As eBay continues to promote its move to a single payment system &mdash PayPal &mdash as being in the best interests of its users, one security specialist believes it may be asking for trouble.
Ahead of this month's ISO decision in Geneva on the status of the software giant's contentious Office Open XML format, a visiting executive from Microsoft has said its persistence with the format has been spurred on by customer demand.
Unless one side or another decides to appeal, Friday's decision could mark the final chapter in a case once said to be a definitive one for antitrust law in the 21st century.
Everything from cleaning to IT development work is outsourced by governments these days, but should security clearance processes, which dictate what access a person has to government information systems, be included in that bundle?

According to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner's 2007 annual report, Australian consumers should feel pretty safe but that's because it's full of crap.
Managers in charge of storage have a lot to worry about, but there seems no particular reason why people in this corner of the world should be more concerned about security than anything else. Why is it that securing our data matters more to us than accessing it?
Increased airport security means business travellers may be separated from their essential gadgets for some time to come.
Cybercrime poses a growing threat to companies and governments around the world, yet experts are concerned law makers and judicial systems are still not equipped to provide an adequate response.

While Symantec's protection is solid, the overall user experience within Norton Internet Security 2008 could be much, much better. Not all the features work together and use fewer system resources.
System Mechanic 7 Professional goes beyond its original greatness, morphing a system utility suite into a kind of grand security suite. As such, it comes up short.
