Cheat Sheet But in recent years rumour had it the search behemoth was eyeing up the mobile space with a view to making a mobile phone - or 'Gphone' as journos dubbed it. Android will come with some basic apps as standard (such as a web browser) but the idea is...

Cheat Sheet And it's free to use, which you would obviously expect from the Beeb. How long's it been around? During the latter half of the year, more people started using the service and it received a full marketing launch on Christmas Day - which was also...

Cheat Sheet Is it really that important? Well the UK has plans to use it for electronic 'pay per mile' road use charging by 2014 as it's cheaper than other tech available and more accurate than GPS. Perhaps the European Union (EU) is hoping it'll live up to...

Cheat Sheet Another modern day example of where you can see encryption at work is on the likes of DRM protection for music, where the music is coded so it cannot be played on unauthorised machines. In symmetric-key encryption, each computer has a secret key...

Cheat Sheet Plus standards battles are still being played out so the pieces are in flux as it were. Needless to say it didn't do massively well - there were rumours subscribers numbered fewer than 10,000. So it's probably fair to say operators in the UK are...

Cheat Sheet Well, it's all about speed, with the fastest computers being labelled as supercomputers. More on Blue Gene later but IBM is also currently working on a computer nicknamed 'Roadrunner' that will be capable of performing more than a quadrillion...

Cheat Sheet And when it comes to 3G, operators want to make sure everyone can get it. So it's for people out in the sticks? I wouldn't get hung up on those that are remote - it could be that in the middle of a dense building 3G doesn't penetrate an office's...

Cheat Sheet It also means they have to obtain consent from individuals to process their personal data and to ensure it is processed fairly. That's a bit out of date isn't it? And it isn't just customers - it means partners, suppliers and your own employees as...

Cheat Sheet It might be iPods or other removable storage media being brought in by staff and plugged into the network, or it could be employees using applications the IT department hasn't approved such as IM, webmail or Skype within the enterprise.
[06 Jul 2007]
Cheat Sheet Like many aspects of the web, the youth has long been down with it - creating profiles, uploading photos, posting links and generally spending a lot of time tinkering with their online profiles. It's also something that hasn't escaped advertising...
[15 Jun 2007]
Cheat Sheet What is it? Why isn't it the best approach? Well, I'm not saying it isn't. It's nothing new - it's was used in France, Australia and New Zealand for around 10 years before coming to the UK. It's just that there's been a lot of debate over why chip...
[13 Jun 2007]
Cheat Sheet Well, there is a bit more to it than that. Reviews can cover anything from property and construction developments to policy development, and from acquisitions to IT-enabled business change. If a review allocates a green light to a project then it...

Cheat Sheet Analysts are predicting £10m for IT and £12m for new processes - costing the industry around £1bn. It also does away with the idea that all share trading had to be done through exchanges. They tried to do it before with something called the...

Cheat Sheet What does it cover? But of course - IT infrastructure library. One that Itil promoters tout is lower IT costs because of the greater efficiency and productivity and better control of projects which it can bring about.
[05 Jun 2007]
Cheat Sheet If it's virtual it can't do anything useful in the real world, can it? Just because you can't reach out and touch something doesn't mean it isn't real - or extremely useful to businesses. A lot of companies turn to virtualisation when they want to...
[04 Jun 2007]
Cheat Sheet It's green and has a handle - is it a watering can? No, it's the $100 laptop. There's no hard disk but it will have four USB ports and wireless broadband that can mesh network. According to MIT Media Lab, it's because monitors are getting cheaper.
[29 May 2007]
Cheat Sheet Since the turn of the century, wi-fi hotspots have really taken off and it's almost impossible now to find a public place or office that doesn't offer wi-fi access. Bit pricey though isn't it? But it's not all about access out and about, is it?
[24 May 2007]
Cheat Sheet It's all about speed, essentially. But, like the ADSL we know now, such technologies see speeds decrease the further away the premises are from the telephone exchange and it's thought the 24Mbps speeds are only achievable for those less than a few...
[11 May 2007]
Cheat Sheet It's used as a tracking technology whereby identification chips are attached to individual items or pallets and read by handheld or stationary readers. It's pretty much doing what it says on the tin - it's where two machines communicate with each...
