The U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) plans to put to work up to 25,000 units of Sun's StarOffice 5.2 software. Applix is being discharged. This is a good deal for DISA because open-source StarOffice doesn't have a license fee.

What used to be the domain of crooked waiters with handheld scanners has rapidly transformed into high-tech thievery. These days, crooks are placing computer chips inside point-of-sale credit card terminals that have the ability to dial out and send the stolen credit card numbers to the thief's computer. A company called Hypercom discovered the bugs and issued a warning last week. Naturally, the response from industry heavyweights like Visa was lukewarm. Until they see the chips as "prevalent" inside POS terminals, Visa is publicly shrugging its shoulders at the technique.
