Open source software is quite common, though you may not know a program is open source if you are user, as opposed to a programmer. The Android operating system is a well-known open source program.

By contrast, programmers who want to write applications for Windows must to access the source code and sign a contract for the right to use the proprietary code.

It is a rare thing for a company to have a loyal worker who has risen through the ranks of the established corporate structure only to redefine the company when they get to the top. Far more often, those who start low on the corporate ladder and work their way up become concerned with preserving the corporate identity of the organization of which they have been a part. But more often than not in the rapidly changing tech sector, survival in business requires flexibility. The companies in the technology industry that cling to rigidly to a set corporate structure, product line or idea often find themselves hemorrhaging capital when the market changes abruptly. Belkin was in danger of suffering that type of horrible corporate downturn when Mark Reynoso turned the company around!

For anyone who is not a fighter pilot or is unfamiliar with video games, a heads up display (HUD) might be a new concept. A heads up display can best be described as a screen that projects information within a person’s field of vision in order to conveniently augment what the user sees. Within a video game, this information generally pertains to the character’s health and weapons. Soon, video games may not be the only way most people use HUDs. Read more »

We are using our smartphones less and less for actual phone calls and more for mobile web browsing, text messaging, video chats, and apps. This implies that we do not like calling people anymore, not when it is far easier to simply text them or pull up a website. Of course, that applies to ordering takeout food as well.

A few years ago, it would have been inconceivable for Amazon to enter the tablet computer market, but with the success of the Kindle e-reader, the Kindle Fire tablet took the 2011 fourth quarter by storm. Amazon’s sales of the Kindle Fire were boosted, in part by the $199 price tag. Compared to Apple’s iPad at $499, the Kindle Fire seemed like a real value to consumers.
