The gas market fluctuates frequently, as any driver knows. The reasons for these fluctuations are complex, as they involve everything from high demand during the holidays to the need for cleaner burning (and more expensive) summer-grade fuel, mandated by regulation. Natural disasters, adverse weather and conflicts such as war in an oil-producing region can also bring up the price of gasoline.

The data is too big, moves too fast, or doesn’t fit the strictures of your database architectures. To gain value from this data, you must choose an alternative way to process it. Big data is data that exceeds the processing capacity of conventional database systems. The hot IT buzzword of 2013, big data has become viable as cost-effective approaches have emerged to tame the volume, velocity

IBM has banned employees from using Dropbox and Apple's iCloud at work as it claws back permission to use third-party cloud services. The rethink has also resulted in a edict against the iPhone 4S's Siri voice recognition technology at Big Blue.

Last August, Google  Chief Executive Officer Larry Page fulfilled a pledge made to one of his senior executives, a square-jawed former attorney named Dennis Woodside.

The union budget is around the curve and there's talk of a cess on diesel cars by a certain section in the power corridors of New Delhi. The cess could either be a percentage of the value of the car or a flat charge, something to the tune of Rs 80,000 if we have to go by what the press is brandishing about. If indeed this is true, then it could pretty much turn the whole argument in favour

Blogger sites can now be blocked on a "per country" basis after a change to its web address system. Google will now be able to block access in individual countries following a legal removal request.

In a New York Times op-ed, father of the internet, Vint Cerf, argued that access to the internet is not and should not be made a human right. He’s right.
