* Dell thinking about more than direct. In a leaked memo, Dell's CEO outlines a number of 'steps to success' one of which is looking at sales opps in an 'indirect' channel. (Source: InfoWorld)
* Cyber-currency business under federal indictment. A federal grand jury later last week unsealed an indictment against the three founders of E-Gold, an online currency operation. The charges claim the company was laundering money for kiddie porners, identity thieves and similar slime. Maybe the government is finally getting wise to the Web's convoluted process strands.

* Brandjacking on the rise. Home users falling for the male enlargement ads aren't the only ones at risk from cyber-bad guys anymore. According to a study by MarkMonitor, corporations face threats from cyber-squatters, clickfraud and other abuses aimed specifically at businesses. (Source: PC World)
* Microsoft beats AT&T on patents. In a major upset, Microsoft wins a 7-1 decision on a patent infringement lawsuit against AT&T. So software coupled with hardware can't be patented. Ironically, this will be a big boost for open source folks and it's also going to turn a whole bunch of other patents on their ears. (Source: BetaNews)

It was the intention by the secret services to taint e-gold beyond its ability to conduct business. The link to child pornography was clearly designed to terminate the business. A dead giveaway that the powers that be are out for the juggler. I’m surprised they didn’t go further and falsely link e-gold to Osama bin liner though they did falsely link e-gold to terrorism in a round about way. E-gold is subjected to a modern day witch hunt. In a witch hunt it's not about who is right and who is wrong. It’s more about right rests with might. Very soon Dr Jackson will face a kangeroo court in which they will accuse him of all kinds of black magic, spells and evil potions and then subject him to the modern equivalence to burning at the stake. One has to wonder if the Soviets fled Russia when the Berlin wall fell and joined the US secret service and Government. Seems like it’s the same people who ran that regime now controlling Uncle Sam.
