1. At Google, Cube Culture Has New Rules

From The New York Times (Topic: Google), Dec. 5:
(Registration Required)
Google, like I.B.M., says that it is forging a corporate
culture in which success depends on performance. But while
I.B.M. is an old company that has revamped the social
contract with its workers, Google is writing a new one from
scratch.

2. Open Source Enters VM Space

From eWeek (Topic: Virtualization), Dec. 5:
Open-source technology is ready to take a major step forward
into the competitive virtual machine space, a move that
could help drive down costs for users. The Xen project this
week expects to release Xen 3.0, an open-source hypervisor
technology offering features aimed at large SMP (symmetric
multiprocessing) environments. At the same time, XenSource
Inc., a company founded earlier this year by the initial
developers of Xen, will release its first commercial product,
called XenOptimizer, designed to help manage environments
using Xen.

From MSNBC.com (Topic: Intel), Dec. 5:
Chip-maker Intel Corp. will invest more than $1 billion in
the next five years to expand its operations in India and in
local technology companies, Intel Chairman Craig Barrett
said Monday. The investment by the world's largest computer-chip
maker will include a $250 million venture-capital fund which
Intel has created for investing in Indian companies that can
benefit from the rapid growth in the domestic information-
technology market in the South Asian nation, Barrett said in
a statement.

4. Phishing: Beware the Internal Revenue Scam

From Business Week (Topic: Phishing), Dec. 5:
Scam artists are in hot pursuit of your identity. And they're
cooking up a growing number of so-called phishing schemes,
using e-mails that look like they're from a reputable source
to cull personal data needed to steal your hard-earned money.

6. Samsung Pleads Guilty to Price-Fixing

From CNN (Topic: Samsung), Dec. 1:
The price of memory chips began to climb in 2001, even though
the tech industry was suffering its worst downturn in history.
The CEO of Dell blamed the high chip prices on cartel-like
behavior. Prosecutors agreed, and the world's largest maker
of computer memory chips--Samsung--pleaded guilty Wednesday to
conspiring to fix the price of the chips used in personal
computers and other electronic devices.

From Wired.com (Topic: E-Voting), Nov. 29:

criminal prosecution should it fail to disclose software
code as required by state law.
