“The court’s order grants Viacom’s request and erroneously ignores the protections of the federal Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), and threatens to expose deeply private information about what videos are watched by YouTube users. The VPPA passed after a newspaper disclosed Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork’s video rental records. As Congress recognized, your selection of videos to watch is deeply personal and deserves the strongest protection.”

“Malicious programs have used PsExec for more than five years, said the software’s creator, Mark Russinovich, a Microsoft technical fellow. However, this is the first time he had heard of it being used in this fashion. “PsExec doesn’t expose anything that a malware author can’t code themselves or even accomplish with alternate mechanisms,” he said in an e-mail interview. “Once you have credentials that give you local admin rights via remote access, you own that system.””

““IBM has just announced it is Platform Solutions, Inc. (PSI), its small but most significant competitor. PSI is/was a small mainframe manufacturer that had sued IBM over the same anticompetitive practices in Europe and New York. The Computer & Communications Industry Association sees this as a clear attempt by IBM to purchase a company solely to foreclose competition in the mainframe marketplace, protecting IBM’s cash cow at the expense of consumers. This acquisition should be a cause of concern for competition authorities throughout the world.””

“Il decreto consente di usare il prestito come patrimonio per coprire le perdite. Di conseguenza, il cda presieduto da Aristide Police ha dichiarato che i debiti finanziari del gruppo al 31 maggio sono scesi a 1.121 milioni rispetto a 1.358 di aprile: se non si vuol considerare questa interpretazione come sintomo di anarchia contabile, è un’ammissione che lo Stato ha fatto un’iniezione di capitale.”
