Linus Torvalds speaks out against EU patent law
Usage rating

Linux creator Linus Torvalds has made an appeal to the EU Council to oppose the adoption of the Directive on the Patentability of Computer-Implemented Inventions, known as the software patent directive. In a statement published on an anti-patent Web site (http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com), Linus Torvalds, MySQL co-founder Michael Widenius and PHP creator Rasmus Lerdorf, said that software patents must not be legalised. "In the interest of Europe, such a deceptive, dangerous and democratically illegitimate proposal must not become the Common Position of...

Does anybody like Norton AntiVirus?
Usage rating

Has anybody had a good experience with Symantec's Norton Antivirus? Whenever I have written about Symantec's flagship consumer antivirus application, the response from readers is always the same. Hordes of Symantec's customers write in complaining that Norton AntiVirus (NAV) sucks up their system resources, doesn't clean their computer thoroughly and when they finally decide to ditch the program altogether, they first need to download a special un-installation tool from Symantec's Web site.

Usage rating

The Global ATM Security Alliance (GASA) (www.globalasa.com) has published its international best practices for ATM Cyber Security as the ATM industry enters its cyber era, due to the twin migrations from X25 & frame relay to TCP/IP and from OS/2 to Windows XP.

Microsoft says IE updates possible
Usage rating

Microsoft, under pressure to add new features to Internet Explorer, said it might do so by way of the browser's add-on mechanism. The company has been steadfast in its insistence that it won't issue a new standalone IE, which saw its last major upgrade in August 2001. After sustaining a series of security crises with IE, Microsoft issued a major upgrade with the Windows XP Service Pack 2. But that IE update is available only to people who use Windows...

Dear IE, I
Usage rating

Dear Internet Explorer: It's over. Our relationship just hasn't been working for a while, and now, this is it. I'm leaving you for another browser. I know this isn't a good time - you're down with yet another virus. I do hope you feel better soon - really, I do - but I, too, have to move on with my life. Fact is, in the entire time I've known you, you seem to always have a virus or an occasional...

Boy sues mom who refuses to buy him a PC
Usage rating

We used a lot of ploys to try and get our parents to buy us stuff when we were younger (you don’t even want to know what we did to score an original Nintendo Entertainment System), but an 11-year-old in central China has raised the bar for gadget-hungry kids everywhere by suing his mother after she backed out of an agreement to buy him a computer if he got good enough grades. According to the China Daily, the mother told...
