Wall Street Journal Blog & Register reports Rock Artist's servers stolen

How secure is your data center? Ask rock music artist Peter Gabriel and his response would be not very secure at all. According to a Wall Street Journal blob written by Ben Worthen, Peter Gabriel’s website has been unavailable and the following message was posted on his website: “The majority of Real World, Peter Gabriel and WOMAD web services are currently off-line.

Google's Earnings Expose Wall Street's Limitations

The past two weeks have been full of earning reports and, more significantly, earning surprises. While the stock market has been on a roller coaster ride, many investors have been on the sidelines, confused by Wall Street’s reaction. Traders are making merry; "buy the dips, sell the rips" seems to be working really well.

Can You Access Your Own Cash Register Data?

jeronimo989 writes "A customer of mine has a small shop and asked me to look for an electronic cash register. One of the requirements is to retrieve the sales data from the cash register in some accessible format so he can import it in the software of his choice (which happens to be OpenOffice), either by downloading the data on a Flash card, connecting a laptop via USB, or even via a direct modem connection. As far as the cash register itself is concerned, he doesn't need anything too fancy; any 'entry level' machine for small businesses is probably OK (as long as it keeps an electronic journal, of course). Which options do we have? Are there cash register manufacturers out there that allow accessing the sales data directly in an open format?

Mossberg hedges 3G iPhone comments

Wall Street Journal columnist Walt Mossberg is claiming that his previous comments indicating that a 3G iPhone would debut in the "next 60 days" were based on the same, widely reported speculation to which other pundits have access, and that he has "no idea" when Apple will release the new device. Silicon Alley Insider reports that Mossberg said "If I knew when this date was, why would I announce it in the middle of a sentence at the Finnish embassy, rather than report it in the Wall Street Journal?" The veteran writer made the comment while discussing the limits of cellular broadband in the US, noting that third-generation access in the country is still slow compared to other areas of the world.

Microsoft May Shatter the Silence Today, Wall St. Journal Predicts

The Wall Street Journal thinks that Microsoft is about to break the break the deafening silence that has hung in the air since Yahoo! ignored Microsoft’s Saturday deadline to deal or be acquired by force at a lower price.

Blog Update: Real Estate Research Drums up Profits

Despite an outcry among local residents who would prefer to see 22 acres in Middletown, N.J., preserved rather than placed on the market as a three-lot subdivision, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band drummer Max Weinberg succeeded in gaining approval for a well-researched plan that authorities stated was “done by the book,� according to the Wall Street Journal.

Infamous Cuban Blogger Evades Censors

DALLAS – The Cuban government has blocked the island’s access to a blog written by Yoani Sanchez, the young woman who caused a sensation with her comments about everyday life in Havana on her blog “Generation Y.” In an op-ed for the Dallas newspaper Al Día , Álvaro Vargas Llosa, director of the Center for Global Prosperity, compares the blog to the samizdat, the clandestine distribution of government-suppressed literature in Soviet-bloc countries. Sanchez, in her thirties, lives in Cuba with her husband and 12-year-old son. She reportedly writes her blog from Internet cafes in tourist hotels, downloading text from a memory card and transmitting the blog through a server in Germany. Although only 200,000 Cubans have Internet access on the island, Sanchez’s blog has become infamous, receiving 1,200,000 visitors from inside and outside Cuba

Blog Roll - Embracing Bubbles

Paul Kedrosky is aghast that someone on TV Wednesday suggested Wall Street should have saved itself from the next bubble. “Not only did Wall Street know there was a bubble, it embraced it, the same way it did the Nasdaq bubble of the late ’90s. It did? You bet — it had to,� he writes on Infectious Greed. “Shorting the bubble would have been disastrous; avoiding the real estate sector would have had your results trail your competitors disastrously. Creating an environment where financial services companies had to take big risks to maintain parity, and then blaming the banks for doing what the had to do to pacify shareholders, is just plain silly.�
