This is an excellent example of members of Congress being the “non participants” in technology if this is the case. Everybody knows, Best Buy tells you as well as other retailers to secure your wireless network. These are the folks making laws that serve on Committees like Homeland Security...

I have been using Google Voice and I can see why a desktop application would be popular as there are mobile phone applications for the I Phone and Blackberry so why not the desktop. You can configure your phone number different ways. I have mine configured as a place to leave messages right...

I tried this out a few times and it’s true, when you search for an item, “Google Health” results are at the top of the heap. This is one example and I did a few more. What I saw next didn’t necessarily make me happy but it allows you to get an alert if they discover any security breaches...

As more reports on radiation overdose make it to the news, this appears to be an issue that needs some software attention , not only with the manufacturers but also a tracking system as a back up. If it is missed at the hospital or facility level, a new data base complete with algorithmic formulas...

Sometimes I feel like I keep everyone confused at times, so if I do that my apologies. The reason for this post is to bring to light the fact that I have 2 search boxes on this site, not by design, but they both do different jobs in locating information. The first Search box does an extensive relevancy...

This is pretty interesting to say the least, as they want to move the frequencies over to “white spaces”. Way back when wireless was brand new, a lot of folks used to have fun with with white spaces as nobody cared then and there were not enough uses to make a difference. The ones affected...

The Genomics business is getting more personalized too as time moves on and current marketing is also causing some restructuring and change to occur. In a way you this is good as a patient can focus their interest in one direction or another, do you want more health or ancestry related information...

The reason for the layoffs was slated to current economic conditions. I think what the company is trying to do is in the long run a good thing with bringing an awareness and information to consumers, but still maybe a bit of a luxury item with many just trying to get by at present. 23 and...

This is actually pretty nice and somewhat resembles a couple other products I use, but not for reading the news. There are subjects you can sort by and you can have “headlines” on the top row and “health” on the bottom for a quick example. You can also zoom in to see the larger versions...

One more new feature added here that can make it easy to search while on the blog. This is pretty neat and works well and will find related information quickly, both here and on the web too. It pops up in a small window right where the post is located. This is the search box to use...

With the recent acquisitions to include Sun Microsystems, the company certainly has many options and ways to go with this. Oracle has been known for growth over the years by purchasing and bringing software companies into the fold. This article makes reference to comments made last year,...

Amazon, Google and Microsoft are the 3 big players for now in the Cloud market. For the purpose of this post, we are talking about external clouds. There is also the internal cloud which is a virtual machine configuration. The FDA already trusts secure external servers...

Xconomy had a chance to catch up with George Church with a few questions and commented favorably on the use and working towards helping patients with genomic data. He stated it’s not so much about genomics as it is personally controlled health records and speaks of the ability to share genomic...
