Intel And Lenovo Team Up For Anti-Theft Technology

centerimg title="Intel And Lenovo Team Up For Anti-Theft Technology" style="MARGIN: 0px" alt="Intel And Lenovo Team Up For Anti-Theft Technology" src="http://www.ubergizmo.com/photos/2008/12/lenovo-thinkpad-t400.jpg" border="0" //centerbr / pComputer manufacturer Lenovo has joined forces with Intel and security-software publisher Absolute Software to develop a program that will see future selected Lenovo laptops come equipped with anti-theft technology. We aren't talking about a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2008/11/new_lenovo_security_feature_locks_down_thinkpads.html"sending a text message to lockdown the laptop/a, but will focus on Intel's Anti-Theft PC Protection hardware instead. Being part of the vPro Technology component of the Centrino 2 platform, this special hardware will empower specially equipped Lenovo T400 14.1" laptops with subscriptions to Absolute's Computrace security-software service. The IT admin has the power to choose to configure the anti-theft technology to lock an individual laptop if it fails to "check in" over the internet to the Absolute Monitoring Center within a specified period of time, and if the laptop has been reported as stolen, the admin can designate it to be locked instantly. Those who choose not to pick up a Computrace subscription, the Intel Anti-Theft PC Protection hardware still works great by locking a laptop after a predetermined number of failed password attempts. Expect to see the first batch of security-enhanced T400s will ship later this December./P pPermalink: a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2008/12/intel_and_lenovo_team_up_for_antitheft_technology.html"Intel And Lenovo Team Up For Anti-Theft Technology/a from Ubergizmo (a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com"US/a, a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/fr"FR/a) | a href="http://www.uberbargain.com/"Good deals/a | Hot: a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2008/11/blackberry_storm_review.html"Storm Review/a/p pmap name="google_ad_map_081202172052" area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/081202172052?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28"/ area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23"//map img usemap="#google_ad_map_081202172052" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_imgamp;client=ca-pub-7335032025195922amp;channel=9684588219amp;output=pngamp;cuid=081202172052amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubergizmo.com%2F15%2Farchives%2F2008%2F12%2Fintel_and_lenovo_team_up_for_antitheft_technology.html"//p pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/iQfFegALK1uSoX9RBWlfkhHX1eA/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/iQfFegALK1uSoX9RBWlfkhHX1eA/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=YHE9026O"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=Lbshma5E"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=Lbshma5E" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=UUU5W562"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?d=52" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=fBOH8jPo"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=fBOH8jPo" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?a=BaR9ya0H"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/ubergizmo?i=BaR9ya0H" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ubergizmo/~4/VlIla4Si-88" height="1" width="1"/

Another Bogus Yahoo Takeover Story - The WSJ Gets It Wrong, And This Time People Lost Money

TechCrunch

- 38 minutes ago

Today’s Wall Street Journal story talking about yet another takeover attempt of Yahoo is incorrect, say our own sources. And unlike The Times’ story over the weekend, which was equally fictitious, this story had direct consequences in the market.

Today’s story as former AOL CEO Jonathan Miller out pitching private equity funds to raise “$28 billion to $30 billion” to acquire all of Yahoo.

Miller, along with his partner Ross Levinsohn at Velocity Interactive Group, were also center stage in The Times’ story over the weekend.

Our sources say that while Miller and Levinsohn have been talking to Yahoo and Microsoft executives and shareholders for months about Yahoo’s future (and at different times both Miller and Levinsohn have been proposed as Yahoo board members), they have not had any serious discussions with private equity funds about raising capital to take over the company.

The two, along with their other partners at Velocity, have been busy trying to raise a new $300 million fund over the last year anyway. And so far, we understand, they’ve only received commitments for $150 million. So trying to simultaneously raise $30 billion to take over Yahoo seems more than far fetched.

Another reason the story makes no sense - Levinsohn is bound by a non compete agreement with AOL that prohibits him from serving as an employee or board member to certain companies, including Yahoo. In fact, that non compete agreement is the reason Miller couldn’t join Yahoo’s board this last summer. The agreement doesn’t terminate until March, so any near term deal is impossible without AOL’s explicit consent. They wouldn’t give it last summer, and there’s no reason to believe they’d give it now.

Velocity won’t say much about the story, other than to comment that the WSJ made no real effort to contact them for comment before the story was published.

Our sources, combined with basic common sense, tell us the WSJ story is dead wrong. And there were consequences to the story - Yahoo’s stock jumped 11.7% today on the the incorrect news, before settling back down for the day. People lost money, and the SEC should be very interested in whoever was the source for this story.
