Maybe this is the problem. Should a religion be used to influence politics, as many movements are. You know what they say about politics (state) and religion. Look at what politics does to business, namely the slave trade.

he felt he would not be arrested again because he had created the manga images for Ikatako himself, therefore avoiding a violation of the copyright law.

If one of the motivations for such people to hack others computers is to prove how smart they are, this is epic fail.
Perhaps we need to just take the micky out people like this so at least younger kids don't see hacking others computers as a very smart thing to do.

most businesses would probably do the same damn thing.

What give out confidential information about there own company so their suppliers could get better deals. Or do you mean the suppliers paying the bribes for inside information, that would make more sense; you where't clear.

The indictment describes a scheme in which Devine used his position at Apple to obtain confidential information, which he transmitted to Apple suppliers, including Ang.

But basically, and in a similar manner to Katrina, Google came and washed everything else away for a time.

There's not much we can learn from Yahoo's first fatal flaw. It's probably too much to hope any company could avoid being damaged by depending on a bogus source of revenue.

At the risk of saying the obvious if Yahoo had been looking to please the consumer, and solve a problem that they were having (in regards to finding information on the internet) they could have avoided bogus sources of revenue. Media companies have a split business model where consumers (the people buying the goods) and customers (those providing the revenue, the advertiser) are different groups. Perhaps they should have looked at pleasing the consumer, as there is no business if the media company has no eye balls to distribute adverts to.
