Data archiving with Blu-ray

Data archiving with Blu-ray

By Paul Miller on June 2, 2015

Data archiving with Blu-ray: Silicon Angle was amongst the sites reporting last week’s acquisition of Optical Archive Inc… by Sony. The company built a storage system based upon Blu-ray disks, and Sony clearly sees an opportunity to extend the life and value of the blu-ray format it created. According to [Optical Archive founder Frank] Frankovsky, […]

The Anonymous Press Release and Corporate Responsibility for Data

The Anonymous Press Release and Corporate Responsibility for Data

By Dan Morrill on May 9, 2011

I am not a member of Anonymous, but anyone in the information security field has followed them over the last 18 months as they grew from a general idea to launching DDoS attacks against corporations that did something they did not like, or like in the case of HBGary, did things that were ill advised. […]

US Air Force Forced to Play – by Sony

US Air Force Forced to Play – by Sony

By Zoli Erdos on May 13, 2010

My new HTC Incredible phone has a 1Ghz Snapdragon processor in it.  That’s faster than laptop computers were just a few years ago.  That, and reading the US Air Force story (you have to wait for that a little longer…) reminded me of an interesting conversation with Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu two years ago: Given […]

Brand vs. Quality. Which Would You Pay For?

Brand vs. Quality. Which Would You Pay For?

By Zoli Erdos on December 7, 2009

Time to re-evaluate just what we consider “good brands” vs. junk.  I could not resist the summer back-to-school discounts and upgraded two laptops – one of them is already making funny noises. Tired already?   It’s an HP.  Perhaps just a co-incidence –  but my desktop monster, just two years old has long been pretending it […]

College Students Reject the Kindle:  What e-Book Reader is Going to Work?

College Students Reject the Kindle: What e-Book Reader is Going to Work?

By Dan Morrill on September 29, 2009

As students begin to reject the Amazon Kindle ebook reader, the idea of ebooks as text books for colleges should start taking center stage. What device or system is going to truly work for busy students who want to use ebooks, but are finding it hard to use them at all on any device? Ebooks […]

Sony VAIO PCs Have Been Selling with Google Chrome as Default Browser for Quite a While

Sony VAIO PCs Have Been Selling with Google Chrome as Default Browser for Quite a While

By Zoli Erdos on September 1, 2009

Several blogs report the “news”, based on a Financial Times article that Sony VAIO PC’s will soon be selling with Google’s Chrome browser as default browser in the US.  Nice, and it will no doubt help Google’s browser which still has less than 2% market share. But it’s not exactly news.  A month or so […]

It’s a Sony, and It’s a Netbook. How to Turn Your Dead Weight Windows Notebook Into a Speedy Netbook.

It’s a Sony, and It’s a Netbook. How to Turn Your Dead Weight Windows Notebook Into a Speedy Netbook.

By Zoli Erdos on May 21, 2009

No, it’s not a P-Series, which Sony makes a point of calling a Lifestyle PC, not a Netbook anyway.   But I do have a nimble, fast Sony Netbook: a PCG FXA49. It’s my old, reliable notebook purchased about 7 years ago.  It suffered from Windows Disease, the most commonly known symptom of which is the […]
