Comment What about Verisign, Comodo, etc stop Certificates (Score 1) 507

What about Verisign, Comodo, etc stop authenticating certificates, or even flagging certificates as fake or revoked?

Despite a few webpages going down, this will stop most e-commerce, online banking, etc, basically stopping the flow of MONEY via the Internet. This will bring worldwide attention to the issue, and possible get other governments involved.

Also could Verisign, etc be targeted by SOPA, as by issuing certifcates used for encryption could be used by pirates to hide their information transactions...

Also what would happen to sites like github, sourceforge, codeforge codeplex, etc, since they all host projects that could potentially be used by priates, crackers, etc... Could all our favourite opensource hosts become quiet?

Submission + - Palm no longer offers PDAs. (palm.com) 1

MobyTurbo writes: "Palm's official website, which sold the entire range of Palm products, now no longer offers or mentions, outside of some accessories, Palm PDAs. Only their Treo and Centro phones. The new website is spruced up to prepare for Nova, a new Linux based OS for phones, reportedly to be announced at CES tomorrow, but part of the "Newness at Palm" apparently is to no longer sell PDAs. Oddly, the company reported that PDAs accounted for about 15% of their sales, a significant figure for most businesses, even though their last PDA, the Palm TX, was created in 2005."
