Computer keyboards are filthier than toilets, according to a recent study.

 

British magazine Which? Computing requested that a microbiologist compare germs on 33 office keyboards to toilets and bathroom door handles and found the keyboards contained the most bacteria.

 

In fact, they were so dirty, they could cause symptoms of food poisoning and other illnesses, according to the report. One keyboard had 150 times the recommended limits on bacteria and was five times as dirty as one of the toilet seats, the microbiologist found.

 

The magazine said that office workers who fail to wash their hands after using the bathroom and those who eat lunch at their desks are likely to blame for the dirty keyboards.

 

Half the people surveyed by the magazine said they clean their keyboards less than once a month. Ten percent said they never clean their keyboards, and 20% said they never clean their mouse.

 

A study released last year by the University of Arizona's Dr. Charles Gerba contained similar findings. It found that women's makeup, phones, pocketbooks, hand lotion bottles, keyboards, desk drawers, and mice had the most germs (respectively). Men's wallets, handheld devices, and phones topped the male list. That study found that women's desks contained, on average, seven times more germs than men's desks.

 

Gerba, whose study was backed by Clorox, recommended frequent hand washing and the use of disinfectant wipes. The British report recommends turning off computers, shaking out food crumbs, using a damp cloth to wipe surfaces, and following up by disinfecting with alcohol wipes.

The first legalised home computers have gone on sale in Cuba, but a ban remains on internet access.

 

This is the latest in a series of restrictions on daily life which President Raul Castro has lifted in recent weeks.

 

Crowds formed at the Carlos III shopping centre in Havana, though most had come just to look.

 

The desktop computers cost almost $800 (£400), in a country where the average wage is under $20 (£10) a month.

 

But some Cubans do have access to extra income, much of it from money sent by relatives living abroad.

 

Since taking over the presidency in February, Raul Castro has ended a range of restrictions and allowed Cubans access to previously banned consumer goods.

 

In recent weeks thousands of Cubans have snapped up mobile phones and DVD players.

 

But only now have the first computer stocks arrived.

 

Internet access remains restricted to certain workplaces, schools and universities on the island.

 

The government says it is unable to connect to the giant undersea fibre-optic cables because of the US trade embargo. All online connections today are via satellite which has limited bandwidth and is expensive to use.

 

Cuba's anti-American ally, Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez, is laying a new cable under the Caribbean.

It remains unclear whether, once the connection is completed, the authorities will then allow unrestricted access to the world wide web.

For Yahoo, the future is anything but certain. In a company blog post, CEO Jerry Yang wrote that "The last 13 weeks have been a remarkable time here at Yahoo. We've been living under the microscope in a way we never have before." He went on to praise the Yahoo staff for continuing to press forward with the company's transformation strategy, and cast a hopeful eye toward the future.

 

"With Microsoft's withdrawal, we'll be better able to focus our energy on growing our industry leadership and maximizing value for stockholders," Yang said.

 

The problem that Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO) now faces is the same one it's had since Microsoft first announced its bid, only two dollars worse: How to find an alternative to selling outright that will bring equivalent value to the $33 per share price Microsoft had offered before talks broke down over the weekend.

 

Yahoo has already been the target of at least seven shareholder lawsuits charging that its board breached its fiduciary duty to investors in its response to the initial bid. Now that it has walked away from a higher bid, and its stock fell 15 percent to close at $24.37 today, more shareholders will likely bring a new wave of lawsuits, according to IDC analyst Karsten Weide.

 

"Yahoo's board just presided over destroying $6.5 billion of shareholder value, and they can't be happy," Weide told InternetNews.com.

 

Weide believes that Microsoft's withdrawal was merely a negotiating tactic, and that the deal will ultimately still go through.

 

"Microsoft called Yahoo's bluff," he said. "Now Microsoft is singing 'Time is on my side.'"

 

Yang told Reuters in an interview Monday that he had "mixed feelings" about the weekend outcome. Asked if Yahoo would still leave a door open for Microsoft to return, Yang said: "If they have anything new to say, we would be open. ... I am more than willing to listen."

 

While Yahoo's stock took a hit today, it did not tumble to the low-20's or high-teens as some had expected. To Weide, that resilience stems from the assumption among investors that the Microsoft acquisition is still in the cards. He predicts that pressure from Yahoo's institutional shareholders, which could take the form of an attempt to replace the board of directors at the shareholders' meeting next month, will ultimately force Yahoo back to the bar***ning table -- in a significantly compromised position.

 

Other deal watchers are not so sure. JP Morgan's Imran Khan wrote in a research note that Yahoo's return to the table "is very unlikely in the short-term, as Yahoo management fought to maintain independence and proffered a three-year strategic plan. However, it could be a long-term possibility of Yahoo is unable to stage a turnaround."

 

All eyes on Yahoo

So if all eyes are not on Yahoo going forward, what will its next move be? In his blog post, Yang touted the company's recent announcements, including opening its search platform, the launch of Yahoo Buzz and its AMP ad management platform, but none of those will bring shareholders the overnight value that Microsoft's offer would have.

 

Jefferies and Company analyst Youssef Squali, who also expects litigation from shareholders frustrated at the rejection of Microsoft's elevated offer, sees Google as the immediate beneficiary of the talks breaking down over the weekend.

 

"Outsourcing search (or at least a piece of its search business) to Google is likely to be its first move," Squali wrote. "Strategically, Yahoo will be bowing out of the search game … and giving up the ability to offer an integrated search and display buy -- leaving the playing field wide open for Google to dominate."

 

Government approval of any permanent search outsourcing deal could be a real problem for the companies. Department of Justice has already opened an investigation of the very limited trial of the program that the two companies have conducted, probing whether they were acting in an anti-competitive manner.

 

By making the outsourcing agreement non-exclusive and substantially limiting the portion of its search terms given over to Google, Yahoo might make the arrangement more palatable to regulators, but Stifel Nicolaus analyst Blair Levin still thinks that the government would take a long look at the impact any deal would have on the competitive landscape of the search market.

 

"The central question is where the DoJ would draw the line between clearly permissible experimentation (what they have been doing), and more impermissible full outsourcing that would essentially be the functional equivalent of a takeover, at least as to the advertising," Levin wrote in a research note.

 

Other strategies to infuse Yahoo with a quick shot of value include some form of alliance or combination with another company to expand its ad network. The short list of potential partners, wrote JP Morgan's Khan, includes News Corp, eBay and Time Warner, which has been in active talks with Yahoo about a potential sale of its AOL unit.

In essence, the speculative game of musical chairs seems far from over. The analysts agree that while Yahoo is free for the moment from Microsoft breathing down its neck, it still faces extreme pressure to demonstrate that its turnaround strategy is working, and soon.

Good news for users of Windows Vista. According to figures compiled by PC Tools, the OS has experienced only slightly more vulnerabilities than Windows 2000, which appeared eight years ago when malware was far less common.

 

Or is that the bad news? Despite having a reputation as the least vulnerable of Microsoft's operating systems, Vista still managed to record 639 unique vulnerabilities over roughly the last half year, which **** it in a worse position than the aging Windows 2000, which experienced 586 over the same period.

 

Windows XP, which still accounts for the overwhelming volume of the Windows user base, had 1,021, with Windows 2003 Server reaching 478.

 

The Australian security company collected statistics on the number of infections by analyzing figures from anonymous users of its ThreatFire community, with vulnerabilities double-confirmed by third-party anti-virus engines. The numbers are per 1,000 machines on each platform.

 

"Microsoft has invested a great deal in making Vista more secure, by providing a number of security enhancements which were not in prior Microsoft operating system releases," concluded PC Tools CEO, Simon Clausen. "But industry experts have been reluctant to confirm its improved resistance to malware with good reason."

 

"Since its launch, Microsoft has flagged the increased level of protection Vista provides as one of the key reasons why consumers should upgrade from Windows XP to Vista. If Microsoft's forecasts for the operating system are correct and Vista's market share increases significantly, we could expect infection rates to increase further on Vista," he added.

 

The problem with these bare statistics is that they make no mention of how serious these vulnerabilities were -- Vista has recorded few that come into the 'most serious' category by comparison with XP. They also don't specify where the vulnerabilities were uncovered. The majority of vulnerabilities are not in the OS itself and are traced to problems in browsers, for instance, and can even apply across platforms.

 

Microsoft would also point out that the user access control (UAC) feature of Vista stops malware from exploiting the OS without the user at least being aware that something is happening. Windows 2000 and XP lack even this basic level of protection.

 

On the other hand, Vista has had its embarrassing moments, securitywise. Only weeks ago, Microsoft had to explain how the .ANI animated cursor bug was allowed to find its way into Vista code without being patched as part of the much-vaunted Security Development Lifecycle (SDL).

A day after a U.S. judge dinged TorrentSpy with one of the largest fines in copyright history, the lawyer for the torrent-tracking search engine said Thursday the $111 million judgment won't get paid.

 

Nevis-based Valence Media, the owner of TorrentSpy, filed for bankruptcy protection in England last week "and has no appreciable assets," attorney Ira Rothken said. "This was a Hollywood publicity stunt."

 

The Motion Picture Association of America sued the search engine in Los Angeles federal court, alleging the site facilitated copyright infringement of Hollywood movies. The MPAA won a default judgment last year after TorrentSpy refused to turn over internal documents, and a federal judge levied the $111 million penalty and ordered the site never to return online.

 

"It certainly is not a lesson for other search engines to look at what the rules are as they relate to dot-torrent files," Rothken said. "There was no analysis of the copyright."

 

Elizabeth Kaltman, an MPAA spokeswoman, said "We will pursue enforcement of the judgment."

 

The legality of torrent-tracking services has never been litigated on the merits in the United States, said Charles Baker, a Houston IP lawyer who defended Grokster and is Limewire's attorney in a case accusing the peer-to-peer software maker of facilitating copyright infringement.

 

The MPAA, he said, wants "other torrent owners and operators to look at the $111 million figure and say, 'I'm getting out of the business.'"

 

The TorrentSpy case, Baker said, "is another example of the studios eating these guys to death. They haven't tried the merits of the case."

 

Gary Fung, the operator and founder of tracking service Isohunt, said the TorrentSpy decision worries him, but he's not going to cave to Hollywood.

 

"I'm worried," he said. "I wouldn't be able to pay something like a $100 million. I fully know the risk I'm taking."

 

The United States' largest copyright fine, $115 million, was a***nst the Kazaa file sharing service two years ago.

 

The MPAA's case a***nst Fung is pending in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, a case that is likely to set legal precedent in the United States and perhaps abroad on the legalities of torrent-tracking services that the MPAA claims facilitate wanton copyright infringement.

 

The TorrentSpy penalty is being appealed to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, Rothken said. He has already appealed last year's default judgment in the case that allegedly was built on the back of a hacker who was paid $15,000 to obtain private e-mail and financial information. Both sides are briefing that case.
