Welcome to the afternoon edition of iTnewswire.

This afternoon, security watchers from both sides of the fence have been testing Google's Code Search service to determine whether it can be misused.

To think HP - the world's second-largest computer company, is alone in pursuing aggressive internal investigations would be naive, says HP's former chairman.

Enterprises should demand some kind of compensation from Microsoft for implementing the developer's new product validation and activation schemes baked into Windows Vista, according to Gartner.

One of Silicon Valley's premiere venture capital investors is pulling the plug on raising a new US$300 million fund, saying it sees no near-term cure for the troubles plaguing the start-up economy.

Apple's board has cleared CEO Steve Jobs of any misconduct over stock-options accounting problems, and Wall Street cheered him for taking broad responsibility.

Is Steve Jobs a crook? Will more vendors come under the pretexting microscope? Mail your comments.
