With the technology, media and entertainment (TME) sector featuring several unsuccessful ventures just 10 months in, what can we learn from the remnants of these best video business intentions dotting the field of dreams? Mobile devices and cloud computing have changed the way companies do business, but as technology has evolved, so has the nature of the threats enterprises face. Just a few years ago, IT departments were focused on preventing damage to computers and networks from viruses and worms. When mobile apps became widely popular, app stores initially struggled to make downloading safe for users, but while some challenges remain, today reputable app sources have weeded out the most dangerous threats through better vetting practices. A new survey by Microsoft polled a little over 1,000 people and discovered that roughly four in 10 Americans report enduring either daily or weekly attempts by cyber criminals to gain access to their personal computer. Russian espionage agents have managed to infiltrate the White House's unclassified computer network, according to the Washington Post. Orbital Sciences Corporation lost its third commercial supply mission, Orb-3, to the International Space Station (ISS) on Tuesday, Oct. 28, around 6:23 p.m. (EDT) due to an flight anomaly in the first stage. It has been a long and winding road for both Alki David-backed FilmOn and Barry Diller's Aereo, which have business models that started out by offering local TV feeds via the Internet for a monthly, under-$10 subscription. The problem is that they weren't paying broadcasters retransmission fees for the right to do so. This week, Alienware released their new 13 product into the market. This carbon fiber wonder showcases what I think is an emerging trend to return back to the roots of performance gaming for desktop and laptop computers. I carried an earlier version of this product for nearly two years and it remains one of my favorite. As AT&T found out rather forcefully, in the U.S. there are consequences to seemingly over-promise and under delivery. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the regulatory entity responsible to for protecting consumers from deceptive practices, has filed a complaint against AT&T Mobility, LLC, charging that the mobile operator has misled what the Commission says are millions of consumers by charging them for unlimited data plans when in fact AT&T has in practice reduced data speeds of upwards of 90 percent in some cases. The best way to say farewell to 2014 is by cleaning up your web design and getting it 2015-ready. Start by understanding that you need responsive design-it's no longer an option. In 2014, it became official: There are more people using mobile devices than desktop devices to be online, and the vast majority of Americans research products and services on their smartphone before ever making a buy. If you don't have responsive design that ensures your website shows up quickly and beautifully on every browser and gadget, you're opting out of sales. Way back in Jan. 2001, iTunes 1.0 was released for a world that still didn't have the Apple-everything fan base of today. Over the years however, and especially with the release of the iPod and popularity of digital music, podcasts and movies, its popularity grew rapidly. Researchers believe the global VoLTE (Voice over LTE) market should see explosive growth over the next few years, with the number of connections growing to 900 million, a CAGR of over 140 percent. From Cloud Arena, the bell has just rung signifying the next round of the Microsoft vs. Google battle. This time, it is Microsoft which comes out swinging, announcing it is doing away with OneDrive cloud storage limits for its Office 365 customers-further evidence that storage has become nearly a commodity (sorry, Dropbox). With the launch of Apple Pay, we have seen a significant degree of retailer resistance growing. A group of retailers are disabling the near-field communications function of their retail checkout systems, to prevent use of Apple Pay.
