The Large Hadron Collider created by CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, officially became the world’s highest-energy particle accelerator on Monday. The enormous facility has sent two beams of protons shooting through its ring at 1.18 teraelectronvolts. It happened 10 days after scientists started up the collider again following a one-year hiatus due to [...]
Ask any IT organization to identify the No. 1 cause of network performance problems, and they’ll probably point to high-profile events: denial-of-service attacks, computer viruses, fiber cuts, power outages or hardware failures. However, studies show that more than two-thirds of network issues are actually tied to a simple everyday activity: The ungoverned process of IT [...]

Google’s Chrome OS is really a copy of several products already on the market and an interesting recreation of the thin client concept that Sun and Oracle came up with over a decade ago. You could argue, however, that most successful products, like the iPod and iPhone, are simply better copies of what came before. [...]

Cyberpunk author William Gibson once wrote, “The street finds its own use for things.” That’s been the case for the Mac mini since its introduction in 2005. Originally marketed as a personal computer, it quickly gained street cred as a media server for the blossoming digital living room. Now Apple has given its mighty mite [...]

The Linux Blog Safari “Tech Turkeys” column may have come and gone, but there’s one more story to share that could almost have been included. What else can you call it, after all, when a Linux professional is apparently fired for using Linux? Sound too strange to be true? Better read on. The story involves [...]

It ended up being a somewhat different PDC than we had anticipated, and even, to a certain extent, than we were led to believe. Maybe this was due in part to a little intentional misdirection to help generate surprise, but in the end, the big stories here in Los Angeles last week were more evolutionary [...]
