Symantec accuses Microsoft of "IP violations"
Source: Silicon.com
Date Published: May 19, 2006
Symantec has filed a lawsuit against Microsoft in US District Court for the Western District of Washington for allegedly violating Symantec's intellectual property, and has requested an injunction against development, sale, and distribution of Windows Vista. Vista allegedly includes parts of Symantec's Volume Manager, used for massive data storage, acquired by Symantec during its purchase of Veritas. Microsoft licensed the technology from Veritas in 1996 for use in Windows 2000, and eventually competing with Veritas with Windows Server 2003. Symantec also claims that Microsoft filed patent applications based on trade secrets stolen from Veritas.

ISP snooping plans take backseat
Source: C-Net News
Date Published: May 18, 2006
Representative F. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) has decided not to introduce a data retention bill that would require internet service providers to store metarecords on customers' internet use for police investigations, and has cancelled a scheduled May 23, 2006, hearing on the bill. According to Jeff Lungren, communications director for the House Judiciary Committee, a congressional aide had drafted the bill without Sensenbrenner's involvement. Lungren added that Representative Sensenbrenner has no interest in data retention legislation.
