One provision of House Bill 30 would prohibit a government or any entity it creates from offering broadband for a fee. <http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/1123lawmays.html?net> PeopleSoft, Oracle standoff likely to linger The story continues, but the progress does not. The standoff between Oracle and PeopleSoft is once again at an impasse, as PeopleSoft's board refuses to sell the company at the price Oracle has offered, and Oracle refuses to raise its bid. <http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/1122peoploracl.html?net> Skulls Trojan attacks Symbian mobile phones Users of Nokia's 7610 smart phone and possibly other phones running Symbian's Series 60 software should be aware of a new Trojan program on the Internet. <http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/1122skulltroja.html?net> Cool Yule Tools Holiday Gift Guide Our elves tested more than 150 great and geeky products to make our annual holiday gift guide.
