Still at It

Still at It

McAfee CIO: ‘Embrace the change’

By Michael Krigsman on August 22, 2014

It’s a cliché to say that IT and the CIO role are undergoing a significant shift. Many studies andresearch provide evidence that people outside IT expect greater responsiveness to business needs.

Setting Goals and Rewards

Setting Goals and Rewards

By Denis Pombriant on April 10, 2014

You should check out “The Second Machine Age” by Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee of MIT.  It’s a thoughtful analysis of the technology progression handed to us by Moore’s Law and its effect on every aspect of our lives.  Their thesis is pretty simple but also powerful. Early in the computer age, we developed transactional […]

Race Against the Machine

By Denis Pombriant on April 3, 2013

Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee of the MIT Center for Digital Business and the Sloan School of Management have written an interesting book for our times — our economic times — with an appealing metaphor that any technologist will appreciate.

Intel & McAfee?  Why Not GOOG & ADBE?

Intel & McAfee? Why Not GOOG & ADBE?

By Bob Warfield on August 19, 2010

I don’t get the whole Intel buying McAfee thing.  Sure, security looks like a good business.  But Intel is a chip company.  Yeah, microprocessors are mostly software down under, but that doesn’t mean Intel has the soul of a software company. Call me Old Fashioned, but I’m in the camp of thinking there needs to […]

Malware is a cloud-scale problem

Malware is a cloud-scale problem
