Technology News

A Hothouse for Genius
Columbia may be known more for its salsa and soccer than software, but a small tech incubator is helping to turn the region into a mini Silicon Valley.


Viruses catch up to the Mac
Experts debate just how susceptible Apple is becoming to viruses, as at least two users have been infected by what security experts call the first virus for Mac OS X, an operating system that has survived virtually unscathed from the onslaught of malware unleashed on the Internet in recent years.


FCC approves Net-wiretapping taxes
US federal regulators have ruled that broadband providers and Internet phone companies will have to pick up the tab for the cost of building in mandatory wiretap access for police surveillance.


The Real You?
Internet background searches are awash in misleading, inaccurate and incorrect data. What would an online background check say about you -- and would it be fact or fiction?


Retaliation for Antispam Success?
An unusual spam war has erupted on the net, pitting an irate spammer against Blue Security, a company that specializes in sending high volumes of automated opt-out messages to known spammers. Apparently the spammers don't like being on the receiving end one bit.


Taking the Pulse of Medical Training
Apparently, the experience of playing games like Half-Life or Doom can be so similar to navigating a chaotic hospital setting that clinical-training tools for medical and nursing students are borrowing design and game-play elements from these first-person shooters.


A Futurama Math Conversation with Dr. Jeff Westbrook
If you've ever stayed up late watching Comedy Central and pondering the theoretical underpinnings of The Farnsworth Parabox, then you'll want to read about Jeff Westbrook's transition from theoretical computer science researcher to comedy writer for Futurama and The Simpsons.



Featured Webcast
