I wonder if you need to change it at all... you would think that there would be a serious burden of proof to the employer if they wanted to enforce this:
the person's "company" existed before the employment agreement;
any work was done on assets belonging to the person's "company";
assumption that the applications developed for the person's "company" are not within the core-business of the Employer; and
the person is not being paid by the Employer for the time spent developing for person's "company".
All this would seem to make it pretty hard to enforce this term of the contract.
Similar questions arise when considering the "can't work for a competitor" clauses are often in employment contracts. Unless the employee is in Senior Management, this type of clause is usually unenforceable.
If the other makers go to a Linux based solution it is still going to take them time to rebuild what they have now, let alone putting in differentiating enhancements. This is either going to be done in isolation or as a collaborative effort (the former taking longer than the latter). If the solution ends up being Open, then Nokia may have the ability to pick and choose which ever of the 2 ends up being best.
The other side of it is that Nokia may have development plans for the OS that they have no interest in sharing with the others. If the consortium is holding back innovation (at least from Nokia's perspective), there may be a flood of new features coming our way.
If the rumour is true, I'd be very surprised if the story comes from any of the books that cover the Extended Universe.
In order to make money from things like Hyperspace, he'd have to have a fresh (not to be confused with good) story that he could keep secret. If he used the Zahn books, all the talk would be fear over whether or not Lucas was going to ruin the story.
Using fresh story lines would keep the fan networks paying subscriptions hoping against hope for something unique and epic.
Obscurity is the only thing keeping RFID tags from being insecure at this moment.
With a credit card, the user has a certain amount of control over who gets exposure to the card. You may not notice the Gas Attendant swiping your card through a second card reader, but at least your aware of where the cards been (unless its been stolen) and that this type of attack could take place if you don't watch the individual closely.
With these tags, the user is not necessarily aware of when they may or may not have been activated. If some bright hack (not that I'm challenging anyone) should place a transceiver on top of a gas pump, next to a grocery store entrance, etc. for a few days to collect tag signatures, you've been compromised. As exploits of this nature have (to the best of my knowledge) yet to be employed/published, "security through obscurity" is achieved.
I have to echo a certain amount of the previous posters skepticism.
I understand the concept of studying all of these various "snapshots" in time that show us what happened at thre far reaches of our universe billions of years ago, but I've never understood how astronomers can make such "matter of fact" claims when the amount of change that we've been able to observe in these windows to the past seem so statistically irrelevant (i.e. 100 years out of 100 trillion years).
Who's to say that light from thousands of new stars that were formed long ago won't reach Earth for the first time today.
The vastness of time and space is mind-blowing. It just seems silly to claim that these theories are anything more than best guesses.
How can they call this a Party!

If I had to guess, the lack of documentation is probably the biggest reason why this was done at an EAL2+. This doesn't mean that the product is worse than Windows, it just means that the sponsor (IBM) wasn't willing to pay the extra money (for testing and document generation) required to meet EAL4+. As well, this is only a 1st step as IBM's press release says they will be going to CAPP/EAL3+ across the IBM eServer product line.
Keep in mind that currently it is fairly useless for a commercial organization to go after a rating higher that EAL4+. The Common Criteria Recognition Agreement (CCRA) does not yet support anything above this level. Thus if an EAL7 is achieved in Germany, it will not be recognized in the US.
With all of the new wireless-enabled cars that are due to come out (like Daimler-Chrysler's UConnect) and emerging hacking tools like Redfang it's getting scary to drive a car.
