Le prestazioni sono su pure: i 320′larghezza di banda di scrittura sequenziale s è valutato a 220MB / s, in contrasto con 100MB/sec l'X25-M, mentre i numeri di banda leggere sono 270MB / s per il 320 e 250MB / s per l'X25-M.

Il 320 si posiziona come un desktop mainstream e notebook SSD, e perché utilizza lo stesso chip controller come il vecchio X25-M, si è ancora limitata la connettività SATA a 3Gbps. Questo significa che Intel sta lasciando il settore high-end al 34 nm, 6Gb SSD 510 serie ha lanciato il mese scorso con il trasferimento dati fino a 500MB / s.

Dell on Thursday launched another installment of its digital forensics bundle so law enforcement can collect data faster from crime scenes.

The company took its digital forensic bundle—Spektor Forensic Intelligence software from Evidence Talks and rugged hardware—and extended it to mobile devices. L'obiettivo: Examine data at a crime scene and collect data on the fly from various storage devices.

Crime scenes are increasingly becoming an IT problem since evidence can reside on PCs, computer portatili, telefoni cellulari, USB sticks, GPS devices and other memory devices. Dell’s goal is to allow for on-site investigation of digital evidence and analyze data with one technology bundle.

RIM Confirms, BlackBerry PlayBook Will Run Android Apps – NYTimes.com

Marzo 25, 2011 Da Lascia un tuo commento

In talking with one mobile developer recently, we spoke of all the platforms their app was available on, but one was missing – RIM. BlackBerry, they explained, was simply a pain to develop for.

Oggi, the company behind the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet and new QNX-based BlackBerry smartphones confirmed that it would support Google Android apps on these devices moving forward.

RIM has been on a decline as of late, giving up market share to Google Android, which just earlier this month passed the popular mobile OS to take the number one spot.

It’s a much-repeated mantra of the mobile space that the apps make the platform and RIM just opened up the floodgates for apps on its devices. As Digital Daily’s John Paczkowski points out, “PlayBook isn’t launching with 100 applicazioni. It’s launching with well over 200,000.”

Reining nei Pirati dei brevetti: La Cina Aggiornamenti Enforcement amministrativo

Marzo 25, 2011 Da 1 Come

(Westlaw business) Patent protection in China is back in the spotlight after the State Intellectual Property Office of the PRC (SIPO) recently reiterated its promise to tackle enforcement against infringers of intellectual property. During the fourth meeting of the 11th National People’s Congress, SIPO’s commissioner placed the importance of building up China’s IP community alongside approving the nation’s mammoth 12th Five Year Plan for national economic development.

Putting promises to paper, the Chinese government has worked continuously over the past few years to strengthen judicial enforcement of IP rights both in civil and administrative proceedings. In addition to updating China’s patent law, the Supreme People’s Court has, in the past, also issued instructions aimed at strengthening trial procedures involving IP litigation.

To provide additional clarity on administrative proceedings, SIPO recently amended the Patent Administrative Enforcement Rules. The Rules, which came into effect on Feb. 1, 2011, outlines procedures to be followed by local Intellectual Property Offices in processing and enforcing claims involving patent disputes.

Guarding against patent infringement remains a major part of risk management for many China-focused businesses, especially those that rely heavily on their intellectual property such as biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies. For some U.S.-listed entities operating in China, differences in patent protection laws leave their operations vulnerable. In a recent series of offering documents filed with the SEC, BCD Semiconductor expressed that China’s IP laws may not offer as much protection as other jurisdictions like the United States. Unlike common law jurisdictions, past court decisions in China have “limited” precedential value, which could pose challenges in predicting potential outcomes of IP disputes.

Del Dipartimento di Giustizia, SEC cracking down on U.S. companies engaging in bribery abroad – Il Washington Post

Marzo 25, 2011 Da Lascia un tuo commento

To win computer business with the South Korean government, IBM allegedly delivered cash bribes in shopping bags.

In pursuit of Ni­ger­ian construction contracts, Halliburton and its international business partners allegedly routed illicit payments through bank accounts in Switzerland and Monaco.

And a middleman for a middleman of the Italian energy company ENI allegedly made repeated trips to a Ni­ger­ian hotel room and handed over briefcases containing millions of dollars in U.S. currency to a government official. But paying the balance of the alleged $5 million bribe in the local currency was more problematic — the local bills were so bulky that the bagman allegedly had to deliver them by the carload.

These alleged schemes have come to light as part of an escalating effort by U.S. law enforcement officials against companies that engage in bribery abroad. Just last week, federal authorities announced they had charged IBM with corruptly pursuing contracts in Asia.

Negli ultimi anni, the Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission have filed an increasing number of foreign corruption cases, charging companies such as Tyson Foods, General Electric, Alcatel-Lucent and Daimler, the maker of Mercedes-Benz cars and the former parent of Chrysler.

The cases reach from Latin America to Africa, Asia and the Middle East, involving contracts worth billions of dollars. Insieme, they suggest that illicit payments often tip the scales of global business — sometimes with the blessing of top corporate executives.

Il Rise And Rise Of FCPA

Marzo 25, 2011 Da Lascia un tuo commento

Deloitte’s fourth version of its ‘Look before you leap’ survey on global risk includes much more focus on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), due in part to increased enforcement of the regulation over the past decade.

The regulation has been on the books for significantly longer – it was enacted in 1977 to make it unlawful to make payments to foreign government officials in order to obtain business – but given increased international trade and commerce over the last 30 years and, more cynically, the profitability enforcement has garnered for the government, Deloitte’s new focus makes perfect sense.

Almost two thirds (63 per cento) degli intervistati, who included corporate executives, banchieri d'investimento, dirigenti di private equity e gestori di hedge fund, say the FCPA and anti-corruption legislation have led to aborted or renegotiated deals such as M&A, joint ventures and distributor relationships.

As the trend toward increased enforcement is expected to continue, insiders say it behooves US businesses to implement compliance programs, keep careful records and thoroughly train their employees if they want to remain competitive on the global stage. And even though anti-corruption legal experts agree the FCPA may hinder US competitiveness in certain respects, they also say it may point to the need for an international set of anti-corruption standards.

Marzo 23, 2011 Da Lascia un tuo commento

(Westlaw business) Cross-border businesses beware: Stati Uniti. regulators have been busy bringing up the past. International Business Machines Corp (IBM) is the latest to be slapped, or rather lightly tapped, on the wrist for alleged wrongdoing committed overseas. The internationally recognized computer maker recently disclosed that it had agreed to pay US$10 million in connection with alleged violations of the FCPA from 1998 a 2009.

According to IBM, the fine is categorized as follows: disgorgement in profits amounting to US$5.3 million, prejudgment interest on the disgorgement of US$2.7 million and a civil penalty of US$2 million, which covers the alleged misconduct committed by IBM subsidiaries during the time period of 1998 a 2009.

Sondaggio: More Than 60% o degli Stati Uniti. Piccole aziende in pericolo di perdere email critici | Business Wire

Marzo 23, 2011 Da Lascia un tuo commento

GFI Software, a leading IT solutions provider for small and medium-sized enterprises, today announced the results of an independent survey conducted by Opinion Matters, in which more than 200 U.S.-based IT decision makers participated. The study commissioned by GFI revealed a dramatic lack of adoption of email archiving. 62.4% of SMEs do not currently use a mail archiving solution – opening the door to a host of issues including: limited email backup and restore, which could lead to data loss; an inability to search for pertinent messages in the event of an audit or eDiscovery request – which could result in costly compliance violations or legal suits; strain on Exchange servers; and storage problems.

“Email infrastructure is quickly becoming a complex beast, and IT administrators have more factors to consider than ever before – including an increasing level of compliance standards that many are apparently unaware of”

The survey also revealed that greater than 38% della 202 businesses polled do not have an archiving or backup solution of any kind in place, further exacerbating the chances that a network failure could result in a complete loss of critical data stored in email.

Additional results from the survey:

Two-thirds (66.8%) of respondents were unfamiliar with U.S. regulatory compliance standards regarding email archiving. This number ballooned to over 90% in businesses that rely on only one IT professional.

37% said they are required to search for old or deleted emails on a monthly basis, if not more frequently, because of requests from end users, the need to meet compliance requirements, the need to provide copies of correspondence for a lawsuit or audit, or any other requirements.

31% of respondents said they would consider a hosted approach to email archiving.
