Sometimes discretion really is better part of valor�.
The UK�s Register is taking Symantec�s �PR bunnies� to task over their claims (in a press release) that their products found the recent �Slammer� virus before it hit systems around the world.
It turns out their claims are less clear cut than they would like. Calls to Symantec�s UK PR reps were stonewalled with the Registered referred directly back to the original press release�.
Update: February 20, 2003 – Symantec respond
Search + Weblog = Googleblog?…
A week is a long time. There’s loads to catch up on and as you’ve probably already heard Google has bought Pyra, the company behind Blogger, arguably the world’s leading provider of weblogs with over a million bloggers on its books. Dan Gillmor broke the news. There will be a lot of analysis of this news in the coming days…
Deborah Branscum has (as usual) some great opinions on the Google acquistion and also covers an interesting farewell memo from David Stutz to his Microsoft colleagues on his departure from the company.
[Interesting that at the time of writing there is still no press release from Google on the acquisition on their website.]
