Editor's Blog: Why we write about the iPhone
Comment And I'd argue that simply to focus on the hardware itself, no matter how shiny or well designed it is, misses the point. I'm fed up with all the headlines about this device. Or am I missing the point - what does it do that a high-end Nokia doesn't... [17 Jul 2008]
Peter Cochrane's Blog: Security scare
Comment Always assume that sooner or later you or someone in your company will do something really stupid - no matter how smart you or they are. Without revealing what I did or how and where I did it, I have to confess to having just done something... [18 Jun 2008]
The Weekly Round-Up: 13.06.08
Round-Up The Round-Up will not mention it again, no matter how much it wants to (OK, apart from here). The Round-Up would like to assure you that this week's column is an iPhone-free zone. It realises that just about every news organisation in the world has... [13 Jun 2008]
Dear silicon.com... Vista gets down to business, caught on camera, ID cards…
Comment It's still going to be implemented no matter what anyone says. Readers were also busy commenting on the "ring of steel" automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) camera rollout in Manchester, while ID cards were a hot topic once again… [12 Jun 2008]
The Weekly Round-Up: 23.05.08
Round-Up As a matter of coincidence it's the intro the Round-Up has always dreamed about and now it's here. If the thought of ermine-clad Lords gliding gracefully up and down the hallowed corridors of the Palace of Westminster on Segways is your idea of a... [23 May 2008]
The Naked CIO: Process not bureaucracy
Comment It is just a matter of getting others to believe it. Managers tend to recoil from any discussion about process because they equate it with bureaucracy. They're wrong, says the Naked CIO. Proper process can give organisations an edge. [12 May 2008]
Are we losing the security war?
Comment In time for Infosec 2003, I wrote a Microsoft-sponsored report entitled A Matter of Trust, which, as I'm sure you'll have guessed, focused on the company's Trustworthy Computing initiative. Now security experts admit traditional approaches can't... [29 Apr 2008]
Naked CIO: The true cost of IT
Comment To represent this cost, or for that matter the relative cost of opportunity, perhaps cost-based services models are the way to go. It's all very well trying to put price tags on everything the IT department does. [21 Apr 2008]
The ISO is right to back Microsoft's OOXML
Comment Whether this is because they regard it as the best solution available - or think moving away from what is effectively a de facto standard for office tools in the Western world will be more trouble than it is worth - doesn't really matter. [04 Apr 2008]
The Naked CIO: IT staff disloyalty
Comment My company as a matter of standard operating policy gives generous bonuses, healthcare and life insurance. Gone are the days when loyalty to your employer counted for something. What most readers found provocative in my column on recruitment... [31 Mar 2008]
Box-tickers risk serious data breaches
Comment Life would be simple if curing security headaches were just a matter of buying some new technology. The company lives it, every day, as a matter of course. What constitutes good security today? Simply throwing a firewall at your system won't cut it... [28 Mar 2008]
Legal Eye: Is encryption really the silver bullet?
Comment Unfortunately, no matter how good the policy and the technology, the human element will always provide the weak link in the security chain. But organisations would be wrong to pin all their hopes on it, warns lawyer Stewart James. [27 Mar 2008]
You won't get promoted looking like that
Comment Understanding your personal brand is not simply a matter of how you look. Avoid pitfalls because the focus will be on your strengths and attributes no matter what is happening in the business. A simplistic look at most medium to large companies... [20 Mar 2008]
Peter Cochrane's Blog: DVD format wars
Comment Just give me YouTube on afterburners, with the content I want online, in the form I want at a time I desire, no matter what the format or location. There are many theories about how one technology or brand wins the global market over another. [17 Mar 2008]
The Naked CIO: Shadow of the job axe
Comment It doesn't matter that payroll represents more than 80 per cent of my annual operational costs. With spring and recession in the air, a CEO's fancy turns to pruning costs - and for the Naked CIO's department that means job cuts. [03 Mar 2008]
