| Census Bureau: Companies spend $251 Billion on network and computer ...
US businesses spent $251 billion on information and communication technology equipment and computer software in 2006, an increase of a little over 6% from 2005, the US Census Bureau reported today. Not surprisingly the rapid pace of technological advances in computers, telephones, fax machines and electromedical apparatus and network gear, have resulted in these assets being replaced much more quickly than other types of equipment, the bureau said in its latest Information and Communication Technology Survey. Many companies write off the full cost of these assets during the year of purchase rather than depreciating the cost over two or more years, the study found. Of the total spending in 2006 on information and communication technology equipment and computer software, or e-business infrastructure, noncapitalized spending accounted for $90.8 billion (36%), and capitalized spending accounted for $160 billion (64%).

She fought so hard for the American people that she risk almost completely destroying her husbands presidency. I haven't forgotten her heroic effort. If any Presidential hopeful for universal health care deserves my support, it's her. Also, if we the American people fail to bring enough pressure on our government to give us HR 676 which we all so desperately need NOW! Then we will need the most skilled politician we can get on our side to broker the best health care plan for the American people that we can get. Though it will be less than we need, and less than we deserve. The politician I think to best do this is Hillary Clinton.

Trend Micro Sees Growth of Underground Cybercrime Economy
CUPERTINO, Calif., Feb. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Trend Micro Incorporated TSE: 4704, a global leader in Internet content security, published today its 2007 Threat Report and 2008 Forecast. According to research from Trend Micro's TrendLabs(SM), hackers are intensifying their attacks on legitimate Web sites. The number of compromised Web sites are slowly outnumbering malicious ones created specifically by cyber criminals. It debunks the adage to "not visit questionable sites" because even trusted Web sites such as those belonging to Fortune 500 companies, schools and government organizations can hold malware. An underground malware industry has carved itself a thriving market by exploiting the trust and confidence of Web users. The Russian Business Network, for example, was notorious all year for hosting illegal businesses including child pornography, phishing and malware distribution sites.
