Compuware asks court to punish IBM
[CNET News.com]
Software maker Compuware has accused IBM of holding back evidence in an attempt to further delay a long running legal dispute over alleged anticompetitive behavior. Compuware filed a motion in the U.S. District Court of Eastern Michican last Friday that accused IBM of failing to submit key evidence, including several pieces software source code. The case dates back to 2002 when Compuware filed a lawsuit that charged IBM with stealing trade secrets.

The Missing Link

IT firm submits to critics, yanks suggestive ad
[The Register]
Next time your company is trying to come up with a cool ad campaign, remember this -- people get enough bondage talk with their spam; they don't want it with their IT trade pubs, too. Web hosting firm Amen Ltd. recently ran an ad with the headline "Bound to Serve" and "Take control of your very own dedicated server -- 100% Linux, 100% dedicated" at the bottom of the ad. The verbiage wasn't really the problem. It was the picture between the text that was the problem -- a semi-clad woman wearing a mask. The picture was worth a thousand words -- not all of them complimentary. Amen axed the ad. Amen to that. Must have been one scary mask.
