Opinion: Scientists hollow out fiber-optic cables, make data travel at near-light speed

As it stands now, fiber optic cables provide the fastest broadband Internet to homes. I would know. I flipped out when it increased my regular Internet speeds by 15 times.
Opinion: Ending Reply All annoyances

A reader who doesn't wish to provide his name (for reasons that soon will become apparent) has a problem with office etiquette. He writes:
Opinion: New York surveillance drones are inbound (and other stuff you missed)

Bioshock Infinite is finally here! If you're waiting in a real-life line for your copy or for it to download to your computer, GeekBytes is the source of news stories that you might have missed while you wait for game releases--or at least it's mine, anyway.
Opinion: Linux group hits Microsoft with complaint over 'Secure Boot'

It's long been clear that Linux users are more than a little unhappy with the "Secure Boot" technology implemented by default in Windows 8 hardware, but in Spain, one group has decided to do more than simply try to work around it.

Opinion: Does Big Data Spell the End of Business Intelligence As We Know It?

Traditional BI requires human input to decide what correlated factors to query. As predictive data analytics gets increasingly powerful, the algorithms do the deciding. That spells the end of BI as CIO.com columnist Bernard Golden knows it--and he doesn't feel fine about it.
Opinion: How to get all A's at school with Raspberry Pi (and other stuff you missed)

At school, whenever I got a big project to work on at home to present in class, I'd spend days trying to think up how to make everyone else's work look drab. Sometimes this worked out, but after seeing this father-daughter Raspberry Pi poster project, looks like I got a taste of my own medicine.
Opinion: App Spotlight: KiteDesk aggregates your cloud accounts and social media

Gmail. Dropbox. Facebook. Twitter. If you're like many busy business folks, you're frequently bopping back and forth between these and other cloud/social-media services. And if you have multiple accounts for any of them, the hassles only increase.

Reader Dave Eng can't seem to broadcast his mug over the Internet. He writes:
Opinion: How to sync files and folders across two PCs

Sasdas asked the Desktops forum for ways to keep the same folder synced on two PCs, so that changes on one computer show up on the other.
Opinion: Reduce tab clutter in Chrome with OneTab

I don't know about you, but I keep a lot of tabs open in my Web browser (Google Chrome). For me it's work thing: I'm constantly opening new tabs while I research various topics I plan to write about during the day (or even the days to come).
Opinion: Zombieland pilot, 12 others due to shamble onto Amazon

The pay video content space is going increasingly crazypants as platforms become content creators and creators become platforms. And in that vein, onetime online bookstore Amazon has announced that it will be bringing a TV series based on the cult horror-comedy-angsty flick Zombieland to its Amazon Prime Instant Video service.
Opinion: Key sounds: Get better sound for your home entertainment

Whereas most consumer technology becomes impossibly slimmer and smaller with each new generation, the rules of physics demand decent-size speaker cones should you want to achieve the best sound. But rules were meant to be broken, and you can get 'good enough' sound from a smaller, more stylish solution.

Opinion: New TV seasons and surprising continuations

This week, I look at some shows that mostly got unexpected second lives, whether from rebooting, lasting longer than expected, or coming back in a different form.
Opinion: This Internet Life: EA drops its CEO and Reddit loves safes

There are many things on the Internet that people dedicate their attention to, be it a company executive that the entire video game community loves to hate, the contents of a safe in New Zealand, or the occasional spark of creativity when making an animated gif.
Opinion: Tech Trek: Long Beach, California

I have a confession to make at the outset: I used to live in Long Beach. Many readers expect travel columns to reflect the writer's experience as a visitor to a new place every time. Because I've lived in a lot of places--nearly two dozen different cities--the chances of my returning to a place where I used to live is a little higher than for most people. Anyway, I lived in the LBC for less than a year, so I'm hardly a native of the place.
Opinion: Meet Zoe, a virtual talking head that can express emotions

Even with all our emojis and emoticons, a typed message will never carry the same sort of emotion as a face-to-face conversation. Sure video calls have gotten a lot easier these days between FaceTime and Skype calls, but who makes calls anymore?

Porcupins asked the Antivirus & Security Software forum if encryption standards like AES really make your data secure.
Opinion: Remains of the Day: Digital wrongs management

One patent-holding firm says it will see Apple in court. Elsewhere, people continue to pontificate on Apple's newest hire, and Walmart takes a page from Apple's playbook--and uses Apple's devices to do it. The remainders for Wednesday, March 20, 2013 are available where all fine goods are sold.
