		<description><![CDATA[According to my inside source, after overloading too few developers with too much work, Ballmer, Sinofsky and Co. blamed them for delays. Now they're busy undermining and/or purging the veterans from Redmond soil. Only problem is, when they're through, there will be nobody left to write Windows code. That's a bad idea from any perspective, especially security.]]></description>

It seems the banker behind the card, JP Morgan Chase tossed your personal financial details in the dumpster&#8230; on computer tape. 
Oops.

		<description><![CDATA[Despite the constant drumbeat of bad security news, many users believe it's all a bunch of bunk designed to panic them into buying stuff they don't need. They're right. But that doesn't explain why so few protect themselves by encrypting their wireless access points... especially since it costs them nothing at all. After seeing a wardriving report on my community, I'm depressed.]]></description>

A recent study found that credit reporting agencies fumble the ball 40% of the time... and that's at the simplest level, where agencies turn on the fraud alert. Credit bureaus are screaming bloody murder, but the story sure rings true among those who have dealings with their ilk.]]></description>

Here&#8217;s the short version&#8230;
World of Warcraft guy unknowingly deposits iPod in jet&#8217;s toilet when he drops his pants, triggering a terror alert, which forces a quick landing, evacuation, isolation and interrogation of all passengers. This, in turn, stimulates quite a bit of angst [...]]]></description>

Vulnerabilities in Centrino device drivers for Windows and Intels PROSet management software prompted a security update three weeks ago.

Email Battles will be off the air Thursday, 24 July 2006, from 3am to no later than 6am. New routers and other nonsense.
A few readers have posted me back-channel, asking what&#8217;s with the light posting. We&#8217;re grinding [...]]]></description>
