It looks like our news system is getting back in order. Since we’ve spent a lot of our time tinkering with systems, we thought it’d be a good idea to let you know what we’ve been covering in the ZATZ magazines this month.

The big news, of course, is our coverage of the White House missing email controversy in both DominoPower Magazine and OutlookPower Magazine.

Over in OutlookPower, we’ve also been giving a lot of coverage to Outlook 2007 and what’s involved in upgrading.

Not to be outdone, Computing Unplugged Magazine has been running fascinating articles on assistive technologies, an Amber Alert Child ID kit, and, in perhaps the coolest article we’ve ever run, Richard Siderits showcases how he built a desktop fabrication system, right on his desktop.

Zipping on over to Connected Photographer Magazine, we ran a focus on how to buy a camera for Dad. If you haven’t gotten him his gift yet, there’s still time. Plus, we’ve got more on assistive technologies, this time for photographers, an interesting article on high-end macro lenses, and even how to create watermarks with Microsoft Paint. Yep, we said Microsoft Paint.

And, finally, the fine editors over at WebSpherePower Magazine have been storing up the latest and greatest news from the IBM WebSphere, enterprise Java, and Eclipse world. Now that our news system is back, you can expect to see a ton of cool announcements for your geeking pleasure.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been talking a lot about the problems with email at the White House and what’s broken. We’ve talked very little about possible solutions to the problem. Between our OutlookPower and DominoPower magazines, we probably reach more active Notes/Domino and Outlook/Exchange experts than any other organization. In this article, we’re calling on you, asking for your help in coming up with some possible solutions to the many problems we’ve uncovered.

Google’s privacy practices are the worst among the Internet’s top destinations, according to a watchdog group seeking to intensify the recent focus on how the online search leader handles personal information about its users.

In a report released Saturday, London-based Privacy International assigned Google its lowest possible grade. The category is reserved for companies with "comprehensive consumer surveillance and entrenched hostility to privacy."

Niels Provos, one of the brains behind Google’s big anti-malware push, has released a new version of the open-source SpyBye, adding a key new feature to allow it to be used as proxy for regular Web browsing.

SpyBye, a free utility that helps Web masters determine if their Web pages are hosting browser exploits, can now work within the browser to trigger a warning notification and links to an in-depth analysis of the suspicious page.

Malicious software targeting OpenOffice.org documents is spreading through multiple operating systems, according to Symantec.

"A new worm is being distributed within malicious OpenOffice documents. The worm can infect Windows, Linux and Mac OS X systems," according to a Symantec Security Response advisory. "Be cautious when handling OpenOffice files from unknown sources."

Apple’s Mac OS is not a virus-free platform, said Jan Hruska, who co-founded rival antivirus firm Sophos and was one of the first ever PC antivirus experts.

Anti-spam forces must have hit a nerve with their adversaries.

As of the evening of June 7, anti-spam groups Spamhaus, SURBL (Spam URI Realtime Blocklists), URIBL (Realtime URI Blacklist) and others have been under a DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack, according to the ISC (Internet Storm Center), which is run by the SANS Institute (SysAdmin, Audit, Network, Security).

This is an extremely serious issue, as these types of attacks have succeeded in bringing down and, in some cases, permanently knocking out important weapons in the fight against spammers.

Both Microsoft and IBM are chasing the same goal of empowering their customers to have more agile, dynamic businesses.

At the company’s TechEd conference, Microsoft officials talked about giving customers agility in creating applications and providing services for their constituents and their own businesses. They demonstrated how Microsoft’s application platform can be used to enable customers to collaborate better and to respond more quickly to changes, as in SOAs. Bob Muglia, senior vice president of Microsoft’s Server and Tools Business, called this "dynamic IT."

Separately, at its Rational Software Development Conference June 10-14, IBM will announce a slew of new and enhanced developer tools to help customers not only develop applications faster and better but also help customers better manage and support projects throughout the development life cycle.
