Sounds like he was doing exactly the same as the big players. Making bogus orders to promote a false value in a 'product', waiting for a large rush of buys, then selling before anyone else had time to respond. Exactly the same as the big players, except he didn't bribe the requisite politicians or have the requisite friends at the SEC.

Notice the desperate attempt to seem relevent by putting an 'i' in front of the title. In case you haven't noticed already, despite Microsofts best efforts and with a virtual monopoly on the Desktop, they still can't get people to use BING, having to rely on litigation instead.

You mean Google won't allow Microsoft to scrape content, like for example they do with Wikipedia. some time ago Microsoft was even caught scraping Google search results and 'incorperating' it into Bing.

Are we going to end up with the Chinese buying games consoles in order to source their microprocessors, like Gaddafi was rumoured to do or will they move to AMD's Opteron. Seriously, I fail to understand such a ban unless Intel was late in bribing, I mean donating to the Washington lobbying sector.

I would ask anyone in developing connected devices. What happened the last time you tried to hack your own device? And if the answer is you haven't even tried then most definitely you've learned nothing about security. If the underlying OS can't prevent hackers walking all over your memory then it's GAME OVER...

How about encrypting the data and using PKI over VPN with a full irrevocable audit trail. The keys being stored on a portable hardware token.
