. To oversimplify, Chirp uses sound to transmit words, pi

The billionaire investor wants Yahoo to sell to Microsoft for $34 per share Billionaire investor Carl Icahn fired off a second open letter to Yahoo Inc. today, saying the company should offer to sell to Microsoft Corp. for $34.375 a share. Icahn said if he succeeds in his proxy battle to remove the Internet company’s current board of directors, he will cut off talks with Microsoft about alternativ

Got data? These useful tools can turn it into informative, engaging graphics. You may not think you’ve got much in common with an investigative journalist or an academic medical researcher. But if you’re trying to extract useful information from an ever-increasing inflow of data, you’ll likely find visualization useful — whether it’s to show patterns or trends with graphics instead of mountains of
How to find your way around Microsoft's new OS and make the most of its features Ready or not, Windows 8 is here. One of the most controversial versions of the operating system ever released, its main interface feels designed more for touch-screen tablets than traditional computers. What’s more, the Desktop has been hidden away and weakened with the removal of the Start button. But I’m not here to
I spoke with Previn to discuss IBM’s adoption of Apple’s platforms, and to get some insight into how to run a successful choice program. IBM CIO Fletcher Previn appeared at the Jamf Nation User Conference to announce that the Mac@IBM enrolment solution will be released to the open source community. I spoke with Previn to discuss IBM’s adoption of Apple’s platforms, and to get some insight into how
New secure boot process leaves unsigned Linux out in the cold After years of trying to cut off Linux growth as a desktop platform on x86 and x64 PCs, Microsoft may have actually figured out a way to stop Linux deployments on client PCs dead in their tracks. At the very least, Linux deployment will be hindered on any Windows 8-certified machines to come, as new requirements for the Windows 8 logo c
