Until recently, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act -- covering a myriad of activities related to hacking and intellectual property theft -- was just one of many questionable federal laws on the books. Then came the case of Lori Drew. Drew was widely vilified for provoking a young girl into committing suicide, but there was a certain uneasiness in many legal quarters about prosecuting her under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. It appeared that the law was being stretched beyond its original intent to meet the needs of the prosecutors in the case.

Stumped for a Christmas present? Target suggests giving that iPhone a shake. A new Target-branded downloadable application for the Apple handset lets users search for gifts in the Minneapolis-based retailer's database. Select a gender and age and then agitate the iPhone to activate its internal accelerometer. Presto -- the "Target" app provides a gift tip, via a nifty snow-globe effect. Target is among a stampede of corporations, celebrities and other prominent entities lending their names to iPhone apps, which typically also work on Apple's iPod touch.

With each passing year, hackers come up with new ideas, or variations of past ideas, to combine technology and social engineering to deceive users and attack networks for their financial benefit. The mid-2000s saw the proliferation of botnet attacks used for spam, targeted attacks and worse, while 2007 and 2008 have seen the rise of SQL injection attacks and other Web site exploits as hackers increasingly focus on social networking sites to target millions of users. What's on the threat horizon in 2009?

Part of President-elect Barack Obama's plan to stimulate the economy through a massive public works program will touch upon the technology sector, which has seen its share of woes in recent months. Through the proposed economic stimulus package, Obama hopes to expand access to broadband Internet, make government buildings more energy-efficient, improve IT systems at healthcare facilities and upgrade computers in schools. The proposal comes at a time when many companies in technology are struggling.

British residents are finding that access has been restricted to a Wikipedia page about "Virgin Killer," an album by the 1970s German rock group Scorpions. Several British Internet service providers have limited access to the page because it displays an image of the album's cover, which depicts a nude, prepubescent girl. The ISPs took action in response to a complaint lodged with the UK watchdog, the Internet Watch Foundation, which found that the album cover graphic was "a potentially illegal indecent image" of an underage child.

How did Seattle become the home for technology companies that want to help you buy or sell ... a home? Sure, it's where Microsoft and Amazon are based, and it's a well-educated, tech-savvy community, and the University of Washington churns out more than its share of software engineers. But why real estate? "Several years ago, there was a surprisingly large gap as far as meaningful real estate Web sites that focus on the consumer," Amy Bohutinsky, vice president of communications for real estate data company Zillow.com, told the E-Commerce Times.

Apple might be unfairly blocking rival software makers who want to sell music for its iPhone, according to some rivals and a technology rights group. The iTunes store accounts for four out of five songs sold on the Internet in the United States and is becoming more important as CDs fade. A milestone was reached last month when Atlantic Records announced digital sales had surpassed CD sales. Everyone agrees Apple achieved its dominance in music downloads and players with good products and marketing, which makes it entirely legal.

As enterprises scale up of their use of service oriented architecture (SOA), proper governance is providing an insurance effect. By deploying governance alongside and in sync with SOA development and deployment capabilities, enterprises are growing the use of SOA without stumbling -- allowing companies to "crawl, walk and run" to SOA without losing control. SOA governance heightens the business benefits of services, increases IT efficiency returns, and reduces the risk that complexity could undermine the services lifecycle in large organizations.

After the tech bubble burst, E*Trade's technology chief, Lee Thompson, needed to find a way to do more with less. In 2001 and 2002, the online stock trading company shrank its tech budget by one-third. "We had to go through and figure out every penny that we were spending and make alternatives to reduce those costs," says Thompson, vice-president and chief technologist of E*Trade. So he began using software that can be downloaded at no cost via the Internet. By the end of 2002, he was saving $13 million a year thanks to use of these freely available applications known as open source software.

As a gay man, Eric McKinley felt disenfranchised by online dating service eHarmony's policy of matching only heterosexual couples. Founded in 2000 by an evangelical Christian psychologist who says he's counseled thousands of couples, every one of them straight, eHarmony is famous for its 400-question application, which seeks to pair like-minded singles for marriage -- and to weed out the ones who aren't ready to walk that path. Though originally targeted at Christians, eHarmony now places more emphasis on values than on faith.

In 1999 at a Sony Music corporate meeting, the room was filled with Sony executives and attorneys from across the globe. At one point, one of the Sony attorneys gave a presentation on two music services. One was the Sony music service and the other was a tiny, fledgling service. The Sony service required users to go through multiple layers of Web sites in order to get to the songs they wanted. Then the Sony attorney demonstrated the other service. She typed in "Hey Jude." Not only did the the Beatles version appear, but so did other versions. And -- it was free.
