There are times when, after spending hours testing one antispyware utility after another, I dream of the perfect testing lab, where dozens of intense young men and women clad in crisp white lab coats capture and dissect every variety of spyware. Using rows and rows of secured test computers, they torture-test antispyware programs to determine whether the apps actually remove the sample threats they unleash and—better yet—whether they can keep the darn things off a clean system.The reality isn't quite as glamorous. I'm my own lab "staff," and my...

Why EMR so expensive ?
Many doctors ask: Why is EMR so expensive? This question as it appears can seem simple in nature. While exploring this topic, you can find so many variations in the EMR products' features and functions. In most cases, a large or majority of the total cost of an EMR is in the training and implementation services, not in the software. But in many cases products will include more features than one needs or the manufacturer of the product is generally focused on larger sized groups making it more expensive for smaller ones. Additionally, as a practice,...

Software patents – Obstacles to software development (Part 3)
So that is the possibility of licensing a patent which may or may not be possible and you may or may not be able to afford it. 3) Overturning a patent in court Supposedly, in order to be patented, something has to be new, useful and unobvious. That is the language used in the US. I think other countries have different language which is pretty much equivalent to it. Of course, when the patent office gets into the game, they start interpreting new and unobvious. New turns out to mean we don't have it in our files and unobvious tends to mean unobvious...

Overcome Your URL Aftermath - Drive More Internet Profits To Your Site
Most article marketer's know the value of article marketing, but few really know why or how to get the most out of their article submissions. The reason is because of the many false ideas in the marketplace regarding article marketing. So let me set the record straight on at least one of the biggest false assumptions. Many article marketers fall prey into believing that one article published in many sites, ezines, and newsletters will benefit them by bringing in lots of traffic. Well, basically this idea is really only partially correct. Yes it...

What do you mean by Free Software?
In this time, many people new to free software find themselves confused because the word "free" in the term "free software" is not used the way they expect. To them free means "at no cost". An English dictionary lists almost twenty different meanings for "free". Only one of them is "at no cost". The rest refer to liberty and lack of constraint. When we speak of Free Software, we mean freedom, not price. Software that is free only in the sense that you don't need to pay to use it is hardly free at all. You may be forbidden to pass it on, and you...

Using free software to unlock your iPod's potential
While iTunes is a powerful software, it does have its limitations, mostly stemming from both Digital Rights Management (DRM) restrictions and the Recording Industry Association of America’s (RIAA) interest in preventing unauthorized copying of music, regardless of fair use and personal flexibility. The free software community believes that the ability to freely copy content you own between your iPod and a computer is a right, not a privilege. In this article, I’ll discuss how to fully manage the content on your iPod using completely free software....

This news come from McCabe Software.McCabe Software has taken another step toward end-to-end software configuration management with the release of TRUEchange 3.4.
