Virtual Meeting Success: Disaster Preparedness for Teleconference Nightmares — “At first people thought it was static. But, they soon realized that one of the participants was snoring. And everyone heard it! The snoozing participant had forgotten to turn on his mute button. There was nothing to do but ride it out. Sound familiar? Well, I would have thought it couldn’t get worse.

Solving IT energy conservation issues requires holistic approach to management and planning, say HP - (USA)
Read complete transcript of the discussion. Find it on iTunes/iPod. Learn more. Sponsor: Hewlett-Packard. The critical and global problem of energy management for IT operations and data centers has emerged as both a cost and capacity issue. The goal is to find innovative means to conserve electricity use so that existing data centers don’t need to be expanded or replaced — at huge cost. In order to promote a needed close matching of tight energy supply with the lowest IT energy demand possibl

Intel's Earnings: Good or Bad? - (USA)
For decades when you purchased a new Microsoft product you knew it would take more disk space, memory and processor speed than most competitive products on the market. As an ex-MIS Director I can tell you firsthand how new Windows upgrades meant new machines were mandatory. Vista is no exception... You just can't seem to have a fast enough machine for this OS as even with a state of the art chip, gobs of memory and the fastest graphics coprocessor you can get, you will see hourglass icons on a

How to stay safe online - (USA)
A couple of days ago I had the privilege of speaking to a group of writing students about the joys of blogging. Whilst many of them had never previously come across the concept of blogging and were intrigued by it, it didn’t take long for the question of online safety to come up. I must confess I was initially somewhat taken aback by their concerns, as I personally don’t worry much about getting virused, hacked, or falling victim to an online scam. But as I pondered the question I realised tha

Windows Seven Key Leaked - (USA)
I am not too sure if the above heading is one that can turn heads. Reason? Microsoft has been compromised many times than anyone cares to care or count. Should I add that Windows is all the most vulnerable OS? Well as I said news that Microsoft has been compromised is nothing new. Rather it’s the way Microsoft responded to the security breach that surprised many. Instead of just issuing a statement that the Windows 7 masterkey has been stolen and please help us find the culprits, went on to make

A Marketable Computer Science Degree May Mean Specializing - (USA)
Computer Science degrees are offered at hundreds, if not thousands of colleges across the country for a good reason; the demand for computer experts has never been higher. In fact, the need for computer scientists will continue to rise through at least 2015 according to the United State Department of Labor’s 2006 report on career growth. What many people don’t realize is that part of the hiring increase of the future in the computer sciences area includes a trend toward more specialization. A

Global Warming and Skepticism - (USA)
Image via Wikipedia Never Let the Facts Encumber I do remember in the 1970’s that the news and the magazines were warning that pollution in the form of aerosols could lead to global cooling, and this was atop a two decade cooling trend. We covered it in a Weekly Reader story when I was in 4th grade. For most of the decade our focus on environmental and climate data, at least in the public eye was the threat of a global winter caused by pollution. The threat was even more focused because

New Web Filtering Policy for NYC DOE Employees - (USA)
The New York City Department of Education has a new web filtering policy for employees. It will expand the use of its web filtering software, currently covering instructional computers, to cover all DOE computers, including those located in school administrative offices and in all central sites.

Some Thoughts on Complexity - (USA)
The scientific method was, and remains, one of the great triumphs of human intellect. It has allowed us to understand the workings of our world to a level of detail that is remarkable, even as the fruits of the scientific method are taken for granted by most people. At the same time, fewer and fewer people understand even the rudiments of the scientific method. Those who have only the most minimal understanding of science, how scientific data is evaluated, and how scientific facts are arrive

Doesn’t this Building Come with Magic Wiring? - (USA)
One of my fellow MIS gurus takes care of a number of external units. One particular den of intellect just moved from one building to another. They called my coworker, asking him to come out and and check the new place out. He said no problem, he’d check his schedule. They got a bit nervous, hoping he’d come out right now because the ‘phone guy’ was there. The Phone Guy was a bit flummoxed, as there was no wiring anywhere in the building. These folks moved an entire office without inquirin

Narrow vs broad: blogging and the FTC - (USA)
Sunday’s Virginian Pilot brought two opposing views on the FTC’s proposed regulation of blogs, which I mentioned briefly in this post. The views were provided by J.R. Hoeft of Bearing Drift and yours truly. Hoeft posted his (unedited) op-ed on his blog last week , while mine (as printed in the paper) is below the fold. Reading the two of them side by side today, I was struck by the narrow view of Hoeft, who seemed to limit his remarks to political blogs, who, from my reading of the FTC g

The intervention – Webfuse design 1996-1999 - (USA)
The previous couple of posts ( one and two ) described the context in which the Webfuse e-learning system was designed. This focused primarily on the context at CQU up to 1996 or so. These posts form the definition of the problem which Webfuse was meant to address. This post begins a description of the intervention undertaken to address this problem. i.e. the early design of Webfuse. This post introduces the Intervention section, explains why it was decided to build another system and then o

Fox News Blunders on Cash for Clunkers Privacy - (USA)
FOX News has created a controversy for the Cash for Clunkers program. Their news report that is getting some buzz is mis-guided and in fact, Fox News has created a large media blunder. The commentators in the video start on track but quickly go off base when they make consumers think that their privacy and personal home computer files are going to be the property of the US government if they go to the www.cars.gov website. The commentator advises consumers: “do not do this at home” wh

Becoming Evil - (USA)
You really cannot tell the difference between good and evil without experiencing them yourself, either firsthand or by observing others. Heaven has no contrast without hell. If you want to become evil, for a week you can try doing evil things and see how people respond differently to you. Do your new actions resonate more soundly with your personal identity? Are you attracting more material wealth? Do you feel more wealthy spiritually? Do you have better mental clarity? Do you sleep better at

University mobile phone research - (USA)
Second of four parts: Part 1 (teaching mobile phones), Part 3 (sensor research), Part 4 (Georgia Tech). I was extremely lucky to spend the last two weeks of October (after classes were over) visiting some of the top U.S. research universities to hear about how they do research and teaching using mobile phones. It is a real eye-opener to see what’s going on in universities. Once upon a time, mobile phones made phone calls, but now researchers are treating them as mass-produced mobile computers

China Declares Internet Addiction, Imprisons Addicts - (USA)
The Chinese government, in something right of George Orwell’s 1984 has declared that “Internet addiction” is indeed a disorder (despite there being no agreement amongst researchers what constitutes the disorder). Why was that important? Why, so they can legitimately “treat” the disorder. Government officials declared Internet addiction to affect anyone who spends six hours or more per day online (which would cover a huge swatch of the U.S. population at present, especially for those people who
