11.06.2009Boxed copies of Money Plus to stop being sold
Microsoft has decided against releasing a 2009 version of Money Plus, its personal-finance-management software. The company also is planning to
discontinue selling Money Plus as a boxed software product at retail but insisted the move shouldn't be interpreted as an immediate move away from
shrink-wrapped PC software.
Microsoft had been releasing each year a new version of its
Money Plus product. A new version was due out this fall, in fact. But
according to a blog posting on August 6 to the public Microsoft Money forum by Most Valuable Professional Bob Peel, Microsoft feels annual updates
with only incremental improvements are no longer needed.

the BitTorrent community, has the goal of “ bringing new people into the leagues of those now prepared to think 'after intellectual
property', think creatively about the future of distribution, production and creativity .” For those still confused, Steal This Film is a
series documenting the movement against intellectual property. The films discuss piracy culture as well as raids against file sharing websites. In the
spirit of piracy, the movie is completely free for download.

12.08.2008Microsoft says college students can 'steal' Office
For college students who want Office 2007, but don't want to pay Microsoft a fortune, the software maker is offering another option: Steal it. Well,
actually Microsoft isn't encouraging piracy. Rather it is launching a promotion, dubbed "Ultimate Steal," in which college students can get the
ultra high-end Ultimate edition of Office for just $60.
The promotion runs through April 30 and starts Wednesday in Canada, the United
Kingdom and the United States. It launches next week in France, Italy and Spain. To be eligible, Microsoft said students have to be "actively
enrolled" in a higher education program and have an e-mail address from that school.
"We're listening to students who have told us they
need Microsoft Office for their studies and want more flexible ways to get the latest version," Alan Yates, general manager of Worldwide Education at
Microsoft, said in a statement. "The Ultimate Steal is the latest in a long history of providing compelling academic offers for students."

13.09.2007New bill lets colleges use federal funds to fight P2P
Representative Ric Keller
feels that colleges in America
are places where students
learn to steal " billions
of dollars in intellectual
property from hardworking
people whose jobs hang in the
balance " and his new bill
(HR 1689) could give schools
more money to combat P2P. The
bill, called the "Curb
Illegal Downloading on College
Campuses Act of 2007," amends
the Higher Education Act, a
bill that supplies federal
money to universities for
bandwidth costs and to keep
networks more secure, allowing
that money (note: not any
additional funding is being
requested) to be used to
combat illegal downloading of
copyrighted content. The bill
notes that " computer
systems at colleges and
universities are intended
primarily to aid in educating
and increase research
capability among students and
faculty ."
There's no guarantee that
the bill will make it to a
vote, but even if it makes it
through all the political
obstacles, it isn't clear if
schools would be interested in
using a limited pool of
federal money to police
student file-swapping. It has
already been shunted to the
House Committee on Education
and Labor, and might languish
there until the end of this
Congressional term except for
the fact that the HEA, which
expires this summer, needs to
be reauthorized.

03.12.2005Security gurus look for better ways to classify malware
Two senior security veterans from Trend Micro are trying to get the industry to change how it classifies malicious software.
They
argue that today's classification system, which tends to focus on the technical way the software works, neglects a far more important metric that
matters more to users: how it tries to steal your money.
"This is my pet bug-a-boo -- the unclear language," said David Perry,
global director for education at Trend. "I come from 26 years of technical support, and it irks me that we protect people against things and they
don't know what we're protecting them against."
Perry and Anthony Arrott will present their paper, "New approaches to
categorizing economically motivated digital threats," on Friday at a security conference in Vienna.
Take the term "virus." The
proper definition of virus is a piece of software that replicates or makes copies of itself and attaches itself to other pieces of software. ..

11.12.2008Report: Apple and Google agree not to steal workers
According to sources speaking with TechCrunch, Apple and Google agreed not to "cold hire" each other's employees. The agreement was apparently
in place during Eric Schmidt's recent tenure on the Apple board of directors but may or may not still be enforced by the two companies. The report
also states that the agreement was not an official written policy but was followed by both companies. The agreement specifically prevented Apple or
Google from directly recruiting employees from the opposing company. A worker was however free to apply themselves. This agreement was apparently in
place because of loose California non-compete enforcement.
