Piracy is becoming more and more of a problem in today’s society at an alarming rate. Some people simply don’t feel the need to pay for what they want to watch or listen to, while others feel they should be allowed to download copies of media they’ve already purchased. Either way, it’s illegal folks… and it’s yourself that you’re hurting. As piracy grows, so does the cost of the media to the public. You may ...

Three Ways to Continue Your Professional Development While Working from Home Our world today is changing the way we work: Gas prices are driving an increasing number of professionals to telecommute and the economy is driving more and more employers to cut back on internal staff (especially in the areas of public relations and marketing) and seek external resources on a project-by-project basis. The result is significant growth in the number of professionals working from ...

This post is a guest post by Cyndy Aleo-Carreira, contributing editor at The Industry Standard. Two stories have gone completely viral in the blogosphere this month; one I played a part in, and one I didn’t. The first was the story of Dell’s application to trademark the term cloud computing, a trademark that was all but a done deal until the blogosphere errupted in a righteous fury over a company taking advantage. From the first ...

The new Firefox 3 has a bunch of cool features. One uncool feature: A habit of telling you that perfectly functioning sites, like those run by the U.S. Army and by Yahoo, are unsafe. The problem: The folks at Mozilla are being overprotective. Specifically, they've made the new browser very sensitive to a digital authentication technology called SSL Certificates. An SSL Certificate is basically a digital signature telling you that the person that owns the ...

Verizon Wireless, which passed up the opportunity to exclusively sell Apple's iPhone, wants you to know that it's very concerned that the latest edition of Apple's phone doesn't work as well as advertised. Today's reminder, via a now-almost-daily iPhone-problems email from Verizon's public relations department: a Yahoo! Tech article noting that last night's iPhone software update didn't fix some users' problems with dropped calls, abrupt network switches, or poor reception. But who cares! More constructive: ...

Illegal content. That’s why the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) took down the online music mix tape maker Muxtape yesterday, it said in a statement to Portfolio’s Sam Gustin. While this is hardly surprising to many of us, it’s odd that Muxtape said yesterday that it was under the impression that no artist or label had complained about the music sharing service. The RIAA paints a different picture: “For the past several months, we ...

We thank the online video gods for Hulu, if for no other reason than the ability to write a Nielsen web video measurement post without the headline “YouTube Still #1.” Sure, YouTube is still in first place in terms of video plays, with more than 5 billion video streams served to more than 77 million unique users in July. But Hulu is now No. 8 in Nielsen’s ranking of the top 10 video sites, generating ...

Security company Marshal reports that their latest survey found 29% of respondents willing to admit that they have purchased something from a spam e-mail. While that number seems pretty questionable, PCMag's Appscout points to a related survey from Forrester in 2004 that found 20% of people say they have bought from spammers. In other words, if you believe these studies - it's getting worse, not better. Context Marshal (no relation) says that global spam volumes ...

The alleged bigfoot discovery last week has been exposed as a hoax. The Searching for Bigfoot site has released a statement saying that after gaining access to the Bigfoot body, they discovered that it was nothing more than a rubber suit. A copy of a Fox News report in the video above. It should really come as no great surprise that the whole thing is a hoax. We still don’t know exactly what the people ...
