Picture this – or rather, don’t

At first blush the recent move by Adobe to prevent Photoshop users from copying money seems well intentioned. But Scott Bradner this week lays out the reasons why Adobe may have made a big mistake. And Mark Gibbs is shocked at what Adobe may have done to its own code in the process.

Maybe they should call it AI&T

If “American Telephone and Telegraph” isn’t doing telegraphy, and telephony is starting to wane, what does that leave for AT&T? Tom Nolle poses – and answers – that question in this week’s Reality Check. Hint: It’s all about IP, but not about convergence.

How things have changed in 20 years

Speaking of AT&T, Packet Evangelist Steve Taylor this week checks how its divestiture 20 years ago has affected wide area networking. Taylor zooms in on frame relay in the 1990s for an example of how the divestiture was a good thing.

Cool electronics

Keith Shaw has a knack for finding cool things. In his Cool Tools column, Shaw brings you the best of the best from the Consumer Electronics Show last week. But it’s not like he found a time machine or anything.
