French music industry wants P2P ban
,----[ Quote ]
| Going for SourceForge for hosting P2P software is also a bit bizarre.
| Ironically it could mean that the Open Source movement grinds to a halt
| because of the Music Industry's obsession with copyright.

Mark Cuban Charged With Insider Trading
,----[ Quote ]
| Over the years, Mark Cuban has been quite open on his blog concerning various
| stock strategies that he has -- which have often gone against the grain. He's
| not a big fan of just buying a small amount of a company's outstanding stock
| and holding it, assuming that as a small shareholder, you're probably not
| getting the real information about a company.

Microsoft exec dumped stock prior to Red Ring announcement
,----[ Quote ]
| To make matters more murky, the sales were not registered with the Securities
| and Exchange Commission within the mandatory two days of the transaction, a
| result of an alleged "administrative error." Microsoft has since remedied the
| issue by following the "procedures required of late-filers."

Insider Trading Hasn't Affect Microsoft Stock - Yet
,----[ Quote ]
| MarketWatch.com reports that Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft's
| Entertainment and Devices division, sold $6.2 million of Microsoft
| stock just prior to announcing that Microsoft was going to have to
| extend XBox 360 warranties to three years because of extensive
| failures. The filings note that this was not part of any
| scheduled diversification or selling program; this was a
| conscious, unscheduled sale by the guy in charge of releasing
| news that could affect the value of Microsoft stock.
|
| [...]
|
| Insider trading is a very serious violation of the law; just
| ask Martha Stewart, who served five months in prison for
| avoiding losses of $43,000 through trades that just had suspicious
| timing (no insider trading was actually proven). This is $6.3
| million that went straight into Robbie Bach's pocket.
