Why I'm planning a change of career
Comment All our family laptops have failed at least twice over the past 18 months for one reason or another and have had to have the OS reinstalled. With the industry notoriously unkind to the over-40s, Simon Moores is thinking of following his lead. [17 Jul 2008]
The CIO's route to the top
Comment Unilever CIO Neil Cameron, number three on the CIO50 2008 list, admits quite happily to being a failed art college dropout. Being a techie isn't necessarily the best route to the top of the IT tree, with most CIOs on the silicon.com CIO50 2008 list... [11 Jun 2008]
The Weekly Round-Up: 23.05.08
Round-Up The bad news is that so far the Segway has failed to cause cities to reconstruct themselves spontaneously around a brave new urban transport infrastructure (although they are probably easier to handle than one of these) [23 May 2008]
Quocirca's Straight Talking: Tighten content security
Comment Others like Tumbleweed and Proofpoint, having failed to establish a strong presence in Europe first time around, reckon they can make more of a mark with a renewed focus. But before splashing out on content security, CIOs should take a good look at... [02 May 2008]
Are we losing the security war?
Comment But an observer from another planet might be forgiven for asking why, after all this time, the security industry and world governments between them have failed to deliver any sure-fire solutions for dealing with a global problem - beyond throwing... [29 Apr 2008]
Naked CIO: The true cost of IT
Comment It is an ongoing concern and one that IT departments at large have failed to solve. It's all very well trying to put price tags on everything the IT department does. The trouble is you end up knowing the cost of everything and the value of nothing... [21 Apr 2008]
The Weekly Round-Up: 18.04.08
Round-Up Meanwhile, your configuration management officer has fouled up again, your load balancing test has gone bad and the security patch for your entire desktop range has failed. This week - a chance to help write your own gags for the Round-Up. [18 Apr 2008]
Dear silicon.com... File-sharers, women in tech and the price of 'experts'
Comment And if you don't believe that, look at the number of failed attempts to bring in longer detention for suspected terrorists, they will keep hammering away at that until the next election so don't expect them to drop the NIR and ID card scheme either. [17 Apr 2008]
Editor's Blog: Signs of terminal decline at T5?
Comment Execs I would talk to would segue from the woes at T5 to why their own company had failed to finish this or that project. It's a small claim to fame, I know, but I was one of the passengers who flew from the newly opened Heathrow Terminal 5 last... [16 Apr 2008]
The Naked CIO: Crunch time for large projects
Comment It would be wrong to trivialise failed projects, because we all need to do more to ensure they don't recur. So knowing when to delay or cancel a project is just as important as giving it the green light, says the Naked CIO. [14 Apr 2008]
The Weekly Round-Up: 07.03.08
Round-Up The company's chief operating officer is particularly insouciant about the fuss that started a couple of weeks back when Vista users - note surprising use of the plural - who had downloaded the service pack reported that some applications failed... [07 Mar 2008]
The Weekly Round-Up: 15.02.08
Round-Up So can the British government succeed where the collective legal masses of the music industry have failed? In a deafening cacophony of ringtones that could be heard from outer space (and underwater), handset vendors, mobile operators, developers... [15 Feb 2008]
Minority Report: MacBook Air - slim chance of success?
Comment Inevitably, it failed because, aesthetics aside, it didn't deliver anything that its close desktop Mac relatives already offered, in some cases at better prices. A new Apple sub-notebook was the product the expectant public most wanted to see. [06 Feb 2008]
The Brampton Factor: Why big government IT projects fail
Comment So the projects that failed to deliver benefits commensurate with costs are likely to have added substantially to fruitless expenditure. A £500m prisoner-tracking project failure barely causes a ripple these days. [22 Jan 2008]
Editor's Blog: Digital cold turkey, Himalayan style
Comment So it had always remained an idle dream - until a few weeks back, when, in Nepal for a spot of hiking in the Himalayas over the Christmas period, one after another my gadgets became useless or failed on me. [10 Jan 2008]
