Technology: where on the scale from cure to curse?

I'm old enough to remember the many apocalyptic scenarios conjured up by nuclear weapons and the Cold War. From Alas, Babylon to "The Day After", from Godzilla himself, the second half of the Twentieth Century was repeatedly haunted by vivid imaginings of the post-nuclear world, or its ending....

PitchEngine revs up public beta, puts the social in PR

Last week I wrote about how bloggers could better work with public relations folks. While I won't to get into the habit of writing about PR I think we'd all agree that, like it or not, there's a direct correlation between it and social media, especially when we're talking...

Garmin Project Bobcat beta software hits version 2.0.0.8

I'm pretty partial to my nüvi GPS receiver from Garmin because I've always preferred the nüvi's maps and user interface design to that of their competition. One thing that's a boon for Mac owners is Garmin's beta Project Bobcat software for Mac OS X that was announced in January and...
