EDITOR'S NOTE
|
|
Welcome to Saturday, the Old Testament Sabbath and what better day to reflect on the deadly sins that brought unstuck so many of those who had the misfortune to make this edition.
The IT world sat stunned this week over revelations that HP CEO Mark Hurd quit his job embroiled in a scandal that involved a former soft-porn actress. Now, shareholders angry at the loss of $US10 billion in the company's value seek revenge on the board of the Silicon Valley anchor tenant.
Our lead story reveals that ASIC banned two directors in an IT training firm that collapsed owing more than $4.5 million.
And database behemoth Oracle, fresh from auditing its intellectual property in the wake of its Sun Microsystems takeover, set phasers to stun and attacked Google over what it says is the search-advertising giant's improper use of its Java technology.
Read on, count up the sins and enjoy the rest of your Saturday.
