Two potentially interesting news items.

1. Checkpoint acquires Zonelabs:

2. Bush signs anti-spam bill:

Comment on number 1: hopefully their excellent free Firewall will continue to be offered.

Comment on number 2: well, don't hold your breath but at least it's a start.

Just FYI - There are actually threads on these topics in the other forum sections, though for number 2, while it was fully expected to be signed, the fact that it was signed is a new addition.

1. CheckPoint to buy Zone Labs... (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=17946)

2. US pass anti spam law today (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=16734)

In any case, let's talk about them from a serious standpoint over in those threads. Here we can have fun instead. ;)
