Graffiti? There's an app for that. The old-school practice of American graffiti may have met its match in some high-tech programs designed to report and remove the blight from city and private property. In the past five years, counterfeit computer chips, routers, and other electronic products have become an epidemic, with fake gear costing the IT industry an estimated $100 billion a year. The recovery is losing steam, with the U.S. economy growing at half the brisk 5.9 percent pace at which the government estimated it grew last quarter. Was the year-end growth spurt a one-hit wonder? Buy a new Win 7 computer, and you'll likely be in for some surprises -- both pleasant and unpleasant. On the unpleasant side will be the many applications PC makers preinstall on their computers. A rash of new laptops set for display at the CeBIT computing trade show underlines the growing shift in the market to tinier machines with fancier features such as 3-D graphics and touch screens.   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   Cybercriminals Steal Virtual Objects   Get Rid of Graffiti with Your iPhone Fighting Flood of Bogus Tech Products Counterfeit gear is now an 'epidemic.'   FULL STORY Recession Recovery: One-Hit Wonder Growth slows after year-end spurt.   FULL STORY Remove 'Bloatware' from a Win 7 PC Less is more sometimes in computing.   FULL STORY Tiny Laptops Offer Fancy Features Like touch screens and 3-D graphics.   FULL STORY Enterprise I.T.
