Rediculous concept if you ask me. You're being paid to work... arguably as a University employee she is not being paid very much and what she does barely constitutes work:)
But in principle when you're at work you are not on their own time, you _belong_ to the employer while at the office.
Where does this stop? If my wife comes to the office at lunchtime can I insist my office mates give me some privacy and look the other way while we "get it on" on the floor of my cube?
You say the own the IPR to the G-Mail webbased email. IPR suggests patents and the like, do you mean the own the trademark?
I'd read the article, but I'm too lazy. Besides I have to go check my GoogleMail.
It just opens a small window that's sufficiently small to be obscured by the dialog box. But this is old news, it's been an issue since Netscape first added target="_blank" and javascript.
Though as I recall, they were smart enough in the old days to prevent the newly opened window from being really small. They also prevented it from being moved off-screen. Don't know if that's possible these days or not.

If the (American) copyright owners can mobilize Finnish shops to sell the music and Finnish consumers to buy the music, why is it suprising that Finnish police cannot be mobilized too?

Gosh darn it! I thought I was the first one to come up with this idea.
Actually I took it one step further. I combined my previous brilliant idea (Controlling Zombies Anonymously Via Google - http://sagar.org/malbot/.
This is what I came us with: Building a Better Phishing Rod (http://sagar.org/malbot/building_a_better_phishin g_rod.pdf)
Sorry it's a PDF, I was in the process of drafting it this week before tweaking to HTML. How could I have known CNN would cover 'my invention'.
Is there any way we can turn this into a I told you Perl was better than PHP debate :-D
