Microsoft Corp is developing a feature in its new operating system that allows users to turn off Internet Explorer and other key Microsoft programs. The new feature is a major step for the world's largest software company, which has been accused by competitors and regulators of forcing consumers to run its own software, squeezing rivals' offerings out of the marketplace.

“In addition to the features that were already available to turn on or off in Windows Vista, we've added the following features to the list in Windows 7,” said a Microsoft blog published on Friday, listing Internet Explorer 8, Windows Media Player and a host of other Microsoft programs.

Police have made a major crackdown on illegal file-sharing by seizing a giant computer server during an apartment raid in a Stockholm suburb, an official said Saturday. Henrik Ponten, a spokesman at the Swedish Anti-Piracy Bureau, said the server contained about 65 terabytes of files, corresponding to around 16,000 full-length movies.

Police raided the apartment in Brandbergen, in southern Stockholm, in the beginning of February after the anti-piracy bureau filed a report about it, he said. Ponten said one suspect had been questioned by police, but was released shortly afterward since the confiscation was the main objective of the raid.
“Basically he admitted he was in charge of it (the server),” he said. According to Ponten the server is part of an international pirate network called “The Scene,” providing users of Internet file-sharing sites such as Sweden's The Pirate Bay with extensive access to copyright protected material.

Apparently it just required a little tweaking of the software. Here’s what Nokia said in an emailed statement: “Following the introduction of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic in North America, some consumers reported difficulties connecting with the local 3G network.

While some stockholders may have hoped for a dividend, Schmidt further revealed that Google hasn’t discussed issuing a dividend payment. Google’s stockpiling of cash has caused some to wonder if the company is saving up to make a big acquisition. According to Schmidt, Google

Everything Amazon seems to touch turns to gold, so why should this initiative be any different? In an effort to rival GameStop’s highly successful trade-in business, the online e-tailer has launched its very own Video Games Trade-In program. Of note, the program is still listed as “beta” for the moment, but it’s completely live and ready to accept any of your mildly stale titles. The process seems simple enough.
