Perfect collaboration. Microsoft should do it; they claim they do. But the March 2014 issue of PCWorld magazine got it right: Neither Microsoft nor anybody else is quite there yet. Not Google Drive, nor Dropbox. Not Jive, nor Zoho. Surface Pro 3 and the latest iPad Air have been out for a while and they have recently been supplemented with the new MacBook and Surface 3. In looking at comparisons, I think most reviewers are missing the point because Surface isn't just an alternative to the iPad or MacBook; it is an alternative to the MacBook and iPad. One of its core features is that it allows you to leave one of these products at home. So the comparison shouldn't be to just the MacBook but to the dual use of a MacBook and iPad. Today, April 9, 2015, LinkedIn announced that it was entering into an agreement to acquire lynda.com. This is a privately held online education company offering thousands of video courses in software, creative and business skills. The company was founded in 1995 by Lynda Weinman and Bruce Heavin and produces video tutorials taught by industry experts. Members have unlimited access to watch the videos, which are primarily educational. Over-the-top (OTT) operators are proliferating-and offering consumers an ever-greater opportunity to cut the cord, i.e., to ditch their pay-TV subscriptions in favor of Internet-delivered video. But there's one programming feather in the cap that has eluded most OTT providers so far: live broadcast TV. We live in a Digital Age. Access to the Internet is now seen by most governments as a basic right for citizens, just like education. In 2009, France went further by declaring that access to the Internet is a basic human right in the country. Every person, regardless of age, gender, income or location, has the right to access the web and everything it offers. Broadband Internet penetration is growing fast and bandwidth speed is increasing even faster thanks to mobile and optic fiber technologies fueling adoption and utilization of video. This is a technology which both governments and businesses should not neglect when considering offering services and products to citizens who are consumers at the same time. Depression is a serious illness that affects many and includes consistent feelings of sadness and even a loss of interest in the things that once brought joy. Facebook recently announced that it will soon enable businesses to communicate with customers using its Businesses on Messenger service. This will allow businesses to send information ranging from simple delivery tracking updates to changing previously placed orders as messages to Facebook Messenger users. In a world where thousands of businesses are started every year, only a few actually make it big. There are plenty of success stories, especially in the tech field. In fact, the tech field is what gave us the world we are living in today that relies on smartphones, computers, and Google to handle all of our needs. For years, the only way to get HBO programming was to pay ridiculous amounts of money every month for not only access to HBO, but also access to the sufficiently high cable programming tier that would even allow users to pay for HBO to begin with. At any rate, HBO has since been opening up its service a bit, and in turn offering access to its shows via other means, and that's led to the launch of HBO Now, a stand-alone premium subscription tier that will offer access to all those big HBO shows. Web applications are becoming an ever-larger part of the Internet. But Google Ventures has just put down a pretty substantial bet-part of a $12 million funding round's worth of substantial that included names like Kleiner Perkins and Accel Partners-that modern Web applications could use a bit of shoring up in the way such are both built and maintained. That bet was placed behind a company called CoreOS, and it's got quite the prospect to offer. While the circumstances are somewhat unique, a Manhattan Supreme Court Justice, Matthew Cooper, has granted permission to a woman to file divorce paper on her hard-to-find husband using Facebook. It's been a little over two years since the White House announced a new kind of plan to bring more digital tools into normal government operations in a bid to provide something like customer service to the actual taxpayers. Reports emerging suggest that, so far, the so-called Digital Government Strategy was actually a sound move, producing a variety of benefits. But despite the benefits coming available, a new report from Accenture Federal Services suggests that there's still doubt as to overall impact. People who travel outside the U.S. often see their mobile phone bills take a huge jump. This is because most carriers have arrangements with local carriers abroad to gain wholesale access to their networks. Naturally, the added cost finds its way into your bill at the end of the month. The major part of the cost is generally seen in your data plan which gets used every time you access the Internet.
