Microsoft WGA without class action status!
Yesterday, I’ve heard this news from somebody else! They told me that there was a lawsuit that is trying to sue Microsoft for adding “Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA)” anti-piracy patch onto Windows XP users and disguised it as a high priority update in “Windows Update Center”. Nonetheless, if it had been given “class action status,” this could allow anyone who had owned a copy of Windows XP disk, then, they would have been able to join the lawsuit without hiring a lawyer. So, in my own judgment, this anti-piracy patch, it sounds very dodgy. It also acts like a monitoring software and eats all of your computer resources at boot-up! Even worse, it may retrieve sensitive data and send them back to their headquarters for analysis. Therefore, I would recommend everybody to keep an eye on “WGA” connections and block it from accessing your network.

Google on Thursday released a mobile optimized version of its Book Search service. You can get there by typing the http://books.google.com/m in your mobile browser. Now you can browse through its massive library, making your smart-phone a very effective “e-book” platform. Google is constantly updating its library and it is currently 1.5 million and growing!
Google uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to transform the scanned book pages into screen friendly text. This makes the pages easily readable on devices like the Apple iPhone or the T-Mobile’s G1 (Android powered).
Google Book Search for PCs displays scanned images of pages and Google openly admits the OCR technology used to make these pages small screen-friendly can have drawbacks. “Smudges on the physical books’ pages, fancy fonts, old fonts, torn pages, etc. can all lead to errors in the extracted text,” reads the blog post announcing Mobile Book Search.
