Actors sometimes do some crazy things to prepare for their roles on the big screen. Some so thoroughly inhabit their characters, they can't (or won't) shut them off even off-camera, like Daniel Day-Lewis. Others pork up or whittle way, way down, like Bridget Jones's Diary's Renée Zellweger or The Machinist's Christian Bale. Word has it, the latter even subsisted on just coffee and a...
Since the first glimpse of the upcoming movie, JOBS, has gone into the wild, reactions have been mixed. Some people can't get over Ashton Kutcher playing the lead role of Steve Jobs, while others seem to enjoy the dramatization of the late tech legend's life. But there's one reaction that may rise above the rest, and that's Steve Wozniak's. And he says the clip that went viral ahead of...

This approach ruled the roost for generations, going back to when papers were turned out on hand-crank printing presses. When I was in recruitment advertising, around the time the millennial digits first flipped its zeroes, help wanted ads were still big...
ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) has finally approved a new policy for top-level domains that it has been working on for three years. The new concept will create an unlimited number of new domains, but you had better have deep pockets before you just run out trying to apply to have your name turned into a URL.

Apparently making a presentation this week at WWDC 2011 wasn't enough for Apple CEO Steve Jobs as he went before the Cupertino City Council on Tuesday to make another. Back in 2010, Apple purchased the HP campus that the latter had occupied in Cupertino, a city far more famous for being the long standing home of the company behind Mac computers.
