Good morning
. US government investigators have found stolen pieces of military materiel up for sale on eBay and Craigslist.

The findings from the fourth-quarter 2007 Open Source Industry and Community survey is out. The authors say the results show open source is effective in combating trade deficit and that IT professionals involved in open source earn more than their more proprietary colleagues. Let’s check it out.

This morning, Australian Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard suggested that permitting bosses to spy on their workers’ email would help reduce terrorism.  Where do we draw the line on privacy?

Two way communication between Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch and compatible Blu-ray players such as the Sony PlayStation 3? It's here!

As usual there is plenty more in today's update, so please read on and for all the news visit our web site www.itwire.com.
