Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Well known in the both the wine world and the world of horses, businesswomen Barbara Banke and Peggy Furth hardly seem like the type of people who need to add another line to their already impressive resumes. However, after partnering on two previous ventures, WholeVine and Vine To Bar Chocolate , the two joined forces to create WindRacer Wines , a small-batch, luxury Chardonnay and Pinot Noir brand using grapes from “extreme” viticulture sites in California. Their first joint enterprise, WholeVine, focuses on the “full cycle of sustainability,” utilizing cast off products from the winemaking process such as grape skins and seeds in a variety of food items.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin I like to think that I have a knack for identifying companies making waves in specific technology areas. One such company is IBM with cloud technology. Yes, IBM making waves with cloud technologies. I have written several articles tracking the progress and evolution of the IBM Cloud offering. When I attach the Red Hat acquisition and the industry's transition to hybrid, the real magic could happen. I believe IBM needs to get there, get there fast, and tell everybody about it at the top of its lungs about why it’s the better cloud for certain circumstances. Recently I was fortunate to speak with IBM’s hybrid cloud leader, Howard Boville (Senior Vice President of IBM Hybrid Cloud), to hear his thoughts on the evolution of IBM Cloud, which he refers to as "cloud chapter 2". Howard has a unique perspective as a former end customer in a highly regulated industry, running IT for Bank of America, and now a vendor, leading IBM's …

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin On the surface, it’s hard to believe that people who were paying around $10,000 per year to fly free on private jets that normally cost up to $18,000 per hour - sometimes having the entire aircraft to themselves - can be as upset as these folks are. They’re filing lawsuits or threatening to file, or just blowing off steam on Yelp, Telegram, Flyertalk and directly to the company.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin During the pandemic, Michelle Edgar — a music executive who had never been an athlete, and never been a runner, put on jogging shoes and began, in her own words, running for her life. What brought her to the track is an extraordinary story. And the journey culminates tomorrow — below is her surprising and inspiring story. Dina Kaplan: Michelle, I know you are a music executive, and you run an organization called the XX Project that supports women in media and business, but I never thought of you as a star athlete. How did all this come about?

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin In 2005, long before he was France’s most-celebrated tech billionaire, Xavier Niel launched dl.free.fr to allow internet users to send large files online, a solution to the problem of email attachment file size constraints at the time. The hosting service was just one of the many ways that Neil’s company Free, an emerging home internet provider, appealed to the web denizens of the age, the emerging Napster-generation of internet users in France. Some 16-years later, by mid June 2021, the hosting service had been adopted by another set of internet users. In an online chatroom, hidden on the dark web, those responsible for uploading thousands of files of alleged child sexual imagery discussed the changes made to Free’s hosting service, which they had been using for sharing illegal, pornographic material. “When you reup,” one user says of the “links” posted to downloadable material online, “please select a different host. …
