I recently installed (approx. a month ago) Firefox version 60 (now updated to 61) on MacOS in the hope of further strengthening my « Gexit » (Google Exit). Google is a company I do not trust anymore, for various philosophical, ethical and practical reasons, so stopping using their products is a priority

Outcries of disgust, rants, complaints about privacy invasion/loss of privacy, individuals threatening to leave the service,

I recently had the opportunity to attend a technology briefing from Uila, a company that works in the IT Monitoring space. This is a briefing I took up with great interest since colleagues and friends in the community had been talking (and writing) highly of them after they had presented
Today Ravello announced that their nested virtualization solution, widely known and acclaimed by VMware technologists, is now available as a bare metal service on Oracle Cloud.

As you know I was invited at HPE Discover in November 2016 and at the time my vision of things for HPE wasn’t exactly idyllic. Yes, the innovations in the 3PAR line were great, but there was nothing unique going on. The Machine, a great scientific project, looked to me
The more I’ve been working in IT, the more I’ve seen security disasters and the more I’ve become self-conscious about privacy and security. One of the largest pieces of our digital presence are our e-mail addresses. I’ve wanted to secure my e-mails and my privacy for a long time but the hassle of going
