Daily News Podcast For Tuesday, May 23


Posted by admin, May 22, 2006 10:24 PM

In today's daily news podcast, a thief steals identity information about millions of U.S. veterans; companies can use the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act to go after ex-employees for stealing intellectual property; a worm running through Yahoo's instant messaging network is installing a browser of its own that leads users to adware and spyware sites; an online poker site is dealing a Trojan; Bill Gates says finding information through keyword searches is just the beginning of what's really important; we give you our take on what Java's move to open source means; Seagate is laying off 6,000 people as it closes the Maxtor deal; smart cards are poised to offer wireless access in Korea, fight fraud in Qatar, and expand in the U.S.; and some are continuing the fight for the .XXX domain, but not for the reasons you might think.

Today's In Depth is about Microsoft, and our editorial comments are about Java in an open-source world.

Your host today is Johanna Ambrosio.
