Some of Apple’s top executives, including Steve Jobs, have once again been accused of bad faith in backdating company shares. Simultaneously, Mac web share is nearing eight percent in one report, K-12 educational material has reached iTunes U, and Microsoft has shipped the second edition of Remote Desktop Connection for Mac.

Theres one thing about Facebook that most people still seem to have wrong: that its a walled garden. Quite the contrary, the Platform allows for full data portability and has since its inception. It actually isnt a walled garden at all. The problem is that this knowledge is buried deep within the FB documentation, a place few developers have wan

Basically, get creative. Its almost silly how many cool things can be done here. Is there any way to leverage group, page, or event data? Check this out: http://bigsight.org/city/nashville_tn/events. This is a display of the events that I…

The US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has ruled against a high school student who used some interesting language to describe her school officials on her personal blog, saying that the school did not violate her First Amendment rights by punishing her for calling school officials “douchebags.”

It all started with a dispute over a battle of the bands event last year. The student council, of which Avery was the secretary, had gotten into a disagreement with school officials over an already-twice-rescheduled battle of the bands….

Looks like Jeff Bonwick ( CTO of storage, and the guy responsible for ZFS ) had a meeting with Linux benevolent dictator Linus Torvalds. Could this mean ZFS for Linux?

Second allowing the Linux community to use ZFS will broaden the usage of ZFS meaning that more people will have their eyes on the code and hopefully contribute back. Keep in mind that this has already happened with other OS's such as FreeBSD…

A Catholic school dean is the latest victim of some pranksters who created a fake Facebook profile and sent out inappropriate messages. He and the archdiocese don’t know who’s behind it, though, and have filed suit against Facebook in hopes of finding out.

If you're getting a feeling of déjà vu reading this story, it's probably because the case is reminiscent of numerous fake principal/teacher profiles created on social networking sites like MySpace using…

You turn to sex. Here are seven reasons why your tech company should send you to sex conferences like Sex 2.0, Arse Elektronica and Sex in Video Games rather than to mainstream events like this week’s Web 2.0 Expo.

Granted, this reason isn't likely to go over well if you include it on the list of why your boss should approve your trip to a sex expo. While people who go to sex conferences can't be written off as a bunch of perverts who invent…

Technology, demographic shifts, new legislation, and consumer preference changes have effectively eliminated many jobs. However, there's an upside to obsolescence: the creation of jobs that, until recently, no one had ever heard of.

They're not marketers with colds. Remember when, in the months before The Blair Witch Project opened in theaters, the Sci-Fi Channel documentary and accompanying Web site garnered a Witch cult following? This hype, a spectacular viral…

Ever wondered what Mac Dock and Expos look like with 150 apps running? Well, wonder no more, friend. Wonder no more. Rest assured, however, everything gets ludicrously tiny. Now, we’re not too sure who’d be using 150 apps simultaneously, except for maybe that dude at the end of The Matrix who manages to confuse the crap out of everyone.

Students at the University of Maine School of Law’s Cumberland Legal Aid Clinic are continuing their fight against the RIAA’s legal tactics. A motion filed earlier this week on behalf of two “John Doe” University of Maine students sued by the RIAA seeks to bar the RIAA from bringing any such lawsuits in the future.

The fact that the tactics being criticized by the law students (and the judge) are routine for the RIAA is unquestioned. Indeed, the RIAA's 25,000+ lawsuits would be nigh impossible without Doe lawsuits. But such lawsuits are…

In a letter to Congressional leaders, the MPAA continues to push for special copyright provisions in a new bill reauthorizing the federal student aid program for college students. Filtering, it seems, can save big money on bandwidth, but colleges remain unimpressed.

The MPAA shot back this week with a letter of its own. The Chronicle of Higher Education's Wired Campus blog obtained a copy of the letter, which says in part, "One filtering product is now deployed at approximately 70 colleges…

Master rapper Ice Cube rocks a Sidekick, live streams his shows, makes music in Pro Tools, and just launched an Internet TV project.

And then Pro Tools came out. Pro Tools which basically takes tape out of the equation. You download all your music to a hard drive and then cut it up from there and then spit it out which took us from the tape generation when we were sitting…

This week the Elonex One, a Linux-based laptop costing less than 100, was launched at the Education Show in Birmingham causing much excitement amongst the visitors and a very serious discussion about how best to support this new breed of Linux laptops in schools. read more @ siriusit

The rewards for change are very substantial. Schools would reduce their costs by 4/5ths producing not only an enormous saving to the taxpayer but making it possible to adapt to new developments in ICT and focus more resources on teaching. New…
