03/14/2005 05:46 PMThe U.S. government will not get a head start on other Windows users
when it comes to Microsoft (Quote, Chart) security updates, the
company said Friday in response to news report that suggested
otherwise.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. Air Force will receive
early versions of software patches through Microsoft's Update
Validation Program (SUVP) and those fixes will be forwarded to other
agencies through the Department of Homeland Security.
But according to Microsoft, officials from the Redmond, Wash.,
software giant and the Air Force have met in recent weeks with
officials from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the DHS
to discuss the best practices established by the Air Force after a
recent five-year $500-million deal inked in November.

tough times for the Xbox in Korea.
Xbox has been in the Korean market for over a year and was targeted to
sell 150,000 units during that period. Unfortunately for Microsoft,
only 60,000 consoles have been sold to date due to lackluster demand
by Korean gamers.

in damages to a California tech company, Immersion Corp.
, whose shares jumped more then 5 percent.

Sony Ordered to Stop PlayStation Sales &
P2P Info
03/28/2005 04:05 PMSony was told to stop sales of it’s PlayStation console as a
judge upheld a jury ruling in California in 2004 that Sony used
Immersion’s vibrating controller technology in their
PlayStations. According to a company representative, Sony will still
be able to sell the game consoles while it attempts to appeal the
ruling. The company will also start paying Immersion royalties as
ordered.
While on the subject of legal rulings, on Tuesday Grokster and
Streamcast will be in front of the US Supreme Court to argue their
case. Both file-sharing companies contend that P2P networks can be
used to share legal content and they cannot control, and thus are not
liable for, any piracy going on. According to Betanews, The
entertainment industry, which will be represented in court by MGM
Studios, disagrees with such claims. Hollywood and the RIAA say that
P2P companies such as Grokster and StreamCast are no different from
the old Napster, and have built their business by encouraging
users to share illicit content. A federal appeals court sided
with the file sharing networks last August, stating that
Grokster and StreamCast's Morpheus had legitimate uses, even if the
majority of users are trading illegal content. But the industry
refused to give up, and the case will be decided by the nation's top
court.
In a real twist, Mark Cuban decided to put his money where his
mouth is and financially back Grokster in it’s legal fight
against MGM. Check out his blog here.

Ned Batchelder alerted me this morning to Amazon's new search feature:
Now Amazon lets you search the full text of its books. This is
astounding, not only because of the further differences it highlights
between Amazon and traditional bookstores, but because of the effort
it must have taken to accomplish. The text seems to be from scans of
pages, subjected to an OCR process. And not just the bulk of popular
books, either. They've got all sorts of wild and wooly volumes
available this way. I don't know how truly useful it will be, since
full text searching can be extremely noisy, even before the OCR noise
is factored in. [
Ned Batchelder: October 2003]
I wondered about the OCR strategy too. In this day and age, surely any
publisher could provide electronic copy to an indexer. But then I
drilled down and discovered something quite remarkable. I own a copy
of Tesla:
Man Out of Time. The other day, I was mentioning to someone that,
according to that book, some of Nikola Tesla's writings are
still classified. This
query finds the passage I was
remembering. Awesome! Now the physical book I bought from Amazon is
more valuable to me. Its printed index has been augmented by a vastly
more capable online index. This extremely useful capability is, by the
way, also available to owners of books in the
Safari Books Online service,
though it correlates results only to chapter and section, not to page.
Little-known fact: you need not be a Safari subscriber to use Safari
as an augmented index to books you own.

for the technology Sony used that makes a game controller vibrate in
sync with actions in games.
Sony's gaming unit, Sony Computer Entertainment, plans to appeal the
decision made by the California court on Thursday.
