to shelter DVD copyrights, a new program that breaks DVD code is fueling a battle
between proponents of free speech protection and those who want to bolster copyright
protection. Wall
Street firms embrace WorldStreet's p-to-p offerings Taking Advantage of
the financial services industry's eagerness to adopt early on peer-to-peer technologies,
WorldStreet next week will roll out what it believes to be the first p-to-p network
for the financial services market. Micron
Electronics to exit PC business Micron Electronics said it is exiting
the PC business and merging with Web hosting company Interland in a $130 million

is not only swiping at its old foes, Sun Microsystems and Oracle, but at Internet
aggregation king AOL Time Warner, as well. Via
once again on collision course with Intel Via Technologies Inc., the Taiwan-based
chip maker that has become a thorn in the side of Intel Corp. in recent years
over its disputed use of licensed technology, is set once again to take a poke
at the chip giant. Getting
