Dozens of Ohio State University fans have had their credit-card numbers stolen after ordering merchandise from the Buckeye Corner online.

Customers who placed online orders at www.buckeyecorner.com between June 19 and June 26 have called to report fraudulent charges on their credit cards, said Bruce Harlan, the local chain's chief executive.

Harlan said his company isn't the source of the problem.

MediaDefender Denies Entrapment Accusations

Posted by Zonk on Saturday July 07, @07:24PM from the all-above-board-of-course dept. The Courts The Internet

Ortega-Starfire writes "We've previously discussed the subject of MediaDefender setting up a site to catch movie pirates. Ars Technica covers the response from MediaDefender, which basically states the entire thing was a mistake and was only an internal site they forgot to password protect, and that they were not using this with the MPAA. The article asks: 'If this is true, why did MediaDefender immediately remove all contact information from the whois registry for the domain? Saaf said that after everything hit the fan, the company decided to take everything on the site down because it was afraid of a hacker attack or "people sending us spam." Yes, spam. The MPAA's Elizabeth Kaltman also chimed in to say that they had no involvement with MiiVi: "The MediaDefender story is false. We have no relationship with that company at all," she told Ars.'"

Find Freeware Apps for Your Flash Drive

Filed under: Computing-Software

I bought my first flash drive in 2003. It was 32MB and I think it cost me about $150. Now you can buy 1GB drives for $15 if you look hard. And they’re so useful! Even more useful if you have some applications on them that you can run from the drive. That’s where PortableFreeware comes in, at http://www.portablefreeware.com/ .
