You know, Mark Cuban has an excellent point: Twitter may not have a business model just yet, but it can no longer say that no one’s making money from it. Over the weekend, the eccentric and outspoken Dallas Mavericks owners (not to mention a media mogul in his free time) decided to lash out once more against NBA referees. Not that lashing out is anything new for Cuban, as he’s been fined around $1.5 million in total and suspended from three games — and that was from his 14 previous fines!Shortly after a 103-101

OnStar is General Motor’s security and safety system which, if you’ve heard the radio ads, can do everything from get your doors unlocked if you lock your keys in the car to automatically letting OnStar reps know if you are in an accident, even if you are unconscious. According to information leaked in a recent online survey, you may soon find Twitter integration on your OnStar unit. Wait, wait, isn’t this precisely the sort of distraction that California was trying to outlaw with its anti-SMS while driving

With all the rage low-cost netbooks have been getting lately, let's not forget that there are some good deals to be had on performance notebooks. Gaming laptops are still being developed and are always improving. Today we take an in-depth look at ASUS's pairing of a T9550 Core 2 Duo processor and ATI's Mobility Radeon 4650 in the N81Vp laptop.

Time Warner Cable, the second-largest cable operator in the country, is working with customers to test a subscriber model for online TV viewing. Residents who pay for HBO can watch Big Love, Entourage and other programs on their computers, using special software and a personal log-in.

Every single network is having a hard time trying to figure out how to make money on their Internet delivery, said Brian Baker, the chief executive of Widevine Technologies, which helps owners of content distribute their programming securely online. Advertisers are not willing to pay top dollar for content delivered over the Internet to PCs, and its beginning to jeopardize the multibillion-dollar relationship the networks have with their cable and satellite providers.

A cyber spy network based mainly in China has tapped into classified documents from government and private organizations in 103 countries, including the computers of Tibetan exiles, Canadian researchers said Saturday.

The work of the Information Warfare Monitor initially focused on allegations of Chinese cyber espionage against the Tibetan community in exile, and eventually led to a much wider network of compromised machines, the Internet-based research group said. “We uncovered real-time evidence of malware that had penetrated Tibetan computer systems, extracting sensitive documents from the private office of the Dalai Lama,” investigator Greg Walton said.

60 Minutes is a great show, for the most part (and let’s not forget it has Andy Rooney!), but a report Sunday night on the Conficker worm titled “The Internet is Infected” is probably the definition of hyperbole. The report, a full transcript of which is here, and a video below, was designed to alarm, and I’m sure it did. The title alone is alarming, but what it doesn’t address, and what the report fails to mention is the following: Conficker only affects Windows PCsIt exploits a vulnerability in Windows that

People who have a hard time seeing traffic lights or cars at night, who miss facial gestures, or who need a great deal of light to read typically suffer from poor contrast sensitivity. This condition is thought to be correctable by wearing glasses or contact lenses or by surgery. Now, researchers say they may have found a way to improve contrast sensitivity naturally with the help of an unlikely source—video games. According to a study published in Nature Neuroscience, playing action video games could help improve

After a 10-month cyber espionage investigation, researchers have found 1,295 computers in 103 countries with software that is capable of stealing information from high-profile targets such as the Dalai Lama and government agencies around the world. In the report published today by Information Warfare Monitor, a Toronto-based organization, we learn the affected computers include embassies belonging to Germany, India, Romania, and Thailand as well as the ministries of foreign affairs for Barbados, Iran, and Latvia.

Say what you will about the iPhone (and the App Store in particular), but it has undoubtedly set off a chain reaction of me-toos. Not long ago, the Android Market was launched to bring the all-too-familiar app shopping experience to G1 users, and now we’re hearing that RIM, Nokia and Microsoft are planning to follow suit in short order. Reportedly, Research In Motion will be the first of the trio to debut its own application mart when the CTIA trade show kicks off on Wednesday. The name? BlackBerry App World.
