Compaq: a very special Christmas:

Compaq offered investors some good news this morning, announcing it had inked two IT service and technology deals, one with defense contractor Raytheon for $200 million to $250 million and one with Swedish cell phone maker Ericsson for $150 million. The deals are a coup for the company, which won them away from Dell Computer and, ironically, Hewlett-Packard.

Ibuprofen cancels aspirin's effect on heart

BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) -- The popular pain reliever ibuprofen blocks the heart-protecting effects of aspirin, according to a study that sounds a warning for people who take both medicines.

"It would not do you a lot of good to take one medication only to have another wipe out its effects," said Dr. Muredach Reilly, a University of Pennsylvania cardiologist who took part in the 30-patient study reported in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine. The study was funded partly by the National Institutes of Health and aspirin maker Bayer.

Kazaa plays on despite threat of fines

HILVERSUM, Netherlands--Nearly a week after a court-ordered deadline to institute anti-piracy controls, the operator of Kazaa, a popular file-swapping network, is continuing to negotiate with copyright holders over its fate.

In a decision last month, Judge Orobio de Castro told the network to block customers from trading illegal files by Dec. 13 or pay a $45,000 a day fine. As of now, however, the service has not altered its business practices, company attorney Christiaan Alberdingk Thijm said Thursday. The service was developed by Netherlands-based FastTrack.

"You could derive from that, that the negotiations have went in a such a way that for now no fines have to be paid," he said.

Game makers face "Rings" rivalry

It might not be as colorful as Sauron vs. Gandalf, but a battle is shaping up in the game industry over "The Lord of the Rings."

Electronic Arts announced Wednesday that it has secured rights to produce video games based on the "Rings" series of films, which opened Wednesday with "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring." EA said in a statement that it plans to have its first "Rings" game on the market late next year, to tie in with the release of the second film of the series, "The Two Towers."

Microsoft sues Linux start-up over name

Microsoft asked a court on Thursday to stop a Linux start-up from using a name the software giant contends infringes on the Windows trademark.

The Redmond, Wash.-based software giant filed a motion with the U.S. Court for the Western District of Washington against Lindows, which is developing a version of the Linux operating system that will run popular applications written for Microsoft's Windows OS.

Microsoft contends the company, which plans to formally release its product next year, purposely is trying to confuse Lindows with Windows.

Andromeda 1.8.5 is out

For those of you who don't know, Andromeda turns collections of MP3s and other media files (mpg, avi, and many more) into easy-to-use, streaming web sites. It's not exactly a file sharing program; it's really about what you do with your files once you've got them. It's great as a personal jukebox, over local networks, and even over the Internet (bandwidth permitting).
