New iPhone and Their Updated OS

iPhone 3G S hits stores Friday: Will the crowds follow?

Despite the intense amount of interest in Apple's third-generation iPhone, this Friday's launch of the device may not bring out the hordes of Apple fans like it has in years past.

First look: iPhone OS 3.0 is better for business, but IT won't be satisfied

The hype over the new iPhone 3.0 OS has matched Apple's previous frenzied heights.

Microsoft created MSE to address a very simple problem: Far too many PCs are unprotected with up-to-date anti-malware products. The company tells me there are a number of reasons for this. First, because many new PCs come with only time-limited security solutions, some users believe they're protected even though the initial subscription period may have ended. Some don't even activate the free, bundled solutions at all. Some--especially those in emerging markets--can't or won't pay for security suites, most of which need to be renewed every year.
