It seems as though LifeLock isn't as secure as Todd Davis makes it out. According to a LifeLock spokesman, his identity has been stolen. For two years, Davis has been daring hackers to steal his ID. Looks like he got what he wanted. CNN reports: "Now, LifeLock customers in Maryland, New Jersey and West Virginia are suing Davis, claiming his service didn't work as promised and he knew it wouldn't, because the service had failed even him."

Microsoft has said to engaget that They do not plan on making new consoles available in 2009. This comes from the same company that said it wasn't producing a blu-ray drive for that Xbox, so it is pure speculation. Expect to see a new console within that year. Engaget also hints: "Microsoft representative let us know today that "While we don't normally comment on rumors like this, we can tell you that we have no plans to release a new console in 2009"". The rest of us will wait and see. For now, focus on what is available.

In an unbelieveable move, Microsoft has disclosed 14,000 pages of coding secrets. According to The Reigster: "This is Microsoft's latest effort to satisfy anti-trust concerns of the European Union, which is possibly a tougher adversary for the company than Google." Not suprising, seeing as how the EU is usually all over them. The article also mentioned that this will be done in three phases. "Between now and June it will garner feedback from the developer community. Then, at the end of June, Microsoft will publish the final versions of technical documentation — along with definitive patent licensing terms." Lets just hope those terms are pro open source.
