1. Can Europe Still Compete in Technology?
From MSNBC.com (Topic: Innovation), Nov. 14:
The future of Europe is often forgotten amidst the American
focus on competing with China. But European competitiveness
in global technology was a main focus at last month's sixteenth
annual European Technology Roundtable, in Athens, Greece--
and the messages of the three-day CEO gathering were
decidedly mixed.

2. World's Poor Still Face Digital Divide
From CNN (Topic: Computing Ubiquity), Nov. 14:
An African-led initiative that will use high-speed Internet
connections to treat AIDS patients in Burundi and Burkina Faso
offers inspiration for those working to bridge the world's digital
divide. Its great promise lies in its linking of technology spending
with existing campaigns to extinguish poverty, diseases and
illiteracy, averting the need to choose one over the other.

3. Gateway's New Turnaround Tale
From Business Week (Topic: Gateway), Nov. 14:
Wayne Inouye left little mystery over his comeback strategy
when he took the helm of PC maker Gateway. Nearly every
move he has made since last year's $290 million merger between
Gateway and eMachines resembles the steps he took while he
was chief executive of eMachines.

4. Control the Internet? A Futile Pursuit, Some Say
From The New York Times (Topic: Internet), Nov. 14:
(Registration required)
Working with Pentagon funds in the 1960's and 1970's, a small
group of designers created a pioneering research network called
the Arpanet and a software framework that could let an unlimited
number of computers exchange data.

5. Google Expects Analytics to Click with Advertisers
From eWeek (Topic: Google), Nov. 14:
Google on Sunday added a free traffic-tracking feature to its
advertising system, known as AdWords, as the Internet search
giant tries to keep pace with advances by rivals.

6. E-911 Rule May Rein in Some VoIP Links
From USA Today (Topic: VoIP), Nov. 13:
Most Internet-based phone services do not expect to meet a
government mandate to provide all their subscribers full-featured
911 service by Nov. 28. As a result, they likely will have to stop
signing up customers in much of the country during the holidays.
A group of Internet-based providers has asked a federal court to
suspend the deadline.

7. Battling Bugs: A Digital Quagmire
From Wired.com (Topic: Software Bugs), Nov. 9:
In 1976, computer pioneer Edsger W. Dijkstra made an observation
that would prove uncanny: "Program testing can be quite effective
for showing the presence of bugs," he wrote in an essay, "but is
hopelessly inadequate for showing their absence." Thirty tears
later, Dijkstra's1 words have the ring of prophecy. Companies like
Microsoft and Oracle, along with open-source projects like Mozilla
and Linux, have all instituted rigorous and extensive testing programs,
but bugs just keep slipping through. Last month, Microsoft's monthly
drop of bug patches included fixes for 14 security holes that escaped
prerelease testing, four of them rated "critical."

8. Verizon Moves to Stop ID Theft
From Reuters (Topic: Identity Theft), Nov. 9:
Verizon Wireless said on Wednesday that it had received a court
injunction to stop a Florida investigative agency from fraudulently
obtaining confidential information about its wireless subscribers.
