wouldn't want to have to tap on a specific spot on the UI), but scrolling
through menus, swiping to select items in inventory or panning around a
map all seem like viable touch-enabled gaming UI interactions that you
can do 'blind.' In shooter games you'll often have a gun reticle

as well as Comcast's previous public statements about favoring an open
Internet. While the network neutrality debate in Washington has focused
on what actions a broadband access provider might take to filter,
prioritize or manage content requested by its subscribers, Comcast's
decision goes well beyond this. With this action, Comcast is preventing
competing content from ever being delivered to Comcast's subscribers at
all, unless Comcast's unilaterally-determined toll is paid — even though
Comcast's subscribers requested the content. With this action, Comcast
demonstrates the risk of a 'closed' Internet, where a retail broadband
Internet access provider decides whether and how their subscribers

University of Florida student Zachary Garcia was more than a little
surprised to [0]find out he was wanted for murder after Googling his name.
It turns out the police were looking for a different man but had
mistakenly used Garcia's photo. From the article: "Investigators
originally released a driver's license photo of Zachary Garcia — spelled
with an 'A' — but it was Zachery Garcia — spelled with an 'E'— who was
charged in connection with the crime."

Atmanman writes "When WikiLeaks announced it was releasing 251,287 US
diplomatic cables, we all thought we knew what was meant by its earlier
ominous words that, 'The coming months will see a new world, where global
history is redefined.' It now appears the organization is sitting on a
treasure trove of information so big that it has stopped taking
submissions. Among data to be released are tens of thousands of
[0]documents from a major US banking firm and material from
pharmaceutical companies, finance firms and energy companies."

CWmike writes "Raising the stakes in its war of words, Microsoft said on
Tuesday that Google simply doesn't understand what businesses need, and
is [0]failing at pushing its way into the enterprise. In this edited
version of his interview with Computerworld, Microsoft's senior director
of Online Services, Tom Rizzo, talks about Google's privacy issues,
scanning user data, the difference between consumer and corporate needs,
and his doubts about Google surviving in the enterprise space. He also
said he thinks Google will be shocked to see Microsoft's momentum into
the enterprise cloud sector."

Normally I avoid slide show type articles, but this one is actually
pretty interesting. It starts "This NASA lab contains a [0]recreation of
the computer systems found onboard the International Space Station. It is
the place where the final bug testing takes place before software is
uploaded to the station and where software engineers recreate bugs that
occur onboard the station in an attempt to help fix them."

Trailrunner7 writes "A site belonging to [0]the Savannah GNU free
software archive was attacked recently, leading to a compromise of
encrypted passwords and enabling the attackers to access restricted
project material. The compromise was the result of a SQL injection attack
against the savannah.gnu.org site within the last couple of days and the
site is still offline now. A notice on the site says that the group has
finished the process of restoring all of the data from a clean backup and
bringing up access to some resources, but is still in the middle of
adjusting its security settings."

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

yoyo81 writes "The Supreme Court has [0]refused to hear an 'innocent
infringement case' in which Whitney Harper shared some music on the
family computer when she was a teenager and was subsequently hit with a
lawsuit from the RIAA. An appeals court overturned an earlier ruling from
a federal court that reduced damages to $200 instead of the statutory
$750 claiming 'innocence' was no defense, especially since copyright
notices appear on all phonorecords. She appealed to the Supreme Court,
which refused to hear her case, but Justice Alito stated, 'This provision
was adopted in 1988, well before digital music files became available on
the Internet' and further, 'I would grant review in this case because not
many cases presenting this issue are likely to reach the Courts of
Appeals.' For now, though, Harper's verdict remains in place: $750 for
each of the 37 songs at issue, or $27,750."

 **Our client is currently implementing MDM and is going live with the Supplier piece today.  They will get ready

To start implementing the Items and Customer piece now.  They are basically looking for a Consultant to come in

And take a look and see if they are on the right track, make suggestions etc.  They would look for this person to supplement

With MDM/PI and MDM Implementation tools.  This person would also assist with data cleansing, data mastering and tools

Surrounding that.  This person would need to know complex models for the customer and items piece and the Portal interface

Into MDM workflows.  PI is already implemented and up and running however they are not using PI's routing so would love this

Person to get that configured within PI.   They think it would take about 3 days for the consultant to come in and see

What they have done so far and then another 4 weeks for the Customer/Items implementation and perhaps more spot consulting from there

On out.
