$2 trillion fine for Microsoft security snafu?

Doubtful it’ll happen..

Microsoft’s latest security lapse with its Passport information service could trigger a $2.2 trillion fine on the company courtesy of the US government.

Microsoft on Thursday admitted that a flaw in the password reset tool of its Passport service could compromise the information stored on all 200 million users. It scampered to post a fix and is looking into potential exploits, but the damage to Microsoft may already have been done.

Saddam's mouthpiece 'seeks surrender'

It looks like the Americans Won’t arrest Comical Ali!

US President George W Bush has admitted that he enjoyed Mr Sahhaf’s briefings so much that he used to interrupt some of his meetings just to watch him.

His son is working in Beaumont Hospital, Dublin, where he’s earned the nickname “Surgical Ali”.

‘My father is a good guy. He is a very friendly guy,’ he said. ‘He knows he is responsible for his own decisions but, as a father, he is a very good man.’
