All of which suggests that close to 300,000 people could have just seen their personal, non-Yahoo e-mail accounts compromised as well as their Yahoo accounts.

To be on the safe side, if you have a Yahoo ID, you should assume it's no longer secure and change its password. (I just did, and I've never visited Yahoo's contributor-network site until today.) Yahoo is also changing the passwords of affected users. You should, however, also change other passwords if: You've used the same password for any other major service -- particularly for sensitive accounts such as banking, investing, or e-mail. You've ever signed into Yahoo or Associated Content with a non-Yahoo e-mail address.

The European Court of Justice has ruled that customers have a right to resell software they purchase regardless of whether the software was originally distributed on a physical medium or downloaded over the Internet.

But the court did place some important limits on customers' rights to resell used software licenses. First, if a customer purchases a multiseat license, it is not allowed to split the license up into parts and sell them separately.

The court also held that after reselling the software, the previous owner must render his own copy of the software inoperable.

So where was this document found? Was it in a suitcase in the attic of Dr. Leale's great-great-great-great granddaughter? Well, no, it was at the National Archives. Was it in a warped metal filing cabinet down a neglected set of stairs labeled "Beware of the Leopard"? No, it was in a box of other incoming correspondence to the Surgeon General, filed alphabetically under "L" for Leale. In short, this document that had been excavated from the depths of the earth with great physical effort was right where it was supposed to be.

In the case of the recent press on the Leale report, the report had not yet been catalogued, cutting off discovery for ordinary researchers searching with finding aids and online catalogues.

The cloud computing models [1] of leading library systems vendors will not only change the way data is stored, but will also affect the way we catalog.
