A large-scale denial-of-service (DOS) attack was directed towards sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Live Journal, Blogger, and YouTube.  The attack on Twitter was probably the most noticeable yesterday with an outage of several hours and other hiccups throughout the day. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/08/attacks-shut-down-twitter-other-sites Fri, 07 Aug 2009 09:55:13 -0400 Anyone who has watched TV over the past couple of months has undoubtedly seen a Bing commercial.  Microsoft is putting a lot of effort into marketing its new search engine, and these advertisements are touting a great product. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/08/bing-new-chapter-microsoft-vs-google Wed, 05 Aug 2009 11:50:29 -0400 Rumors have abounded for years on blogs and online forums about a Google operating system.  Those rumors became a reality last night with the announcement of Google Chrome OS. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/07/google-announces-long-awaited-operating-system Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:43:26 -0400 It has been over a week since Michael Jackson’s death, and reports show that the Internet was widely used as a source of information when the news broke last Thursday.  So much so, that some websites struggled to keep up with demand, and Google thought their servers were being attacked with a sudden surge in search requests. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/07/internet-usage-spikes-aftermath-jackson%E2%80%99s-death Fri, 03 Jul 2009 08:17:11 -0400 In today’s press, the iPhone has all but become the face of Apple.  However, several notable announcements about Mac computers and Mac OS X were made at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco on Monday. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/06/iphone%E2%80%99s-shadow-apple-previews-new-version-mac-os-x Wed, 10 Jun 2009 12:20:45 -0400 Reports today indicate that most (if not all) Google services were suffering from world-wide outages today for about an hour shortly after noon. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/05/google-suffers-worldwide-outages Thu, 14 May 2009 16:02:20 -0400 Among the variety of online services and electronic devices aimed at making people more organized and less forgetful, ReQall stands outs as a particularly useful service.
