Many companies still have difficulty stopping the threats, researchers report. Programs typically attempt to hide inside computer systems in order to track users' Internet habits and provide data to advertisers. Part of the problem in containing sophisticated spyware, is that many firms believe that they have already sufficiently defended themselves, said Larry Ponemon, chairman of the research company and author of the report. Despite the lack of action on the part of these companies to block spyware some view it very seriously. Another serious problem is that many laptop computers become infected while outside of protected corporate environments. According to the Ponemon report, organizations' failures to block and remove spyware cannot be blamed on a lack of effort.

I wonder why other countries on other side of the world have to block information about them. supose a child in england needs information for a project about iran. supose iran blocks what is on that site.Then the child cannot work on his or her project,paper etc... .I think that it is rude, strange and ironic that some countries block info about them other countries.
I also think that if you don't have info to share then you should not post it
keep it to yourself. I think that it is ironic because you would think that a terroist country or a unknown country or a hated country would block thier info on wikipedia. But china??????? i think that's whack to block info and that countries should not blok info about them.

However gamers in the U.S. will have to pay 20% more money than people in Japan. PS3 is expected to outsell Xbox 360.

I think it's amazing how much technology has grown in only a couple of years. As the article said, you can now communicate with your friends in many ways wether it be through Myspace, Facebook, Yahoo, or any blog site. The nickname Web 2.0 is the perfect fit for the present internet.

I think that Yahoo has made a few ignorant decisions based around its competition with Google. First, like it said in the article, Yahoo foolishly refused to buy Google for $5 billion dollars in 2002. This cost them greatly. Instead they bought something else, called Overture, which they planned on using to duplicate Google. It was going to be Yahoo's Google, but they would have to pay the $5 billion dollars. It is very easy to copy what Google has done for the Internet. Yahoo's biggest problem is just copying what Google has done on the market.
