Ever the publicity hound, Sen. Chuck Schumer, who obviously has no idea what additive manufacturing actually is, came out big and strong against "stomach-churning" 3D printed plastic guns last week.

"Everyone's seen the movie 'In The Line of Fire,' where...

I've noticed an issue with my Facebook Fan Page that doesn't seem to compute. If I post something with a picture or a link/picture combo on my Facebook fan page, less than 300 of the...

Mobile is the story of 2013. This year, the industry will ship five billion mobile chipsets. By 2015, there will be three billion people connected to the Internet and, according to Cisco, over 15 billion connected devices. What does it all mean? Come with me to Mobile World Congress...

Remember "liking" a group on Facebook called, "Big Booty Rules?" You will... when someone uses Graph Search to find it... and you.

The biggest news in the tech world last week was Graph Search: Facebook's first true attempt at search. It's an "inside baseball" name for a very interesting...

Lots of people are asking me what's on my wish list this holiday season. For me, the list is pretty modest: I'd like a Tesla Model S electric touring sedan. You'd like one too - they are simply awesome! But, since that's not in the cards, here are the...

Microsoft's Bing team recently posted a short piece entitled, "The Choice is Clear, Don't Get Scroogled this Year." Here's the important part:

"We launched the "Scroogled" campaign to educate average people about what Google has done with their shopping site. Instead of showing you the most relevant shopping search results...

As I say, way too often, "If you want an iDevice, nothing else will do." This is absolutely true about the iPad Mini. If you want one, just go buy it. Nothing else will do -- not the Nexus 7, not the Kindle Fire HD, not the Samsung Galaxy Tab......

Microsoft's Surface tablet debuted on Friday. It's going to run Microsoft's new Windows 8 operating system and Microsoft is making a big deal out of it. Is the Surface a Tablet or a Laptop? Perhaps it's somewhere in the middle. Will you love it or hate it? So much depends...

It's Advertising Week here in New York and I've been listening to presentation after presentation about the new, new thing... local advertising. So, here is an excerpt from my upcoming book, Digital Leadership: How to Succeed in a Connected World, about the complete myth of local advertising.

June 2015 - Dateline Cupertino, CA - In a somewhat anticipated, kind of lackluster presentation that felt old and threadbare, Apple announced the debut of the iPhone 7 today to tepid applause and few accolades.

The 4G LTE smartphone runs iOS 9 and features a 12 megapixel rear-facing camera and...

Right now there are two kinds of people and two kinds of devices: connected and not connected. This may sound obvious or trivial; I assure you it is not. Contrary to popular belief, all people below the age of 25 are not "connected" and all people over the age of...

I was thinking about a juice cleanse -- everyone is doing them; they are all the rage. Of course, my doctor talked me out of it. He told me that my liver was healthy and that was its job. He went on to emphatically state that there was no truth...

While he was in Paris in March of 1789, Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter to Francis Hopkinson that scholars have aptly named, "Neither Federalist Nor Antifederalist." In it, Jefferson writes:

I am not a Federalist, because I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any...

The first round of the Apple v. Samsung lawsuit is over and Apple has emerged victorious. In case you haven't been following it, Apple sued Samsung for $2.5 billion for infringing on seven of its patents. Samsung countersued for approximately $400 million because it needed to...

Everyone seems to want to talk about how social media is impacting NBC's Olympic coverage. "Look at the velocity of tweets!" "Look at the ratings!" "Twitter must be helping raise awareness and therefore impacting ratings." "Social media is the secret to saving appointment television viewing!"

Maybe, but I don't think...

A few weeks ago, while cruising the highways of Southern California in the Ford Mustang GT500 I rented from Hertz, I was forced to skip two unmanned tollbooths. As crimes and misdemeanors go, this loathsome act probably would not have landed me on the "most wanted tollbooth skipper" list. But...

Last month 6.5 million LinkedIn passwords showed up on a Russian website. Very recently, 450,000-plus Yahoo! usernames and passwords were published by a hacker group called D33Ds. On one hand, you want to think that Yahoo! is on top of its own cyber-security. On the other...

There are several different ways to study the nature of matter, but one of the most fun is to smash very tiny particles into each other at extraordinary speeds and see what happens.

This is what they do at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) one of the largest,...

At 3:30 p.m. last Friday, while driving back to Los Angeles from Foothill Ranch, California, I needed to take Route 241. Sadly for me, the blue Mustang 500GT I rented from Hertz did not come with a GPS system. And, wanting to keep my eyes on the road and my...
