iPhone Security Hole Could Expose Data
Autor admin | 28.08.2008 | Category SEO
NEW YORK — A security flaw in Apple’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone allows unauthorized users to gain easy access to private contacts and e-mails even when the device is locked, but the company said a fix is on the way.
Popular technology blog Gizmodo and an online forum run by the Mac Rumors site showed that it took only three taps to gain access to locked iPhones, which run the latest 2.02 iPhone software.
A spokeswoman said in an e-mail that Apple was aware of the problem and was readying a software update to fix it. In the meantime, she recommended users set the iPhone’s “Home” button to open up the phone’s iPod music collection rather than the phone’s “Favorites” menu.

Enterprises Looking to the Clouds, Dell Says
Autor admin | 28.08.2008 | Category SEO
SAN FRANCISCO — As more enterprises incorporate cloud computing (define) into their IT infrastructure, the number of clouds will proliferate, and there will be “thousands of clouds deployed out in the world,” Dell executive Forrest Norrod said at a press briefing here this week.
Many will be owned by enterprises on their premises, and others will be offered by smaller cloud service providers, “in the thousands or tens of thousands of servers, not millions,” said Norrod, vice president of Dell’s data center solutions division. These will be deployed in specialty services or for customers that have regulatory, privacy or other concerns, he added..

Weak Economy Could Sap Handset Growth
Autor admin | 28.08.2008 | Category SEO
HELSINKI — A weakening global economy will blunt cellphone market sales growth this year, research firm Gartner said on Wednesday.
Gartner said it expects market growth to slow to 11 percent from 16 percent last year, while in U.S. dollar terms growth would slow to 9 percent from 11 percent.
The world’s top cellphone maker Nokia (NYSE: NOK) has forecast the market will fall this year in euro terms.
The euro reached record highs above 1.60 against the U.S. dollar earlier this year, but was trading at 1.475 dollars on Wednesday, roughly the level where it started 2008.
“We are starting to see impact of the economy,” said Gartner analyst Carolina Milanesi, adding increased competition and the weaker economy would also hurt average selling prices.

Judge Throws Out Copyright Infringement Suit Against Online Video Site Veoh
A California federal court judge, Judge Howard Lloyd, has thrown out a copyright infringement suit against online video site Veoh. The suit was brought by adult entertainment company IO Group.
The judge’s reasoning was that Veoh is protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s (DMCA) safe harbor provisions. Since Veoh takes quick action in light of copyright issues, they are not acting illegally.
“Veoh has a strong DMCA policy, takes active steps to limit incidents of infringement on its website and works diligently to keep unauthorized works off its site,” wrote Judge Lloyd.

Get Links Now: Make a Difference, Make Connections
Autor admin | 28.08.2008 | Category SEO
As I make my way through business every day, I continually ask myself “why.” Why do we grow? Why do we want more money? Why do we bother? Societies have tried to answer that question with various economic systems and constructs.
Capitalism is exhausting. It’s an ever-consuming mouth with an insatiable appetite for anything it can digest into money. Communism probably seemed like a more advanced social structure because it answered the “why” better than capitalism. The concept of communism was equality. If we all work together, we’ll all be better for it. Now we know that individual self-interest and self-preservation makes that concept impossible.
