Sir Colbert... Rise!

Colbert Interviews Paul McCartney

Epic isn't even describing this.

Race to Witch Mountain

I was discussing this movie with friends and family a month or so ago. But the more I look into it the more I enjoy it. Scrap that. I LOVE it!

Michael Dell should shut his mouth

Michael Dell is such a cowboy. He even surpasses me. He should have learn his lesson by now. But boy oh boy, ain't he a slow learner!

Michael Dell to Vladimir Putin:

Russia has technical and scientific prowess but how can we help you to expand IT in Russia?

Vladimir Putin to Michael Dell:

We don't need help. We are not invalids. We don't have limited mental capacity. Russian scientists were rightly respected not for their hardware, but for their software. Any old fool can build a PC outfit.

AT&T loves iPhone at last

For much of last year, AT&T (T) Mobility’s websites seemed to be promoting every cell phone in their arsenal except for the iPhone — as if the company wasn’t sure the revenue coming in from iPhone users was worth the steep bounty it was paying Apple (AAPL) for each sale.

No more.

Today when you visit its website, a promo for the iPhone 3G (”Now Available Online!”) is often the first thing that pops up — and based on the fourth quarter results the company released Wednesday, you can see why...

...Q4 revenues were up 2.4% (to $31.1 billion) in a tough economic climate thanks to results in the wireless division that CEO Randall Stephenson attributed largely to the iPhone.

This clearly showcases how stupid some people are. AT&T could not figure how much of a God-send iPhone was until now?

Mother Russia will switch to Linux?

Hell yes!

A free online alternative to the Windows operating system is set to be introduced in schools in three Russian regions by 2009. If the pilot project proves successful, all schools across the country will make the switch a year later.

Now, if only our greek government would have the BALLS to do such a thing, it would be AWESOME! Yeah, right. Perhaps in the next 20 years or so... Whatever. Greek open source computing is an oxymoron.

100 Hottest women of 2009

Our goal with making this list was to avoid the cliche as much as possible, while still picking out the hottest women in the world. While you’ll still see lots of familiar names (that’s inevitable with a list this size) you’ll also hopefully find a few dozen women you’ve never heard of who might become favorites. Onto the list, enjoy!

See and enjoy.

Cut Jobs some slack

The SEC, and the press, is acting like this is Watergate, Cramer said during Monday’s Mad Money. Who knew what and when? Maybe Jobs should be given the benefit of the doubt here. Rather than assume there was a conspiracy to conceal his condition, why not believe he merely got sicker over time? What if the shock of Jobs’ situation took a while for him to digest? What if he was looking for a second opinion? Don’t these possibilities seem more likely? And even if there were a conspiracy to hide Jobs’ health concerns, aren’t there more important things for the SEC to worry about given the current state of Wall Street?

Mac pirate buffoons take care

You are making us look damn stupid by now with your Apple's iWork '09 and Adobe's CS4 pirating.

I bet that most of you came from the Windows world, eh?

Mystery virus hits 15 million PCs

More than 3,000 British organisations - including hospitals, the Ministry of Defence, councils, and what are described as "well-known firms" - have been hit. They and the hundreds of thousands of other victim organisations in countries such as the US, Russia, China and India are now bracing themselves for the virus to be triggered and do whatever malicious work it has been designed to do.

Paul Thurrott the Windows Guru

There is a lot to like about Windows 7 for the consumer. For the enterprise, not so much. While Microsoft has added some fancy new features aimed at the enterprise (see box, below) it seems to have treated the enterprise's needs as an afterthought, contends Windows guru Paul Thurrott in an interview with Microsoft Subnet. Thurrott is editor of the SuperSite for Windows website and author of Windows Vista Secrets SP1 edition. Considering that the bulk of Microsoft's customers are businesses, its neglect here could be described as not smart.

Don't get him wrong, there are cool, eye-popping features in Windows 7 for the enterprise –- unfortunately some are randomly tied to Windows Server 2008 R2 -– which is also in beta. If you want to yank out the VPN and let Windows handle a secure connection to the server (a new feature called DirectAccess), you can. But only if all of your clients and servers are using the latest operating systems from Microsoft. That's a shame in this economy when expensive, large-scale upgrades of the entire operating system infrastructure are not going to fly. (To be fair, enterprises that have opted for Microsoft's Software Assurance deal should be covered for the license fees of an upgrade from WS2008 to R2, but that won't cover the cost of man hours).
