Intel To Buy McAfee For $7.68 Billion

Intel's buying McAfee for $7.68 billion in cash-Intel and McAfee abashed the tech apple this morning with the advertisement that Intel is accepting McAfee for 7.7 billion dollars. The antecedent acknowledgment from analysts and industry experts is confusion–or maybe alert skepticism–as the tech apple tries to accept how a aggregation alike with processors and computer dent technology will accomplish use of a above aegis software and casework organization.

Intel McAfee, Intel takes a camp about-face into the aegis industry with the acquirement of McAfee.I batten with IT-Harvest analyst Richard Stiennon for some acumen on the blockbuster news. With data still somewhat sketchy, Stiennon accepted that it isn’t about antivirus software. “You’re paying $7 billion for an AV aggregation which is crazy because there are 80 of them and they all do the aforementioned affair and you could buy one for $50 million.”

Stiennon aswell offered some belief that the McAfee accretion ability accredit Intel to accretion bigger admission to advantageous government contracts. McAfee has a solid ballast in government desktop aegis that could accessible some doors.

Forrester analyst Jon Kindervag’s aboriginal acknowledgment is beneath than optimistic. In 2000 Intel bought a solid VPN company–Shiva–and aural a few years it basically burst into abeyance because VPN technology is not Intel’s amount competency.

The acquirement of McAfee, and the move into action and customer aegis is analogously alfresco of Intel’s acceptable abundance zone. Kindervag said “I would adulation to be wrong, but I anticipate we may all attending aback 5 years from now and say ‘Wow. That was a big mistake.’”

McAfee’s CEO Dave DeWalt discussed why the amalgamation of McAfee and Intel makes sense. “The amount of affiliated accessories is accepted to abound from 1 billion to 50 billion by 2020, according to industry estimates. This atomic advance of Internet and IP-enabled accessories is about-face communication, accord and business opportunities for individuals and organizations about the world.”

DeWalt elaborates “We are abutting armament to accouterment this next bearing cybersecurity issue, which impacts anybody and annihilation abutting to the Internet. Aegis will be a third colonnade in Intel’s strategy, next to ability able achievement and Internet connectivity. By bringingMcAfee ’s aegis DNA to Intel, we can action bigger solutions and articles to the market. By next year, we will acquaint new aegis offerings as a aftereffect of our collaboration.”

George Kurtz, Global CTO of McAfee, explains in a blog column “While you may ask “Why?” – It makes absolute faculty to me. Given the accepted challenges in ambidextrous with the admeasurement of baneful malware, bringing software afterpiece to silicon will accommodate a absolute advantage for consumers and businesses. Beating aback the course of malware admeasurement by alteration the bold on the bad guys is an agitative proposition.”

At face value, it seems like an “oil and water” array of purchase–like the blighted accretion of Skype by eBay, but conceivably there is some admirable plan or atom of ability that we will accept added absolutely as the dust settles and the operations ofMcAfee and Intel become integrated. It could be a ablaze move, or a huge mistake

Halo Reach: Hackers Claim to Have Grabbed Halo: Reach From Microsoft Site

Remember that twelve-hundred dollar Halo: Reach listing we told you about earlier in the week? Well, it looks like it's gotten some attention, and not just for its hefty price tag. A group of modders from the Game-Tut forums have claimed that they were able to trick Microsoft's servers into letting them download the game and have been taking it for a spin.

The group said that obtaining the game had been a challenge, but even though they'd been successful, they had no plans to distribute it. Bungie is yet to comment on these reported leaks, although its forum moderators have reminded posters that discussing leaked details was a surefire way of earning a permanent ban.

Microsoft, on the other hand, has issued a statement about the leaks, saying it was aware of the group's claims and was "aggressively investigating" the matter. If Reach has indeed been leaked - and there is other evidence besides the team's comments to suggest that it has - then it will come as something of a blow to Microsoft. It's not going to stop the game selling a bajillion copies, but it may make Microsoft reconsider using Xbox Live for sensitive material in the future

Angelina Jolie Flood Relief Donation Of $100,000 To Pakistan

By contributing $100,000 toward the flood-ravaged victims of Pakistan, Hollywood glam girl Angelina Jolie has overtaken the help extended by most Pakistani politicians, including President Asif Ali Zardari.

Some leaders have refused to disclose their contribution to the relief effort and claimed that their donation had gone directly to their party's fund.

Dawn reported Wednesday that Jolie has contributed $100,000 while Zardari and Altaf Hussain, chief of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, claimed to have donated Rs.5 million each.

Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and top leaders of the Pakistan Muslim League-Q, Awami National Party and Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-F have not made donations in cash; instead, they donated in kind.

"The prime minister has already said that he does not believe in cash contribution and thus he did not deposit money in the fund, but his son in Multan dispatched many trucks of goods on behalf of the family," Dawn quoted the prime minister's press secretary Shabir Anwar as saying.

The floods started July 28 with heavy monsoon rains and went on to submerge thousands of villages, wash away hundreds of kilometres of roads, dozens of bridges and over 1.7 million acres of crops.

The country's worst natural disaster has killed over 1,600 people and affected about 20 million nationwide, with the threat of disease ever-present in the camps sheltering survivors.

Presidential spokesperson Farhatullah Babar said: "During his recent visit to the UK, President Zardari announced Rs.2.5 million in donation and after his return he contributed another Rs.2.5 million to the prime minister's flood relief fund."

He added that Zardari's children - Bilawal Zardari-Bhutto, Bakhtawar Zardari and Asifa Zardari - had set up a fund in Britain to collectdonation from overseas Pakistanis and others.

Pakistan Muslim League-N chief Nawaz Sharif, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and their family have reportedly handed over goods worth Rs.25 million. But there was no contribution in cash.

"Sharif family has sent relief goods amounting to Rs.25 million to flood-hit areas," said PML-N spokesperson Siddiqul Farooq.

He criticised President Zardari for contributing just Rs.5 million.

Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan of the PML-N, has told his party members to donate to the Punjab chief minister's relief fund instead of the prime minister's fund.

Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan's monetary help stood at Rs.500,000.

"Khan donated Rs.500,000 from his own pocket. He and the party are actively participating in fund-raising campaigns," PTI's spokesperson Tahir Jamil said, and added that Khan would take 300 trucks carrying relief goods to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sunday.

The contribution of PML-Q chief Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and his family was Rs.25 million in kind.

"Relief goods have been dispatched to Multan, Muzaffargarh, Rajanpur and other parts of Punjab," said Mustafa Malik, PML-Q's deputy information secretary.
