Microsoft denies role in British Linux flop [CNet]
“_ Birmingham pulled the plug on its open-source desktop project after it found that an upgrade to Windows XP was cheaper. Birmingham City Council had planned to roll out 1,500 Linux PCs across its libraries, but in the end converted just 200 PCs._”The price of humans who’ll spam blogs is falling to zero [The Guardian]
“Which rang a bell: earlier this year, I spoke with someone who does blog spamming for a living - a very comfortable living, he claimed. But he said that the one thing that did give him pause was the possibility that rival blog spammers might start paying people in developing countries to fill in captchas: they could always use a bit of western cash, would have the spare time and, increasingly, cheap internet connections to be able to do such tedious (but paid) work.“Feds: Linkin Park fan hacks phone data [AP]
“A woman is accused of using a computer at a national laboratory to hack into a cell phone company’s Web site to get a number for Chester Bennington, lead singer of the Grammy-winning rock group Linkin Park.“
