Opposition to a new security database is gaining momentum in France as people return to work after a summer break during which the government authorized the state to store personal information on people as young as 13. The decree creating the "Edvige" electronic database appeared in the official gazette on July 1, when the country was winding down for the summer, but news of its content has been gradually filtering out and is now stirring fierce criticism.

Netbooks—tiny, lightweight subnotebooks—may one day be subsidized by mobile carriers in order to sell them alongside high-speed 3G service. That's what Dell CEO Michael Dell thinks, anyway, according to his comments at the Citigroup Technology Conference yesterday. Buying faster switches might not be the only way to amp up performance across data center networks, according to researchers at the University of California, San Diego, who this week proposed a network architecture that would enable commodity Ethernet switches to deliver better performance at a lower cost than their 10 Gigabit Ethernet counterparts. No matter which operating system is currently installed on your computer, the number one concern is always the persistent necessity to keep all data secure. If you are among those who chose to use Vista on their PCs and laptops, like the rest of us, you are probably experiencing difficulties in finding effective system utilities that can optimize your work with the operating system. And it just looks like the time is right for all Windows Vista users to start looking for the solution that would allow them to effectively backup Windows Mail. So what do you do if you haven’t been using a backup plan and your system crashes or a virus wipes out your files? You will probably have to call in the pros at this time. There are many companies that specialize in recovering data from any type of media for just about any type of system failure. Some of the companies also specialize in recovering certain types of files that have been corrupted. For example, if you have a corrupted Microsoft Excel file, look for a company that specifies expertise with that type of file. Spam (and the malware it contains) may be a tremendous concern to most IT companies, but information from a new Trend Micro survey suggests that it has become more of a managed concern, and is being superseded as a top priority threat by another issue: data leaks. While they may or may not be intentional, data leaks have the potential to expose thousands or even millions of records to theft. A new Texas law requires every computer repair technician to obtain a private investigator's license, according to a lawsuit filed in Austin. Violators can face a $4,000 fine and one year in jail, as well as a $10,000 civil penalty. A study released Monday by the privacy-focused Ponemon Institute and funded by e-mail marketing firm Strongmail reveals a disturbing disconnect in companies between the executives tasked with protecting customer data and marketing departments, which use the data for advertising purposes or share it with third parties. Today, data center experts are no longer taken for granted. The torrid growth in data centers to keep pace with the demands of Internet-era computing, their immense need for electricity and their inefficient use of that energy pose environmental, energy and economic challenges, experts say. Now more than ever, it's important that Windows users ensure their machines are safe from hackers. A dangerous new strain of malicious software that holds the victim's computers files for ransom has been unleashed, and Kaspersky Lab is warning that security researchers have yet to crack the encryption key. |
