EMI is first major label group to make concerts, music videos available on Hulu

Los Angeles, EMI Music has reached an agreement with Hulu, an online video service that offers hit TV shows, movies and clips at Hulu.com and other online destination sites — anytime in the U.S., making EMI the first major music company to offer concerts and music videos from its artists to Hulu viewers. The deal, which will include content from artists on EMI's labels including Virgin, Capitol and Blue Note, begins today with exclusive content from Norah Jones, whose highly-anticipated new album, The Fall debuts this week.

The Norah Jones page on Hulu is available at www.hulu.com and will feature multiple concerts in their entirety, including her show at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, which featured guests Dolly Parton and Gillian Welch. Also available is the entire repertoire of Norah Jones music videos, including her latest, Chasing Pirates, videos from her 2007 release, Not Too Late, as well as those from quadruple platinum 2004 release Feels Like Home and her landmark debut album, Come Away With Me. An interview with Jones is available on the Hulu blog: http://blog.hulu.com.

"We think Hulu is an excellent, high-quality environment and a great place to connect with fans. We look forward to making more content available from other artists as well," said Ronn Werre, President, EMI Music Services and COO, EMI Music North America. "We're delighted to add Hulu to the growing number of platforms EMI is working with to give fans more of what they're looking for."

Since the release of her debut album Come Away With Me in 2002, Norah has become one of the most influential and biggest-selling artists of the decade, reaching the #1 spot in the US and across the globe for each of her three previous albums, racking up a staggering 37 million in sales worldwide, and receiving 9 Grammy Awards.

The Fall, which is being released this week around the world, finds Jones experimenting with a new set of collaborators, including Jacquire King, a noted producer and engineer who has worked with Kings of Leon, Tom Waits, and Modest Mouse among others. Jones enlisted several songwriting collaborators, including Ryan Adams and Okkervil River's Will Sheff, as well as her frequent partner Jesse Harris. King also helped Jones put together a new group of musicians to perform on the album, including drummers Joey Waronker (Beck, R.E.M.) and James Gadson (Bill Withers), keyboardist James Poyser (Erykah Badu, Al Green), and guitarists Marc Ribot (Tom Waits, Elvis Costello) and Smokey Hormel (Johnny Cash, Joe Strummer).

Dallas, Texas, Good little boys and girls across the country can text their holiday wish-list to Santa and track Santa's sleigh journey faster than ever this year, thanks to the bearded man in red and some of his helpers, including AT&T.* According to the North Pole, Santa has decided to use the latest digital tools to spread holiday cheer through a holiday texting campaign and a special app on AT&T U-verseSM TV.

AT&T customers who text SANTA to 1224 between now and Dec. 24 will receive an invitation from jolly old St. Nick himself to text back their wish-lists for this holiday season. Thanks to a special agreement between Santa and AT&T, text messages sent to this short code – and the reply text messages from Santa – will be offered at no charge.

Families can also keep up with Santa and enjoy holiday fun for the whole family with a new interactive Santa Tracker app and on-demand holiday entertainment on AT&T U-verse TV. This year, U-verse TV families will be able to visit the North Pole and follow Santa's every move on Christmas Eve with Santa Tracker. The app is now available to all U-verse TV and High Speed Internet customers at no extra charge on channel 98 for the holiday season.

'If you think Santa and the elves are fast at making toys, you should see them texting! It was clearly the season to go digital,' said Susan Bean, North Pole representative for Santa Claus. 'We wanted to give children out there more ways than ever to send Santa their wish-lists and watch what's going on at the North Pole. So when AT&T offered to make it easy for their customers to text the North Pole and keep dibs on the crew on U-verse TV, we knew we had to jump on it.'

With Santa Tracker, families will be able to read bios for Santa's reindeer; get holiday arts and crafts project ideas; play sing-a-longs for popular holiday music; read facts about the North Pole; play 'Gingerbread Man' and 'Repeat' holiday games; and view a countdown to Christmas Eve. You will also be able to vote on whether your family deserves a visit from Santa in the 'Naughty and Nice' poll, and you can see instant polling results from other U-verse TV families. And on Christmas Eve, you can watch live reports from the Santa News Network to see if Santa has left the North Pole and track his sleigh as he travels around the globe.

AT&T U-verse TV also has a new 'Happy Holiday Movies' section in the On Demand library featuring classic holiday movies. The movies range from $2 to $7 per rental, and are available in Standard Definition (SD), High Definition (HD) or both. From Dec. 14 through Dec. 20, U-verse TV customers can get $1 off their rental of 'Nothing Like the Holidays' by entering coupon code '15001' for SD and '115001' for HD in the Offers On Demand app on channel 199.

For details on how to keep up with Santa this holiday, tips and hot deals on gifts that don't come from the North Pole, and ways to personalize your wireless experience, AT&T invites you to visit www.att.com/holidaygifts — especially if you have made Santa's 'Nice' list.

Will Be Central Themes of Campaign

TOKYO, JAPAN, Panasonic Corporation, the Official Worldwide Olympic Partner in the Audio and Visual Equipment category for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, announced plans for a multi-faceted marketing campaign that will focus on the launch of its new FULL HD 3D Home Theater technology as well as an online social networking contest and sponsorship of a variety of environmental initiatives with VANOC.

Full HD 3D Home Theater Pavilion

Panasonic plans to bring to market its ground-breaking Full HD 3D Home Theater products in 2010. In Vancouver, Panasonic will feature the Panasonic FULL HD 3D Theater Pavilion at David Lam Park. The 700 m2 corporate pavilion will be open throughout the Olympic Games (February 12 to 28) in cooperation with the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC), the City of Vancouver and Canada's Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium -- the official Canadian broadcaster of the 2010 Winter Games.

The highlight of the pavilion will be Panasonic's world-first FULL HD 3D Plasma Home Theater System which will allow visitors to experience the immersive world of 3D entertainment through a variety of sports and entertainment videos shown in FULL HD 3D movie-theater quality.

Panasonic has been contributing to the Olympic Games with its state-of-the-art digital AV technologies since the Calgary 1988 Olympic Winter Games. The company, who recently extended its commitment to global sponsorship through 2016, will demonstrate in Vancouver the future of at-home Olympic Games viewing by displaying its Full HD 3D technology to the the public in Vancouver.

Following the initial announcement in January 2009 of plans to create a FULL HD 3D Plasma Home Theater System* using a 103-inch Plasma and 3D Blu-ray Disc player, Panasonic recently announced a 50-inch FULL HD 3D Plasma Home Theater System in September 2009. It also has been developing professional 3D production systems to improve the production environment and make it easier for content creators to create more 3D programming for consumers.

"One Winter, Five Dreams" Online Contest

On November 2, Panasonic launched a blog entitled "One Winter, Five Dreams" within its global Olympic Games web site featuring five athletes who are striving to win a place at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games. Using videos and photos, the five athletes will blog about their highly unique experiences including their daily training, pre-Olympic events and their passion as they pursue their dreams of becoming an Olympian. Readers can post messages on the blog to help encourage and support each of the athletes with one fan blogger winning a trip to the Vancouver Olympic Games as the 'Gold Blogger' to cheer on them at the venues.

The five athletes include Robel Teklemariam (men's cross-country skiing, Ethiopia), Clyde Getty (men's freestyle skiing, Argentina), Tugba Karademir (ladies figure skating, Turkey), Katharine Eustace (women's skeleton, New Zealand) and Kazuhiro Koshi (men's skeleton, Japan). Their blogs appear at http://5dreams.panasonic.net

VANOC Sustainability Video Contest

VANOC has made sustainability one of the main themes of the 2010 Winter Games, taking measures to reduce the environmental impacts of the Games. Panasonic supports the goals of VANOC's sustainability-focused operations and will implement various environmental programs during the Olympic Games.

A centerpiece of Panasonic's support for VANOC's environmental initiatives is a co-sponsorship of the Do Your Part – VANOC Sustainability Video Contest aimed at Canadian youth aged 13-24. The contest, promoted jointly by VANOC, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the Government of Canada, will make use of Panasonic's long-term Kid Witness News (KWN) program – a hands-on video educational program started in 1989 -- in order to encourage interaction and environmental activities by children in Canada and around the world through the making of videos.

Panasonic will also cooperate with VANOC and the Official Carbon Offset Supplier, Offsetters, to contribute to VANOC's goal of having a "Carbon-Neutral Olympic Games" by offsetting 416 tons of CO2 emissions, the estimated total amount of CO2 released from various activities Panasonic will carry out during the period of the Games.

Rippol Helps Users Discover, Watch and Share Online Video Using Real-Time Social Network Interaction, Social Impact and Intelligent Learning Technology

San Francisco, Calif., Nov. 20, 2009 — Rippol™ today announced its company launch with an Intelligent Video Discovery Engine,™ leveraging the power of social impact and intelligent machine learning to enhance video discovery. Rippol was designed to help people discover, watch and share online video content in real-time, so that it's always easy to quickly find something good to watch.

Rippol enables users to stream video from sources all over the web including Revision3, Hulu, CNN, Fox, Amazon, MSNBC, Netflix, Joost, YouTube, Justin.TV, Last.Fm, MTV and other content providers. Users can filter, search or have tailored content suggestions selected for them by Rippol's Intelligent Discovery Engine.

Integration with other social networks including Facebook and Twitter enable users to chat, share links and suggest content to their extended social networks in real-time. A detachable HD video player enables users to pop the video window out of Rippol's site and position anywhere on their computer screen, with the ability to create video playlists, push content recommendations out to social networks and educate the system based on likes and dislikes.

The Problem – An Ocean of Content, What Should I watch?
Between the explosion of user-generated clips on YouTube, the major studios and networks making their content available online and the huge amount of professional content being developed specifically for the web, there is an endless amount of video to be consumed online. The problem is sifting through it all to find videos that you actually want to watch.
Currently, most online video content lies behind the walled gardens of each specific media company or content provider's site, requiring the web video viewer to visit several different web properties to find a certain show or genre of programming.
Google and Bing Video serve as good key word search tools if you know what you're looking for, but you won't find clever links to all content you personally want to watch. There are content providers out there like Netflix and Hulu that aggregate a massive amount of content. However it can be a major time sink for a person to find videos to watch if they don't know exactly what they'd like to see.
The current techniques used for sorting video based on parameters like 'most viewed' or 'recently added' provides a lack of consideration for individual tastes and preferences.

The Butterfly Effect Network™ – Social Discovery through Intelligent Learning
To address this problem, we've engineered Rippol as a tool that provides the crucial missing piece in the current online video landscape: an intelligent engine capable of providing a unique discovery experience for each individual viewer, rather than a homogeneous experience for all visitors to the site.
We observed that when people do watch a new TV show, movie or video clip, it's usually because a friend, family member or colleague either spoke about it, emailed it, tweeted about or posted a link or update on Facebook. We recognized that this power of social influence was one of the primary factors in driving people to step outside of the comfort zone of what they're familiar with and discover new content to watch.
'Rippol shifts the discovery experience so that instead of people seeking out content, now content finds the right people,' said Aaron Crayford, founder and CEO of Rippol. 'The Internet has enabled a new medium of interactive viewing, The Intervision, where it's all about the individual and what they personally want to watch. Rippol's Intelligent Discovery Engine analyzes the end user's social depth, the 3rd dimension that is found in The Intervision, to push content out to people based on what they like or would most likely want to be aware of.'
Rippol is unique in the content discovery space in that it uses advanced machine learning technology to process a huge amount of information about each specific end user in real-time. This system of proprietary real-time ranking algorithms is called The Butterfly Effect Network™.
Every video a user watches, rates and reviews affects The Butterfly Effect Network, which changes the order they and others connected to them see content in real-time. The Butterfly Effect Network cross references videos similar to what the user likes and has watched with the habits and opinions of their friends and demographics. Given that information, the network thinks about what the user might like best in that exact moment and then presents them with content ranked relative to their anticipated interests.
The Butterfly Effect Network helps users discover new content they might not otherwise know about and become more aware of the content that is being watched or discussed within their social circles. As users interact and educate the algorithm based on likes and dislikes, the system is able to continually improve the quality and relevance of suggested content.
About Rippol
Rippol is an intelligent video discovery engine to help people discovery video they'd like to watch among the ocean of video online. Rippol is a private company, founded in April, 2009 which can be found online at www.rippol.com

People from as far away as New Zealand participated in Kennedy's first Tweetup, an event where bloggers meet face-to-face and share their experiences in 140 character online bursts. During the two-day event Twitter users, or Tweeps, took behind-the-scenes tours of Kennedy, spoke at length with NASA astronauts, technicians, engineers and managers, and saw a launch from the vantage point usually reserved for more traditional media.

"We were very excited by the extraordinary number of people from all over the world who participated," said Lori Garver, NASA's deputy administrator. "NASA will continue to evolve with the social media environment and look for new ways to engage the public and spread the word about the tremendous things we do."

The Tweetup, identified by the search term #nasatweetup, was the third highest trending topic Nov. 15 on the social networking service. The micro-blogs, or tweets, are text-based Internet posts that are delivered to the author's subscribers. The more than 100 people in attendance had over 150,000 followers. As people share and forward the information, the potential online reach could be in the millions.

People from 21 states and the District of Columbia attended, as did guests who flew from Canada, England, Morocco and New Zealand. Participants ranged in age from 18 to more than 60, with most being under age 40. NASA Television also streamed video of Tweetup events online where more than 7,500 viewers watched the events prior to launch.

"The way people are communicating and receiving information is undergoing a global revolution," said Morrie Goodman, NASA's assistant administrator for Public Affairs. "NASA is a recognized leader in adopting social media and this is another exciting 'first' for the agency."

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory held the first NASA Tweetup on Jan. 21. NASA Headquarters held its first Tweetup on July 21, followed by another from Headquarters Sept. 24 that featured the STS-127 space shuttle crew. On Oct. 21, NASA held a smaller Tweetup, allowing 35 Tweeps to talk with Nicole Stott and Jeff Williams aboard the International Space Station via a live downlink.

In April, Mike Massimino (@Astro_Mike) became NASA's first astronaut to tweet. Astro_Mike reached 1 million Twitter followers on Sept. 23. He sent his first tweet from space while flying on the STS-125 Hubble servicing mission in May. Since then, 12 other NASA astronauts have set up Twitter accounts. You can follow them individually or through the NASA Astronauts Twitter account at:

With Post-Newsweek Stations including KPRC (Houston); WDIV (Detroit); WPLG (Miami-Fort Lauderdale); WKMG (Orlando); KSAT (San Antonio); and WJXT (Jacksonville) working in a centralized graphics hub environment, the addition of AXIS maps was a good selection, providing news producers with the ability to create localized graphics utilizing templates at their desktop.

Design Hub Director Felicia Steiger said, 'The online aspect of AXIS is very appealing because there is no additional equipment to purchase or install. AXIS maps allows for map customization; banner design; and road and land colors, all of which can be stylized to match clients' on-air graphic package.

'The core benefit is placing control directly into the hands of the person telling the story. It's the producer who controls the parameters of map creation based on the specifics of their story. From an artist's perspective, AXIS maps removes the 'producer mind reading quotient'; that is, a producer gets what a producer wants and determines the elevation and reference points necessary to tell the story, rather than relying on an artist's interpretation of the information provided. For example, in a multi-city hub environment, AXIS maps provides the tools for producers familiar with local roads to produce maps that are more finely tuned to their story. We are very pleased with the product.'

Chyron CEO Michael Wellesley-Wesley added, 'We are delighted that the Post-Newsweek Stations have adopted AXIS maps for their broadcasts. Because of the online nature of AXIS, users are finding that cycle time from creation to air is drastically reduced and productivity is greatly enhanced. It is clear that AXIS online services will continue to play an increasingly vital role in the future of graphics production for television broadcasters, both on-air and on-line.'

According to a recent report commissioned by Becta into parent teacher relationships, forty-two percent of teaching staff said they feel these parents lack the confidence to approach them to discuss their child and forty-three percent even admit that parents might find them 'difficult to approach sometimes'.

Becta is the government agency aiming to promote and achieve the productive and innovative use of technology throughout the teaching and learning process. The Schools & Parents: A New Partnership report is part of the 'Next Generation Learning' campaign, which encourages parents to contact their child's school in order to establish how and if technology is already being used, and how it can improve communications between them and their child's school in future.

Becta's report also reveals that fifty-nine percent of parents admit to being in contact with their child's school just once a term or less with more than twenty-two percent of this number saying they did not see how being in regular contact with their child's school has any benefit for their child. A large majority (67 percent) of school staff questioned said that these parents simply do not realise how important parental support is to their child's development. Even though it has been proved in numerous studies that parental involvement is key to a child's educational success, it seems that many parents just aren't aware of how important their role is.

Sixty percent of teachers questioned believe the reason some parents are not in regular contact with them is because they think their job stops at the school gates. This is backed up by some parents who say they rarely get in contact with their child's school because they believe teachers should be in charge of their child's education.

The comprehensive study also highlights the vast majority (54 percent) of school staff involved said they thought parents were just too busy to engage with their child's school but only eight percent of parents say the reason they don't get in touch regularly is because they 'struggle to find time', suggesting that there are other factors behind their lack of engagement.

Drawing on observations from NASA's Mars missions, the "Be a Martian" Web site will enable the public to participate as citizen scientists to improve Martian maps, take part in research tasks, and assist Mars science teams studying data about the Red Planet.

"We're at a point in history where everyone can be an explorer," said Doug McCuistion, director of the Mars Exploration Program at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "With so much data coming back from Mars missions that are accessible by all, exploring Mars has become a shared human endeavor. People worldwide can expand the specialized efforts of a few hundred Mars mission team members and make authentic contributions of their own."

Participants will be able to explore details of the solar system's grandest canyon, which resides on Mars. Users can call up images in the Valles Marineris canyon before moving on to chart the entire Red Planet. The collaboration of thousands of participants could assist scientists in producing far better maps, smoother zoom-in views, and make for easier interpretation of Martian surface changes.

By counting craters, the public also may help scientists determine the relative ages of small regions on Mars. In the past, counting Martian craters has posed a challenge because of the vast numbers involved. By contributing, Web site users will win game points assigned to a robotic animal avatar they select.

With a common goal of inspiring digital-age workforce development and life-long learning in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, NASA and Microsoft unveiled the Web site at the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles this week. The site also beckons software developers to win prizes for creating tools that provide access to and analysis of hundreds of thousands of Mars images for online, classroom and Mars mission team use.

"Industry leaders like NASA and Microsoft have a social responsibility as well as a vested interest in advancing science and technology education," said Walid Abu-Hadba, corporate vice president of the Developer and Platform Evangelism Group at Microsoft. "We are excited to be working with NASA to provide new opportunities to engage with Mars mission data, and to help spark interest and excitement among the next generation of scientists and technologists."

To encourage more public participation, the site also provides a virtual town hall forum where users can expand their knowledge by proposing Mars questions and voting on which are the most interesting to the community. Online talks by Mars experts will address some of the submitted questions. Other features include interactive tools for viewing Martian regions and movies about people who study Mars in diverse ways.

"Mars exploration inspires people of all ages, and we are especially eager to encourage young people to explore Mars for themselves," said Charles Elachi, director of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "We are delighted to be involved in providing the creative opportunity for future explorers to contribute to our understanding of Mars."

"The beauty of this type of experience is that it not only teaches people about Mars and the work NASA is doing there, but it also engages large groups of people to help solve real challenges that computers cannot solve by themselves," said Marc Mercuri, director of business innovation in the Developer and Platform Evangelism Group at Microsoft.

The Mars Exploration Program is managed by JPL for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) announced today the winners of its Norton Cyber Safe Challenge, a national contest spotlighting online safety. The $20,000 Grand Prize was awarded to Signal Hill Elementary in Voorhees, N.J. for securing the highest number of parents who agreed to take the Challenge and registered for Norton's free online safety service, OnlineFamily.Norton.

More than 500 schools across the country competed in the Norton Cyber Safe Challenge, which began on October 1, to coincide with National Cyber Security Awareness Month, and ended on November 15. The Challenge encouraged parents to protect their kids from Internet dangers by signing up for OnlineFamily.Norton, a unique online family safety solution that fosters dialogue between parents and kids about their activities on the Internet.

Second and third place prizes of $10,000 and $5,000 were presented to the Academy for Science and Design in Merrimack, N.H. and the Academy Elementary in Westminster, Colo. for registering the highest percentage of parents relative to school size.

With everything from games to virtual worlds to homework assignments all online, kids are spending more time navigating the Internet and many parents are struggling to keep up. In fact, according to the 2009 Norton Online Living Report, almost half of online parents in the U.S. (47%) have reprimanded their child for doing something online they don't approve of.

'Parents need to take the necessary steps to protect their children from online threats,' said Marian Merritt, Norton's Internet Safety Advocate. 'We are proud of the parents at Signal Hill Elementary for making the effort to protect their kids online and help their school at the same time. We hope these schools are an inspiration to other parents.'

'All of this started with my efforts to protect my daughter form Internet dangers. I found OnlineFamily.Norton was exactly what I needed so I started telling other parents. Now, most of the children at our school are protected as well,' said Kim Stroemel, president of the Signal Hill Elementary Parent Faculty Association. 'As if that isn't enough, we'll now be able to give our children a new playground with the prize money. The kids will benefit both online and offline.'

OnlineFamily.Norton is a free product that parents can sign up for at http://onlinefamily.norton.com. Parents can also learn more about how to protect their kids online and get valuable tips by visiting the Norton Family Resource Center at www.norton.com/familyresource.

REDMOND, Wash. - Microsoft Corp. today announced a collection of online services that can be attached to its Microsoft Dynamics enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions, including a new Sites Service built on the Windows Azure platform, a new Commerce Service, and an expansion of its Payment Service. In addition, the company revealed that its Microsoft Dynamics ERP hosting business has more than doubled in the past year, demonstrating strong uptake by partners to deliver Microsoft Dynamics ERP via on-demand and subscription-based hosting models as well as complementary services.

'Our customers increasingly appreciate the option of moving certain applications and services into the cloud while maintaining an on-premise option for their ERP solution,' said Crispin Read, general manager of Microsoft Dynamics ERP. 'Providing this choice and flexibility is a competitive advantage for us and our partners around the world.'

The Sites Service allows customers to seamlessly create and manage Web sites within the Microsoft Dynamics ERP application. For example, people can easily create landing pages for marketing campaigns, dedicated request for quote sites to get quotes from business partners, sites for product registration information and customer feedback, human resources sites for job recruiting, and sites on anything that the customers would want to reach out to their community on. Sites Service capabilities will include embedded intelligence and optimization models, which provide analytics to help customers make the most of their marketing efforts all within the context of their Microsoft Dynamics ERP application.

Another new service, Commerce, extends multichannel commerce scenarios by providing a link between the ERP products and different e-commerce opportunities such as business-to-consumer e-commerce marketplaces, dedicated e-commerce storefronts or built-in shopping cart functionality. This enables customers to list products and accept orders from a multitude of places, all from one easy-to-use interface.

Lastly, Payment enables customers to process payment transactions from the Microsoft Dynamics ERP interface across multiple channels, including e-commerce, point of sale and call center transactions. The Payment Service currently works with leading payment processing services, including First Data Merchant Services Corporation, for all major credit cards, such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express and PayPal. As part of today's announcement, Microsoft shared that the company has recently signed agreements with CyberSource Corp. and Pensio to provide these services to its ERP customers in the U.S. and Europe, with more agreements forthcoming.

'We are excited to be working closely with Microsoft as it extends its ERP offerings to allow for online capabilities such as payment processing and e-commerce,' said Michael Bolton, partner at Keyora Inc. 'More customers are demanding speed to market. This move by Microsoft can help increase its competitiveness.'

There are now more than 150 partners delivering subscription-based Microsoft Dynamics ERP solutions in geographies around the world, with strong momentum for new partners joining the program.

'The ability to provide Microsoft Dynamics ERP cloud solutions to Microsoft partners worldwide is central to our business strategy,' said Herb Prooy, CEO of SaaSplaza, a Microsoft hosting partner. 'Our partners appreciate the ability to move certain of the customers' applications into the cloud while maintaining an on-premise option or any mix of these. This option protects their current investment while getting them ready for the future, something that other vendors do not provide today. It's been a real competitive advantage for us at SaaSplaza, our partners and their customers as well.'

As further evidence of customers' desire for choice in deployment, Saugatuck Technology Inc., a Westport, Conn.-based research firm focused on emerging and disruptive technologies, revealed that software as a service (SaaS)-based solutions are being increasingly linked with on-premise data, applications and processes through Web services-based integration APIs, such as those contained in Microsoft Dynamics ERP, and that although most SaaS vendors with on-premise and cloud-based offerings will not have interoperating versions, or seamless data compatibility through 2011, Microsoft Dynamics ERP will be among the handful of first-wave 'hybrid' exceptions.*

The new Microsoft Dynamics ERP Sites and Commerce Services are expected to be available in the first half of 2010, with the additional payment service providers available in the first quarter of 2010. More information about the details of Microsoft's online ERP strategy, or the new online services being announced today, can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/en/us/erp-software-plus-services.aspx.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - As cybercriminals begin to take advantage of the holiday season, McAfee, Inc. (NYSE:MFE) today revealed the 'Twelve Scams of Christmas' – the twelve most dangerous online scams that computer users should be cautious of this holiday season. According to Consumer Reports' 2009 State of the Net Survey, cybercriminals have bilked $8 billion from consumers in the past two years, and McAfee warns consumers not to fall victim to the top scams this year.

'Cybercriminals' use their best schemes during the holidays to steal people's money, credit card information, social security number and identity,' said Jeff Green, senior vice president of McAfee Labs. 'These thieves follow seasonal trends and create holiday-related Web sites, scams and other convincing e-mails that can trick even the most cautious users.'

McAfee's Twelve Scams of Christmas

Scam I: Charity Phishing Scams – Be Careful Who You Give To

During the holiday season, hackers take advantage of citizens' generosity by sending e-mails that appear to be from legitimate charitable organizations. In reality, they are fake Web sites designed to steal donations, credit card information and the identities of donors.

Scam II: Fake Invoices from Delivery Services to Steal Your Money

During the holidays, cybercriminals often send fake invoices and delivery notifications appearing to be from Federal Express, UPS or the U.S. Customs Service. They e-mail consumers asking for credit card details to credit back the account, or require users to open an online invoice or customs form to receive the package. Once completed, the person's information is stolen or malware is automatically installed on their computer.

Scam III: Social Networking – A Cybercriminal 'Wants to be Your Friend'

Cybercriminals take advantage of this social time of the year by sending authentic-looking 'New Friend Request' e-mails from social networking sites. Internet users should beware that clicking on links in these e-mails can automatically install malware on computers and steal personal information.

Scam IV: The Dangers of Holiday E-Cards

Cyber thieves cash in on consumers who send holiday e-cards in an effort to be environmentally conscious. Last holiday season, McAfee Labs discovered a worm masked as Hallmark e-cards and McDonald's and Coca-Cola holiday promotions. Holiday-themed PowerPoint e-mail attachments are also popular among cybercriminals. Be careful what you click on.

Scam V: 'Luxury' Holiday Jewelry Comes at a High Price

McAfee Labs recently uncovered a new holiday campaign that leads shoppers to malware-ridden sites offering 'discounted' luxury gifts from Cartier, Gucci, and Tag Heuer. Cybercriminals even use fraudulent logos of the Better Business Bureau to trick shoppers into buying products they never receive.

Scam VI: Practice Safe Holiday Shopping – Online Identity Theft on the Rise

Forrester Research Inc. predicts online holiday sales will increase this year, as more bargain hunters turn to the Web for deals. While users shop and surf on open hotspots, hackers can spy on their activity in an attempt to steal their personal information. McAfee tells users never to shop online from a public computer or on an open Wi-Fi network.

Scam VII: Christmas Carol Lyrics Can Be Dangerous – Risky Holiday Searches

During the holidays, hackers create fraudulent holiday-related Web sites for people searching for a holiday ringtone or wallpaper, Christmas carol lyrics or a festive screensaver. Downloading holiday-themed files may infect one's computer with spyware, adware or other malware. McAfee found one Christmas carol download site that led searchers to adware, spyware and other potentially unwanted programs.

Scam VIII: Out of Work – Job-Related E-mail Scams

The U.S. unemployment rate recently spiked to 10.2 per cent, the highest level since 1983. Scammers are preying on desperate job-seekers in the poor economy, with the promise of high-paying jobs and work-from-home moneymaking opportunities. Once interested persons submit their information and pay their 'set-up' fee, hackers steal their money instead of following through on the promised employment opportunity.

Scam IX: Outbidding for Crime – Auction Site Fraud

Scammers often lurk on auction sites during the holiday season. Buyers should beware of auction deals that appear too good to be true, because often times these purchases never reach their new owner.

Scam X: Password Stealing Scams

Password theft is rampant during the holidays, as thieves use low-cost tools to uncover a person's password and send out malware to record keystrokes, called keylogging. Once criminals have access to one or more passwords, they gain vast access to consumers' bank and credit card details and clean out accounts within minutes. They also commonly send out spam from a user's account to their contacts.

Scam XI: E-Mail Banking Scams

Cybercriminals trick consumers into divulging their bank details by sending official-looking e-mails from financial institutions. They ask users to confirm their account information, including a user name and password, with a warning that their account will become invalid if they do not comply. Then they often sell this information through an underground online black market.

McAfee Labs believes cybercriminals are more actively scamming consumers with this tactic during the holidays since people are monitoring their purchases closely.

Scam XII: Your Files for Ransom – Ransomware Scams

Hackers gain control of people's computers through several of these holiday scams. They then act as virtual kidnappers to hijack computer files and encrypt them, making them unreadable and inaccessible. The scammer holds the user's files ransom by demanding payment in exchange for getting them back.

McAfee advises Internet users to follow these five tips to protect their computers and personal information:

1. Never Click on Links in E-Mails: Go directly to a company or charity's Web site by typing in the address or using a search engine. Never click on a link in an e-mail.

2. Use Updated Security Software: Protect your computer from malware, spyware, viruses and other threats with updated security suites. McAfee® Total Protection software provides fully-featured protection from current and emerging threats. It also comes built in with McAfee SiteAdvisor® technology, a safe search toolbar to warn consumers of a Web site's safety rating as well as phishing protection. It uses intuitive red, yellow and green checkmarks to rate potentially dangerous Web sites when searched on Google, Yahoo! or Bing.

3. Shop and Bank on Secure Networks: Only check bank accounts or shop online on secure networks at home or work, wired or wireless. Wi-Fi networks should always be password-protected so hackers cannot gain access to them and spy on online activity.

Also, remember to only shop on Web sites that begin with https://, instead of http://, and seek out Web sites with security trustmarks, like McAfee SECURE™.

4. Use Different Passwords: Never use the same passwords for several online accounts. Diversify passwords and use a complex combination of letters, numbers and symbols.

5. Use Common Sense: If you are ever in doubt that an offer or product is not legitimate, do not click on it. Cybercriminals are behind many of the seemingly 'good' deals on the Web, so exercise caution when searching and buying.
