the president to seize “emergency” control of the Internet
by Declan McCullagh Sen. Jay Rockefeller alarmed technology and telecommunications firms last year when he announced a plan for the president to seize “emergency” control of the Internet. Now the West Virginia Democrat is trying again with a new version that aides hope will be seen as less extreme. During a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill on Wednesday attended by about a dozen industry representatives, CNET has learned, Rockefeller’s staff pitched a revised version of his controversial cybersecurity legislation. It says that after the president chooses to “declare a cybersecurity emergency,” he can activate a “response and restoration plan” involving networks owned and operated by the private sector. In an attempt to limit criticism, instead of spelling out the plan’s details, the … Read entire article »

USB drives have to be one of the hottest ways to store and move large amounts of data between computers. If you do not have a USB drive ((Thumb / Flash / Key / Jump / Memory / Pen) are alternative names you might hear others call it) you might be getting left behind. I personally use my flash drive daily to move data from my computers at home to class room computers. USB drives come in … Read entire article »

Acer Timeline: Don’t buy a netbook, get this instead
Learn why a new breed of laptops such as the Acer Timelime series is gaining steam and why they often make a lot more sense to buy than netbooks. —————————————————————————————————————————————————— When I wrote my article “MSI X340 Slim: The best laptop you’ve never heard of,” several TechRepublic members responded by saying that a similar laptop in the same class was the Acer Timeline series. Both the MSI X340 and the Acer Timeline are part of what Intel calls its Consumer Ultra-Low Voltage (CULV) line of machines. These laptops are characterized by their thin, light designs, long battery life, and processors that can handle bigger loads than netbooks. So, at the prompting of the TechRepublic community, I got a hold of an Acer Timeline and put it through its paces. Here are the pros … Read entire article »

10 things to remember in Excel
If your Excel skills are perennially rusty, this cheat sheet will help you knock out basic tasks without forcing you to scramble back up the learning curve. Like a lot of business software users, I’m a generalist. On any given day, my job may require a little number crunching and word processing, and maybe some page layout, slide show creation, or report building. For the most part, the various Office apps make it easy to meet these needs. But certain tasks just don’t come up often enough for me to keep them in my head. (Yes, I’m blaming the tasks here.) Excel is a good example. I use it every day, but I seldom need to do more than enter data or a simple formula. So when a job requires … Read entire article »
