		<title>100 Million Facebook users&#8217; information published, &#8216;meh&#8217; says Internet community</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now, THAT is how you get attention&#8230; A security consultant decided to execute some code, scan Facebook for publicly search-able profiles, and publish that information in a 2.8GB download via torrent at thepiratebay.org.  I don&#8217;t have first hand knowledge of what&#8217;s in the file, the download has about 40 minutes left before finishing.
In light of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Does the MPAA remind anybody else of South Park&#8217;s underpants gnomes?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seriously, guys.  How many times have I trumpeted this horn?  If the MPAA wants to substantially slow digital piracy, they should make content available online for a small monthly fee, and people will pay for it.  That&#8217;s precisely what some of our friends across the pond are doing, and the MPAA says they are a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Connect on LinkedIn, get sued under non-compete agreement?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This raises an interesting point. Does connecting with a former colleague on LinkedIn (or another form of social media) constitute a violation of  a non-compete agreement?
Here&#8217;s the 30 second version: TEKsystems Inc. has filed a lawsuit against former employee Brelyn Hammernik.  In this lawsuit, they claim that Hammernik is in violation of  a non-compete agreement [...]]]></description>

		<title>If you&#8217;re stupid and you know it&#8230; sue Google!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Picture this&#8230; You need to get from point A to point B, and you are walking.  So, you pull out your smart phone, and ask Google maps to give you directions.  The directions given include a 1/2 mile walk down State Route &#60;insert number here&#62;.  Would any reasonable person choose to walk down the center [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love it when this happens.  Let’s think back over the last several years, and collectively recall when Apple would accuse Microsoft of using its power and market share unfairly.  “Antitrust!” they shouted.   Now, Apple is being accused of unfair practices, of using its power and market share unfairly.  They are (gasp!) trying to convince [...]]]></description>

		<title>And somewhere at IBM, an intern has been fired&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This one made me laugh heartily.  Attendees at AusCERT, and Australian computer security conference, took home complimentary USB drives from IBM, but those drives had been infected with malware.  The good news is, it was an old malware (2008) that is detected by pretty much every antivirus product out there.
OK, so it&#8217;s unfair to blame [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s going on over at GoDaddy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m so glad I don&#8217;t have my site hosted there.  Seriously, this can&#8217;t be acceptable at all.  Long story short, sites hosted at GoDaddy are being hacked.  It seems to have nothing to do with the sites themselves, and everything to do with something wrong internally at GoDaddy.  It&#8217;s not breaking news, either &#8211; it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to encourage your cell provider to give you the worst service:</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I actually cannot figure this one out.  So, you pay for AT&#38;T service, but you don&#8217;t get service at your place, so you pay AT&#38;T $150 for a device to boost their service at your house?  Really?  How can I get into the business of providing you with poor service for a monthly fee, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Free version of MS Office to go live soon. So far, mostly so good.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, the good news is,Microsoft Web Apps goes live in June. Bad news? I&#8217;ll get to that in a minute&#8230;

Web Apps is the free version of Microsoft Office 2010 &#8211; a direct competitor to Google Docs. Free versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote will all be available once Office 2010 hits retail stores. Currently, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sweet! ATT to pay out for slower than promised DSL service!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s the catch?  Oh, they are the ones who get to determine if you didn&#8217;t get the service level promised&#8230;
In a nutshell: if you signed up for AT&#38;T DSL at any point after March 31, 1994, you may be eligible for a payout from AT&#38;T.  Assuming a judge approves the settlement, AT&#38;T will pour through [...]]]></description>
