 content arrow Intel's Blatt Seeks To Beef Up Health Care with IT
One of the big worries among American information-technology executives is that the U.S. is in danger of losing its edge as other countries, especially in Asia, build up their high-tech infrastructure and leapfrog past the West. Indeed, in some areas the question isn't whether the U.S. is going to fall behind, but whether it can catch up.
 content arrow E-Voting to Face Major Test Tuesday
Among the many questions that might be answered by the presidential election on Tuesday is whether electronic voting can silence its critics by turning in a seamless performance or, instead, will fall prey to any of the number of concerns that have been raised.
 content arrow Stocks End October with Mixed Session
A report showing the U.S. economy continuing to expand failed to spark a rally in stocks today as shares closed out a strong week with a mixed session. The Dow managed to add to the week's gains, tacking on 22.93 points, or 0.23 percent, to end the week at 10,027.47.
 content arrow RIAA Targets College Students with 750 More P2P Suits
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has revived its long-running campaign to stem file-swapping through legal action, suing 750 alleged file sharers across the U.S. for copyright infringement. The latest batch of suits included 25 users on 13 university campuses around the country.
 content arrow Bankruptcy Protections for Your Company
Most businesspeople get a knot in their stomachs when they think of bankruptcy. The reasons for this, I believe, are twofold: They don't have the basic knowledge about the implications of bankruptcy; and they feel a loss of control whenever they think about it. This article attempts to dispel the myths about bankruptcy.
 content arrow Security Firm Says 2004 Might Be Big Year for Hackers

 content arrow New Bagle Virus Declares Cyber War
IT security experts have warned that a newly intercepted mutant of the infamous mass-mailing Bagle worm, dubbed Bagle.bb, has begun to spread rapidly across the Internet. Over 1 million e-mail infections were reported within a few hours of the virus being discovered in the wild this morning.
 content arrow US Economy Gains 3.7 Percent in Q3
The U.S. economy grew at a strong, but less-than-expected 3.7 percent annual rate in the third quarter, the Commerce Department estimated today. The growth rate in real gross domestic product accelerated from the 3.3 percent recorded in the second quarter as consumer spending increased.
 content arrow Microsoft Faces Suit for Selling 'Defective' Game Systems
A man in Los Angeles filed a class action suit against U.S. software giant Microsoft yesterday, claiming that the company manufactured and sold thousands of defective Xbox video game systems. The suit filed in Los Angeles said the systems "contain a defect that causes the disc drive to crash ... making the accompanying games purchased by the consumer unusable and non-functioning."
 content arrow Bush Campaign Web Site Blocking Foreign Access
In a possible reaction to hacker concerns, the Bush Administration has blocked at least some foreign visitor access to its official re-election site. The British Internet traffic analysis company Netcraft reported several locations have not had access to the site since Monday.
