Submission + - IBM Makes Firefox Its Corporate Broswer (arstechnica.com) 1

Submitted by e9th
e9th writes: Ars Technica reports that IBM has adopted Firefox as its company-wide browser.It will be installed on all new employee computers, and all 400,000 employees will be encouraged to use it. Speaking of encouraging Firefox use, IBM VP Bob Sutor blogs, 'We will continue to strongly encourage our vendors who have browser-based software to fully support Firefox.' I hope this means that if IBM can't navigate a vendor's site with Firefox, they'll just look elsewhere.

Submission + - SCOTUS: Govt Employee Text Messages Not Private (businessweek.com) 1

Submitted by e9th
e9th writes: The Supreme Court, in a 9-0 ruling, has decided that government employers are entitled to examine all text messages sent with government provided devices, even if the employee has agreed to pay for any excess message charges out of his own pocket. While the ruling only applies to government employees (at all levels), it may give private sector employees something to think about when using employer-provided devices.
