The week in review
Speaking of privacy, Internet heavy-hitters announced their support for the Privacy Partnership. They will run banners linking to TRUST*E, a non-profit initiative encouraging disclosure of privacy policies.
Also this week: District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson ordered Microsoft to give the DOJ access to its databases so it can review the software giant's pricing policies. And Hayes, the company that sold the first modem, filed for Chapter 11 - for the second time. Finally, NASDAQ took hairpin turns this week, rallying Friday after downturns earlier in the week.
