When the recording industry last month let slip plans to sue individuals who trade copyrighted songs on file-swapping services, Web surfers everywhere pulled down their MP3 collections in a frenzy of fear.
OK, not really. Despite the music industry's hopes, such threats have so far been met with a collective yawn in the file-swapping community, which has yet to see much damage in spite of repeated legal wrangling with the Recording Industry Association of America.

Three years ago, IBM introduced its first Enterprise Storage System product, code-named Shark, in an attempt to rebuild a market it had almost totally ceded to rivals EMC and Hitachi Data Systems.
<a name="h3"><b>HP exits e-business software market</b></a><br>
Hewlett-Packard on Monday discontinued its family of e-business software after failing to make a splash in the multibillion-dollar market.
After a two-year effort, HP decided to discontinue its NetAction product line, which included application-server software designed for Web transactions, and related software for building Web services, technology that allows companies to interact and conduct business via the Internet.
<a name="h4"><b>Security's the message for Exchange</b></a><br>
Microsoft is hatching plans for a new Exchange Server e-mail system, with improved security, a facelift for Outlook, and better support for cell phones and other handhelds.
Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer is expected to elaborate on the new version of Exchange in a speech to business partners Monday at its Fusion conference in Los Angeles.
<a name="h5"><b>Hack attacks on Linux on the rise</b></a><br>
Hackers are increasingly targeting Web servers based on the Linux operating system, while the number of successful attacks on Windows systems decreases, according to a new report from a U.K. systems integrator.
The study by Mi2g also found that successful attacks on U.K. and U.S. government sites have decreased, which may be due to tougher laws and improved security.
<a name="h6"><b>Microsoft tries to steal Macworld thunder</b></a><br>
The strategic attack comes as tensions mount between Apple and Microsoft. During Macworld five years ago, the two companies announced a five-year technology agreement, whereby Microsoft committed to continued development of Office and Internet Explorer for the Mac.

"We're still at the very beginning," says Amazon.com's founder in a wide-ranging interview over lunch. "There's so much more to come."
