Is this another SunGard victim or a duplicate story. Hard to remember.

A laptop containing personally identifiable information was stolen from a SunGard Higher Education employee on March 13, 2008.
... “Upon notification of the theft, we commenced a series of diagnostic procedures to determine whether the laptop contained personally identifiable information. [We had no idea what was on that laptop... Bob]
We notified impacted customers of our findings commencing April 9, 2008 [It took us damn near a month to find out what customers were involved... Bob]
Our investigation continues and our security specialists remain focused on analyzing the files to determine if additional individuals or institutions have been affected. [There may be others, we can't tell,,, Bob]
[They also set up an “Incident Specific” web page: http://www.sungardhe.com/custom.aspx?id=1554
... the stolen laptop contained data from projects with a number of customers.
... The nature of that employee’s job included analysis of customer data as part of software implementation and upgrade projects. [“Before we can upgrade the software you have been using with your data, we'll need a copy of your data to see if it works with our software.” Isn't that what they are saying? Bob]
Oh, so that's okay then? What a great addition to management science!

Whole Foods says SEC concludes message board probe
Fri Apr 25, 5:36 PM ET
Whole Foods Market (WFMI.O) said on Friday that Securities and Exchange Commission staffers have concluded a probe into its chief executive's anonymous Web chat room messages about then-rival Wild Oats Markets and recommended no action be taken.
Whole Foods said in July 2007 it had received an SEC inquiry related CEO John Mackey's anonymous postings on a Yahoo Inc chat forum. Mackey for years used an alias when he posted positive comments about Whole Foods and critical comments about rival Wild Oats, which his company later acquired.
Is this an indication that the story is going mainstream or is it just “one of those funny articles?”

Business Week Takes On the RIAA

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes
"Business Week magazine has gone medieval on the RIAA, recounting in grisly detail the cruel ordeal to which the RIAA has subjected a completely innocent defendant, Tanya Andersen of Oregon. Nobody can read the story and come to any other conclusion than that the RIAA and its lawyers are total jerks. Of course we've been reading about Atlantic v. Andersen on p2pnet.net and on my blog, and discussing it here, but there's something extra special about a mainstream publication like Business Week really letting them have it."
Another one of those “it's free, so it can't possibly succeed” type of sites?
