Here's how democracy works in the digital age. Just before Apple unveiled the iPod last October, the Internet rumor mill was rife with speculation that the device would be some kind of personal organizer--Steve Jobs' answer to the Palm Pilot. The iPod turned out to be a palm-size music player with a five-gigabyte hard drive (a 10-GB version was released two weeks ago). But now, six months later, that original speculation doesn't seem too wrong. That's because Apple's hard-core users quickly figured out how to hack the device and write new software for it. It's as if they told Jobs, Very nice, Steve, but what we needed was a ...

If the description so far makes Vista sound a lot like the Macintosh, well, you’re right. You get the feeling that Microsoft’s managers put Mac OS X on an easel and told the programmers, “Copy that.”

Here are some of the grace notes that will remind you of similar ones on the Mac: A list of favorite PC locations appea ...

This week's twist in the Microsoft-Yahoo soap opera has seen special guest Google entering the scene again after an absence of a few months.

Yahoo has done a deal with Google to run Google ads alongside Yahoo search results in North America. This is a non-exclusive deal which Yahoo could repeat with other ad providers if it wanted.

The deal Yahoo has struck with Microsoft's biggest rival looks like a fit of pique. On Thursday, Microsoft said it wouldn't consider buying all of Yahoo, as it once tried to, but might just be interested in buying a part, such as the search business.

The emerging trends in retailing indicate paradigm shift from smaller retail outlets to retail giants with the increasing growth of retail business through out the world. But, to what extent, the market potential can be tapped is entirely upto the retailer as to how much can he invest in and shell out more bread for the retail business.

A threat can readily be converted into an opportunity, if the pitfalls are known, analyzed and then put to good use.

We have the latest example of Wal-Mart in Mexico the owners of which created a landmark by converting an odd stacked in their kitty to their favour. They spilled their beans having converted a garbage dump into a mega mall.
