Google and IBM are bonding in a serious way
| Quote: |
While Microsoft Corp. chases Yahoo Inc., Eric Schmidt, Google Inc.'s CEO and chairman, is seeking a stronger relationship with IBM, something IBM Chairman and CEO Sam Palmisano appears very interested in.
Schmidt, who spoke at the IBM's PartnerWorld conference here, later shared the stage at the Nokia Theater with Palmisano to discuss cloud computing, globalization and other issues.
The two CEOs bantered like old golf buddies, praising each other's organizations and rarely giving moderator Pankaj Ghemawat, a professor of global strategy at the IESE Business School in Barcelona, Spain, a chance to ask questions. |

Antivirus vendors slam Defcon virus contest
| Quote: |
There will be a new contest at the Defcon hacker conference this August, one that antivirus vendors already hate.
Called "Race to Zero," the contest will invite Defcon hackers to find new ways of beating antivirus software. Contestants will get some sample virus code that they must modify and try to sneak past the antivirus products.
Awards will be given for "Most elegant obfuscation," "Dirtiest hack of an obfuscation," "Comedy value" and "Most deserving of beer," contest organizers said.

| TechNet subscribers rip Microsoft over XP SP3 'farce' |
TechNet subscribers rip Microsoft over XP SP3 'farce'
| Quote: |
In a repeat of a February donnybrook over Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista, IT professionals and developers are blasting Microsoft Corp.'s decision to withhold the final version of Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) from them until after it's released to the public.
Subscribers to TechNet and the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN), who pay Microsoft hundreds of dollars a year for the right to download software for testing and development purposes, called the move a "farce," a "slap in the face" and "ludicrous."
Yesterday, Microsoft announced that it had finished Windows XP SP3, the last major update for the six-and-a-half-year-old operating system, and said that it would post the upgrade on Windows Update and its own online download site next Tuesday, April 29.
But subscribers to the TechNet and MSDN services won't be able to obtain SP3 until sometime "within the next month," according to Chris Keroack, the service pack's release manager.

| Obama site hacked, redirects clicks to Clinton's site |
Obama site hacked, redirects clicks to Clinton's site
| Quote: |
A cross-site scripting vulnerability in the social networking section of Sen. Barack Obama's campaign site was exploited over the weekend to redirect users to the URL of rival Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), researchers claimed today.
According to the U.K.-based antifraud company Netcraft Ltd., someone identified only as "Mox" confessed to the hack in an entry on the Community Blogs section on the Obama site Sunday. Obama, an Illinois Democrat, leads Clinton in the race for the party's presidential nomination. The site exploit occurred just before this week's big Pennsylvania primary.
"You may also be wondering, how did you get Hillary's site to appear where Obama's should be?" wrote Mox. "The answer to that is, through the magical world of Cross Site Scripting."

| Windows XP SP3 is When? |
Windows XP SP3 is When?
| Quote: |
ews Brief. Heck if I know, because Microsoft won't officially say. But Neowin claims inside information that I can't confirm.
You would think that Windows XP Service Pack 3's arrival would be news Microsoft would trumpet, particularly following a gargantuan leak. But n-o-o-o.
Here's the release schedule Neowin claims:
* Yesterday: Support for release version, which suggests RTM. If that happened, nobody has said.
* April 21: SP3 release through Connect, MSDN, OEM, TechNet and volume license channels.
* April 29: Release for manual upgrade through Download Center and Microsoft and Windows Updates.
* June 10: Automatic Update release.
Considering that most enterprises plan to deploy the update within three months of release, the timetable is worth promoting. So I e-mailed Windows PR: "They say confession is good for the soul. Neowin reports Windows XP Service Pack 3 will be available on April 29. Is there something you want to tell me?"
