Windows 8: Will change be good for Microsoft?
Wednesday, October 24, 2012 - 03:43 Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images Apple Senior Vice President of Worldwide product marketing Phil Schiller does a side-by-side comparison of the new iPad versus the leading Android tablet on October 23, 2012 in San Jose, California. It's a big week for tech releases. Yesterday, Apple unveiled its new iPad Mini. And on Friday, Microsoft will realease its new Windows 8 operating system . Centered around a "tiled" interface and touchscreen functionality , Windows 8 will look and feel very different from previous versions. Though, Many industry watchers wonder if change is a good thing for Microsoft. Historically, business users have been a key segment for Microsoft. Yet, the company has not always been able to count on businesses to quickly take up a new system due to the cost of upgrading. Such was the case with Microsoft's Windows XP and its successor Vista . At least one business is already signing on to the new system -- Microsoft itself. CEO Steve Ballmer ...

Monday, October 15, 2012 - 09:27 Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images Executive Vice President of EA Sports Andrew Wilson announces the Kinect voice functionality for the new EA Sports games during a Microsoft Xbox press conference on June 4, 2012 in Los Angeles, California. Today, Microsoft unveiled their plans for Xbox Music. With the release of Windows 8 just 11 days away, turns out Microsoft had another trick up its sleeve. The company today announced a new music service called Xbox Music. Despite the name, it'll be available across various Windows devices. The service allows users to listen to whatever they want -- a la carte -- for free with occasional ads. James McQuivey, analyst with Forrester Research, says the move makes sense as music is very important to many consumers, "think of it as Microsoft going fishing for new consumers -- music turns out to be a very fundamental part of our digital lives."

China's Foxconn worker riot and Iran's shadow Internet
Tuesday, September 25, 2012 - 03:02 MIKE CLARKE/AFP/Getty Images A group of protestors from SACOM (Students and Scholars Against Corporate Misbehaviour) demonstrate outside the Foxconn annual general meeting (AGM) in Hong Kong on May 18, 2011. With all this information technology at our disposal, it's striking how getting to the truth of a matter can still be so tough. Two tech stories from opposite sides of the world today remind us how even in 2012 the flow of information is still tightly controlled. First, Iran, where authorities seem to be restricting access to some big websites . Cyrus Farivar is an editor at the online technology publication, Ars Technica. "There were reports that Iran had blocked Gmail and Google," says Cyrus Farivar, an editor at Ars Technica, "thereby cutting off Iranian internet users from using those popular internet services." The reason for the interruption? Some Iranian media report the temporary restriction was in response to protests over the inflammatory ...
