MOZILLA WARNS OF SECURITY HOLES, PATCHES FIREFOX
SAN FRANCISCO - Several security vulnerabilities in Firefox and the Mozilla Suite of Internet software put users of the open-source products at risk of hacker attacks, the Mozilla Foundation warned Thursday. http://newsletter.infoworld.com/t?ctl=BE4D0B:353CA35

START-UPS OFFER BLOG AND E-MAIL MONITORING
I'm just back from the annual Demo conference, this year held in Scottsdale, Ariz. If you're not familiar with this 15-year-old event, the audience is usually a mixture of venture capitalists, the investment arms of high-tech companies, and the media. Every six minutes, representatives from a different company mostly startups appear on stage offering a new product or product idea that they hope will capture the notice of those in attendance. More than any one particular product, though, I typically find that the kind of products shown is a leading indicator of what business buyers are looking for. http://newsletter.infoworld.com/t?ctl=BE4D0A:353CA35

NO SIMPLE LIFE FOR COMPUTER USERS
It's no simple life for Paris Hilton these days. First her Sidekick address book was hacked and her celebrity friends' phone numbers were made public; then the hotel heiress' name became the bait for two different e-mail worms. http://newsletter.infoworld.com/t?ctl=BE4D08:353CA35

VALUE SERVERS FEEL THE STRAIN
In the off-the-shelf world of value servers, surmounting challenges to high availability is your job. Management solutions make remote observation easier, and clustering is getting closer to standard fare for OSes. http://newsletter.infoworld.com/t?ctl=BE4D0C:353CA35

I'm test-driving the freeware version of AVG's Anti-Virus 7.0, and so far my hat's off. Not only does it seem as up-to-date as Symantec, it's definitely got less of a dragging impact on system resources. Before you get your hopes up, however, the free version of AVG's tool is slated solely for single-PC home-oriented use. Business accounts still must pay. http://newsletter.infoworld.com/t?ctl=BE4D09:353CA35

NTT PREPARES NEW SMART CARD, FINGERPRINT TECHNOLOGIES
TOKYO -- Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) is developing new smart card and fingerprint sensor technologies that could bring greater convenience to various types of security application, the company said Thursday during an open day at its Yokosuka research and development center west of Tokyo. http://newsletter.infoworld.com/t?ctl=BE4D07:353CA35

UPDATE: MICROSOFT SETTLES WITH DUTCH SITE OVER ANTISPYWARE ROW
A Dutch Web site claimed victory in a David and Goliath battle against Microsoft this week after the software giant's AntiSpyware program flagged the Dutch company's home page as malicious content. http://newsletter.infoworld.com/t?ctl=BE4D06:353CA35

PRODUCT GUIDE: APPRO 4148HS-82
Running four 2.2GHz Opteron 848 processors, the Appro 4148HS-82 is no slouch on compute power, but the disk I/O subsystem could use some polish. The end result is a low-cost, power-heavy server that may fit best in databases, compute-farms, clusters, and other heavy processing applications.
