Crocodile Hunter Goodbye: Poem by Rupter McCall | Wildlifewarriors.org.au

The World's Original Wildlife Warrior -- Australia Zoo and Wildlife Warriors
Worldwide are today in mourning for a beloved friend and respected leader.
The global response to the loss of Steve Irwin and the public outpouring of
empathy we have received has been overwhelming, and a significant comfort to
those of us who knew him. This is not just a loss for us, but for a planet
full of people who loved him so well, and for the world’s precious wildlife
that he laid his life on the line to protect. How do I make a donation? The
Irwin family has requested that all donations be made to Wildlife Warriors
Worldwide LTD.

Firefox 2.0 RC1 Adds Security, Usability Enhancements | eWeek

Review: The Mozilla Foundation has added some welcome improvements to the
browser as it nears the finish line. Version 2.0 looks to be a must-upgrade
for Firefox users, but it doesn't dazzle with innovation. eWEEK Labs' tests
of Firefox 2.0 Release Candidate 1 show that the new browser will be a
worthwhile upgrade - with welcome usability enhancements and improved
security controls - but anyone hoping that it would set the Web on fire with
innovative new features will probably be a little disappointed.

Award-winner Prolifics makes IBM WebSphere Portal advantages "crystal
clear" | IBM

In 2005 Prolifics introduced a Web-based portal that, among other things,
enabled a medical office to get up and running on these services online.
Before the portal, bringing an office on board took about 90 days and
involved
lots of paper and phone calls. Today, with the portal, the entire process
takes just 20 minutes.

Napster explores sale, tie-up | CNN Tech

Online music company Napster said on Monday it was considering selling the
company or entering into possible joint ventures. Shares of Napster surged
11 percent to a four-month high. "There's been interest by third parties to
acquire the company," Chris Gorog, Napster's chief executive, said in an
interview, adding that other proposals had included strategic partnerships
or joint ventures. "That activity has heated up as we've gotten traction
with a lot of our new products. "Napster said it hired investment bank UBS
to help it look into the possibilities.

HP chairwoman to step down | CNN Tech

California AG may indict within a week in HP case -- CEO Hurd to succeed
Dunn
as chair; Dunn to leave post after scandal; director Keyworth resigns.
California Attorney General Bill Lockyer may file criminal charges within a
week in his investigation of tactics used by Hewlett-Packard Co. in an
inquiry
into boardroom leaks, a spokesman told Reuters on Wednesday. "It could
happen
in a week," said Tom Dresslar, a spokesman for Lockyer. However, "We're not
going to confine ourselves to a specific timeline for any charges."

IBM forges patent policy | IBM

IBM has adopted a new corporate policy governing the creation and management
of patents that goes beyond current law. The formulation came after the
company created and maintained a two-month wiki focused on issues around
intellectual property.

Google focusing on Web search, not own content | CNN Tech

Google Inc. is unlikely to make any major investments in original content,
choosing instead to keep its focus on Internet search, a top executive from
the Web powerhouse said Tuesday. Tim Armstrong, vice president of
advertising
sales, said Google viewed itself "as an operator of the Web" rather than a
company that would produce original text, films or images.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Software applies its own Band-Aids | IBM

New software will let developers and solution providers build applications
that can heal themselves. IBM researchers, who developed the software,
estimate it could save IT staffers up to 80 percent of the time they've
spent
manually fixing problems. Created through the collaboration of IBM research
and development laboratories in India, Japan, Toronto and the United States,
the software helps recognize warning signs to head off system crashes and
performance bottlenecks.

Processor, memory may marry in future computers | CNET

Will Intel get back into the business of selling computer memory? It might,
if one of the ideas in a recent chip prototype moves into manufacturing. On
Tuesday, Intel showed off an 80-core processor at its developer forum taking
place in San Francisco this week and one of the prominent features of the
chip is that each core is connected directly to a 256MB memory chip through
a technology called Through Silicon Vias, or TSV.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tiny RNA, big possibilities | IBM

Researchers at IBM and the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) have
discovered that microRNAs, small molecules that have been shown to be
involved in the regulation of the machinery of living cells, are probably
much more influential than previously thought.

European rivals turn wary eye on Microsoft | CNET

European security software makers are closely, but quietly, watching as
Microsoft enters their turf. Companies such as F-Secure, Panda Software and
Sophos are taking a low-key approach, unlike their U.S. counterparts.
Cupertino, Calif.-based Symantec, in particular, has been vocal in its
opposition to Microsoft, even sending executives to Europe to talk to
reporters about how it fears the software giant will undercut security
rivals with Windows Vista.

New mobile devices learn as they connect | IBM

New technology will allow mobile devices and networks to automatically learn
about users' whereabouts and preferences as they commute, work and travel.
The immediate benefit will be streamlining the routing of wireless phone
traffic. But researchers at IBM and Telenor, who developed it jointly,
foresee other more user-focused applications.

MySpace may be worth $15 billion | CNET

MySpace, the social-networking Web site, could be worth around $15 billion
within three years, measured in terms of the value created for shareholders
of parent company News Corp., a Wall Street media analyst forecast
Wednesday.
MySpace was acquired by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. for $580 million less
than a year ago. It now boasts more than 90 million active users.

New banking centers ease tellers closer to obsolescence | IBM

Michigan First Credit Union has teamed up with IBM for "electronic-banking"
centers that combine ATM convenience with services usually provided by
tellers or online banking. Although they look much like traditional ATMs,
the new units provide most of the services offered by a teller such as
cashing checks to the penny, making loan payments, getting receipts,
transferring funds between accounts, getting printed copies of statements,
and making deposits with checks, cash or coin.

Intel shows pint-size server motherboard | CNET

ntel began showing off a half-size server motherboard Tuesday, a design that
harkens back to earlier days when cramming in processors as densely as
possible was a priority. The S3000PT, code-named Port Townsend, measures
about 6 inches by 13 inches, said Dave Kennedy, a product manager at Intel.
That size means two of the motherboards can fit inside a single rack-mounted
machine just 1.75 inches thick, or 10 can fit vertically in a 7-inch-thick
machine. The company showed off both setups at its Intel Developer Forum
here.

IBM tech translates Arabic broadcasts to English | IBM

IBM researchers have developed technology to translate Arabic media
broadcasts
almost instantly into English. Code named "TALES" (Translingual Automatic
Language Exploitation System), the IBM technology processes the audio signal
from Arabic television and radio stations and translates its spoken content
into searchable English text.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Silicon technology not set in stone | IBM

Almost since the first transistor was created in 1947 researchers have been
working on ways to improve its performance. Now some observers say that
current approaches are nearing the end of their useful life. The latest
issue
of IBM Journal of Research and Development - available free, online --
disputes those views.

Study: Tech unites, not divides 'Family 2.0' | CNET

The world might be increasingly reliant on high-tech gadgets and new-media
information sources, but that has only strengthened traditional family
values,
a survey conducted by Yahoo and ad agency OMD concludes. The study surveyed
more than 4,500 families with Internet access, covering a total of 16
countries in the Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe. Participants were
asked questions on topics ranging from time spent together as a family
to the
number of gadgets owned by the household. The conclusion was simple: The
information age has led to resurgence in focus on the importance of the
nuclear family.

German patent office to file electronically | IBM

The German Patent and Trade Mark Office (DPMA), with the help of IBM
business
consultants, will switch to an electronic file system that will improve
efficiency and expand customer service. With the new system, which includes
document and workflow management, the entire process will be completed
electronically, from application to publication.

Reports: Microsoft buys Israeli start-up Gteko | CNET

U.S. software giant Microsoft has bought Israeli start-up Gteko, a developer
of technical support products, Israeli newspapers reported on Wednesday.
Although the value of the deal is not known, the Maariv newspaper said it
estimated it at $90 million. The Yedioth Ahronoth paper said it was worth
more than $100 million. Gteko and Microsoft officials were not immediately
available for comment.
