Case in point: Oracle may hold the lead, but some companies are beginning to look at IBM's DB2 offerings a lot more seriously -- especially if they already have Oracle installed. Apparently, insiders say that IBM, which offers a host of XML and Java links, is simply less expensive.

What used to be the domain of crooked waiters with handheld scanners has rapidly transformed into high-tech thievery. These days crooks are placing computer chips inside point-of-sale credit card terminals that have the ability to dial out and send the stolen credit card numbers to the thief's computer. A company called Hypercom discovered the bugs and issued a warning last week. Naturally, the response from industry heavyweights like Visa was lukewarm. Until they see the chips as "prevalent" inside POS terminals, Visa is publicly shrugging its shoulders at the technique.
