MySpace news goes online
MySpace's news service will be a combination of digg.com and Google News, reports Playfuls.com.
MySpace owners say they have something similar to digg.com and Netscape.com in mind, in which users are allowed to post and then vote for news, videos and even podcasts, making them more or less popular.
However, unlike digg or Netscape, which depend heavily on the content users post every second on the sites, MySpace will use software that will scan blogs and news sites for content, grouping the results in categories like sports, entertainment or politics.
Mozilla offers e-mail client
Mozilla has released Thunderbird 2, the latest version of its free, open source e-mail client, featuring message tagging and customisation, says News.com.
With enhanced features, Thunderbird 2 is intended to ease the organisation of e-mail via message tags, advanced folder viewing, and speedier inbox and message searching.
It says Thunderbird 2's customisation features are designed to allow users to create their own message template, or use any hundreds of free add-ons to change the appearance and functionality of their e-mail client.
Federal agencies scrutinised
Several state and commerce departments came under cyber attack last year, prompting the US House of Representatives cyber security subcommittee to say it is not confident these departments have adequate security, reports ZDNet.com.
It also questioned agency representatives on whether they could truly guarantee that sensitive information hadn't been accessed or copied.
"We don't know who's inside our networks," said subcommittee chairman James Langevin, at a hearing in Washington. "We don't know what information has been stolen."
