Will 2004 Bring Back Tech Spending?

Will 2004 Bring Back Tech Spending? 12/23/2003 12:57 PM
In talking to people around Silicon Valley, the feeling is clearly that the tech industry is picking up again. People are having a much easier time finding jobs, companies actually seem willing to spend on technology, and plenty of new startups are finding it easier to raise money. It's not a huge change, and there are still some sectors that are struggling, but the overall feeling is one of optimism. So, Business Week is taking a look at whether or not 2004 will really be the year that tech comes back. They quote a bunch of studies, that basically are cautiously optimistic for a variety of reasons. They all say, however, that tech spending will be much more careful and directed - with the focus being on smaller purchases, not larger ones. The thing that I've noticed is that many companies realized in the third and fourth quarters that things were picking up, but were limited in spending due to overall 2003 budgets that were set a year ago. In some areas they could bump up these budgets on a quarterly basis, but not enough to make a huge difference. However, in the last couple of months, as everyone has been setting their 2004 budgets, they're making them a lot bigger to account for the economic uptick. So, it sounds as though there may be a lot of pent up demand that is finally let loose early next year.

When Is Tech Spending a Bad Idea?

When Is Tech Spending a Bad Idea? 09/24/2004 01:37 PM
Not expecting a rush of IT spending during the last three months of 2004, Hewlett-Packard Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Carly Fiorina said this week that IT buyers have become smarter and more discriminating in their IT purchasing than they were just five years ago, and that they now realize that technology spending can sometimes be a "bad thing." Speaking to a room full of financial analysts at the Banc of America Securities Investment Conference in San Francisco, Fiorina dismissed the idea that corporate budget surpluses would drive an IT spending increase in the fourth quarter of 2004.

"For each of the last three years and certainly this year as well, there's been a lot of talk that we're going to see a fourth quarter budget flush," she said. "I just don't see it happening."

An update to the earlier story we had on a schoo ls being raided by the FBI for sharing music files, here's the news on a larger FBI operation to shut down a larger software, music and movies warez group. This makes more sense than just going after file sharing, but it still makes you wonder. There is this huge terrorist threat thing going on right now, and you would think that it might make more sense for the FBI to protect us from being blown up than to worry about people sharing music files that they can probably get on file sharing networks anyway.

There's a widespread belief that BitTorrent is used almost exclusively for warez, probably a perception of people who themselves use it almost exclusively for warez, but that impression is simply untrue."

Cellphone Warez Has Hidden SMS Dialer

Cellphone Warez Has Hidden SMS Dialer 08/09/2004 09:46 AM

A cracked version of the popular "Mosquito v2.0" game for Symbian phones has turned out to include a special trojan payload: a dialer that sends a text message to the UK number 87140 with a charge of £1.50 (about $2.75) a pop. So yeah, that sucks, but you shouldn't be downloading phone warez, either.

Fortunately, if you're one of the unlucky ones who has been stung by the malware, removing it appears to be as simple as deleting the offending file. And while this is notable, and a little bit scary, maybe it should be a sign to mobile OS developers to start locking down the dialing functions of their phones a little more securely?
