Schneier: CCTV is useless
Posted on February 26, 2010 | No Comments
Remember that big, 15-member hit squad that assassinated Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Mabhouh? They were on camera for most of the time they were on the job, walking in and out of hotels, getting picked up on cameras at the airport. No one still knows who they are and they couldn't have stopped them. It was dead tape until something happened.

Windows Mobile developers ask Microsoft: Where’s our money, kind sirs?
Posted on January 22, 2010 | No CommentsIt's the case of the missing money. Or, less dumb, it's a case of nobody knowing what's going on. Several Windows Mobile developers have complained loudly that they're owed monies by Microsoft. Microsoft is all, "Don't worry about it, we'll get it sorted out," but then doesn't, in fact, sort it.

Panasonic officially owns Sanyo and boasts the world’s largest plasma panel plant now
Posted on December 22, 2009 | No Comments
Good news for Panasonic in the last 48 hours. The company announced yesterday that it now officially turned Sanyo into a subsidiary after acquiring a 50.27% stake in its smaller rival. The merger was in the making for several months, and Panasonic paid a whopping $4.4 billion to make it happen. So we now have Japan's second largest electronics maker in terms of sales (Hitachi is still the biggest).
And one day later, Tuesday morning Japanese time, Panasonic announced another accomplishment: The company has completed the world's largest plant for plasma panels. It's located in Amagasaki in Southern Japan and is ready to produce the largest PDPs in the industry (Panasonic says panels sized at 330 centimeters by 190 cm can now be mass-produced).

New Japanese cell phone maker NEC-Casio to go America in 2010
Posted on December 21, 2009 | No CommentsAs MobileCrunch reported back in August, three of Japan's eight top cell phone makers, namely NEC, Casio and Hitachi are going to merge their cell phone businesses next year. Under the agreement, NEC plans to integrate its handset division into a tie-up that already existed between Hitachi and Casio starting April 2010 (the begin of the new fiscal year under the Japanese business calendar). In the meantime, the companies involved decided on a name for the new venture: NEC Casio Mobile. The company's capitalization stands at a relatively modest $55 million, with NEC holding a 71% stake, Casio 20% and Hitachi 9%. And as I speculated in my previous article, that new company plans to enter the global market in a (relatively) aggressive way.

It’s time for the MLB to adopt instant replay
Posted on October 12, 2009 | No CommentsLook, I'd be lying if I said I followed baseball this season. I'm a Mets guy, and you just know that, once April hits, you're in for a reasonably OK season, but one that just looses steam as the months go by. So why bother? What I can say, though, is that, given all this evidence, it's about time that baseball adopt the instant replay. Correct calls outweigh everything else. We have the technology!

How AT&T Stumbled Through the iPhone 3GS Launch
Posted on June 23, 2009 | No CommentsOver the weekend Apple waltzed through the latest iPhone launch, while its partner AT&T tripped and stumbled like a dance-school dropout.

But in a surprising move, Apple two weeks ago pointed the [...]
