BSA and IDC Global Software Piracy Study reveals increase in global piracy

The Business Software Alliance (BSA), the international association established by the software industry to promote a safe and legal digital world, has announced that it has recently released the Fifth Annual BSA and IDC Global Software Piracy Study, which revealed the biggest increase in global piracy in four years, jumping by three percentage points to 38 per cent in 2007. BSA has emphasised that the rapid growth of the IT industry in countries with weak copyright enforcement and expanding internet access have largely contributed to the global trend.

Tropical species are accustomed to living in a small temperature range and thus may be unable to cope with changes of even a few degrees.

Case Study: ASG Software Solutions Utilizes Global Crossing IP VPN and Applauds Provider's Customer Support

This IDC Buyer Case Study details ASG's relationship with Global Crossing. ASG purchases IP VPN services from Global Crossing to connect sites in North America, Europe, and Asia. Not only does ASG run VoIP and video conferencing services over its IP VPN network, but it also relies on Global Crossing to coordinate local country access and voice connectivity where possible. This document highlights key points that have shaped ASG's impression of Global Crossing, particularly those that relate to customer service, an attribute that is being aggressively touted by carriers as a competitive differentiator.

Germany Hosts Global Conference on Biological Diversity - Promoting a Global Response for Addressing the Unprecedented Loss of Biodiversity

Nairobi/Montreal / Bonn, 8 May 2008 - "Renewing agricultural diversity of crops and livestock backed by a functional natural support system is the international community's best long-term solution to meet the global food challenge,"said Ahmed Djoghlaf, Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity prior to the start of the global conference on biodiversity on 19 May 2008 in Bonn, Germany.

Fat People Cause Global Warming, Higher Food Prices

Stating the obvious: "Two scientists write that obese people are disproportionately responsible for high food prices and greenhouse gas emissions because they consume 18% more food energy due to their greater body mass -- and require increased quantities of fuel to transport themselves and the food they eat. 'Promotion of a normal distribution of BMI would reduce the global demand for, and thus the price of, food,' write the authors, Phil Edwards and Ian Roberts of the evocatively named London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine."
