Google into energy, Flaw in Lotus and Ban on Wikipedia

TechRepublic
To make regular posts to these pages I deduced that it would be far better if I recapitulated the content I found interesting and contributed to on the web. Original ideas rule but don't come to mind every time one has the luxury of a keyboard.
Google going Green
The day heralded the Web Search giant, Google's entry into the renewable energy segment. The company had already made several advances with its push on Hybrid automotive technology but this time it has announced concrete funding for initiatives that will look to produce energy from renewable sources such as solar and wind power. Google is new to energy but a veteran at converting ideas through innovation to products. The company continues to prove that true innovation knows no bounds or more specifically in this case not bounded to any particular business segment. With its coffers over-flowing with Ad dollars, perhaps there is no field of business that is beyond Google's reach.
Coming to think of it, the news feeds that surround the company are always ground breaking. There is the news about Google turning the telecom industry on its head with its bid for spectrum, its mobile software platform Android and perhaps its GPhone. Then there is the news of Google's patent that could make customizable magazines a reality. And then comes the announcement that Google will seek to make a steady revenue from its innovation in the energy efficiency space. As long as the share prices continue to soar, lets hope that the Google brand can breath life into all segments.
IBM Lotus Note Bug
On the security front Core Securities technology recently announced having discovered a major file buffer overflow flaw in several version of IBM's Lotus Notes Software. Buffer OverFlow errors are perhaps the oldest of techniques for injecting executable code into systems. Though the company claimed that the flaw had not been exploited yet, IBM seems to have its tracks covered with appropriate steps to workaround the bug.
Wikipedia : In the line of fire
Finally, Wikipedia makes it to the limelight, albeit, on a low note, facing a ban from schools for being an easy reference point for unverifiable facts. in my article I have reiterated the point that like books, websites are prone to contain false information. But the fact remains that the ease of changing data on web sites makes them an ideal repository for universal knowledge sharing. While Wikipedia should not be used as the sole reference point information, totally banning them seems completely pointless.
