When it comes to security, Android is the new Windows

For decades, it’s been conventional wisdom that Windows PCs are more vulnerable to attacks and malware than computers running the Mac OS. There’s been some argument over whether that was primarily due to inherent, structural security weaknesses or simply because Windows’ dominant market share makes it a bigger, juicier, more lucrative target for hackers.Whatever. There’s plenty of truth to the thought that Windows was more vulnerable than Macs, especially with earlier versions of the Microsoft operating system.But even as Windows security seems to be improving, the rise of mobile computing means the Windows/Mac security rivalry is no longer top of mind for many people. The biggest issue now concerns mobile security on iOS and Android devices, and once again Apple’s (relatively) walled garden appears to create a safer world than the more open environment of its more popular rival.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Microsoft details post-LinkedIn plans to EU

Antitrust regulators at the European Union like to make American firms jump through an awful lot of hoops before approving a big merger, as they did to Oracle when it spent nine months trying to acquire Sun Microsystems back in 2009. Now they are doing it to Microsoft over its proposed $26.2 billion acquisition of LinkedIn. Earlier this month, regulators expressed concerns to Microsoft that it would stifle access to LinkedIn's APIs and other mobile concerns.
