28.02.2007Intel confident of appeal win in EU anti-trust case
Intel President Paul Otellini has said the company is confident of winning its appeal against the record $1.45 billion fine which was imposed by
EU anti-trust regulators in May this year. Speaking to the BBC following his keynote address at the company's annual developer forum, Mr Otellini
said, "I can't wait to get our side of the story out in the public. I continue to believe and assert they (the European Commission) have got it
wrong. We have appealed and we will win on appeal." AMD first complained about Intel's business practices in 2000, but it wasn't until
high-profile raids were conducted on Intel offices in July 2007 that the company was charged with breaching competition rules.

31.07.2007MP3 Blogs Offer File Sharing Even the RIAA Could Love
Although the term "file sharing" has all sorts of ugly connotations, it's not necessarily a bad thing. In some cases, it's even a win-win-win
situation for the recording industry, music lovers -- and Google.
There are countless MP3 file-sharing sites that don't look
anything like BitTorrent or Lime Wire. They're low-key, homegrown blogs that don't host illicitly copied music, but do provide links to third-party
sites, or storage lockers, such as
Megashare, where pirated music is stored. These
bloggers do it for the love of the music, they say, but it doesn't hurt that they make a little money from advertising along the way.

04.12.2007Crudebox to Prudebox: from App Store lose to App Store win
Alkali Media have found that a few software tweaks and a name change are all that are needed to get their software, initially rejected as
"objectionable" to accepted as perfectly "acceptable". The software produces sounds that some might find objectionable. But, when the company
re-submitted their App, it became clear to them what a difference a name can make, along with a few design tweaks (including "a pink bunny and a
fleeting sunset")!

28.04.2009Windows 7 RC completed, build 7100
Company insiders and Wzor have confirmed that 7100 is the official Windows 7 RC build. 7100.0.winmain_win7rc.090421-1700 was compiled on Tuesday and
has reportedly been handed out to OEM partners and TAP gold customers. Earlier this month we reported that build 7077 had leaked online and that
Microsoft were pushing towards a 7100 RC release. Microsoft recently published details about a public RC due for May 5th. We expect MSDN/TechNet
customers to receive the bits within the next week if the company is still targeting May 5th. According to reports, 7115.0.winmain.090421-1650 is the
latest build internally at the time of writing.

23.04.2009Microsoft targets Oracle licensing to win customers
The forthcoming launch of SQL Server 2008 will see Microsoft focus its considerable resources on the issue of licensing, to win customers from rivals
Oracle and IBM.
Speaking to ZDNet Australia's Sister site ZDNet.co.uk, Microsoft's UK marketing director for databases, Matt
Dunstan (pictured), said: "Our challenge, now we have picked off a lot of the low-hanging fruit, is to attack the traditional Oracle
strongholds."
Dunstan, who is in charge of the battle with Oracle and IBM, said Microsoft will exploit weaknesses it sees in
Oracle's licensing and treatment of its customers. It is a bold strategy from a company that has itself frequently been pilloried for its licensing
policies, but Dunstan clearly thinks Oracle's licensing is a weak spot.

11.02.2007Bing aiming to win this Christmas
The holiday season is nearly upon us and Microsoft has signaled it wants to be the search engine for Christmas this year. A new commercial, released
earlier this week and spotted first by the folks at LiveSide, highlights the familiar "search overload syndrome" that Microsoft referred to in its
first Bing commercials in June when Bing officially launched to the world. Since the launch of Bing, Microsoft has managed to snatch 10.7% market
share with 1.1 billion searches in August alone. The advert has a holiday season feel as a young child visits Santa to explain his wish list for
Christmas.
