struck the right balance," said Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., the committee's
chairman. "It's 100 percent voluntary. There are no big mandates in this
bill, and industry says under these conditions they think they can share
(information), and the government can give them information that might protect
them."The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, or CISPA, is widely
backed by industry groups that say businesses are struggling to defend against
aggressive and sophisticated attacks from hackers in China, Russia and Eastern
Europe.Privacy and civil liberties groups have long opposed the bill because
they say it opens America's commercial records to the federal government
without putting a civilian agency in charge, such as the Homeland Security
Department or Commerce Department. That leaves open the possibility that
the National Security Agency or another military or intelligence office
would become involved, they said. While the new program would be intended
to transmit only technical threat data, opponents said they worried that
personal information could be passed along, too.Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff
of California and Jan Schakowsky of Illinois were the lone dissenters. At
a press conference, they said they would push for amendments on the
House floor next week that would specifically bar the military from taking
a central role in data collection and instead put the Homeland Security
Department in charge. They also

for business users has declined as well. According to Chou, companies now
buy computers every four or five years as opposed to every three
years. Estimates for global PC shipments may fall even lower than the
already-grim 1.3 percent contraction for 2013, IDC told WSJ.At this point,
unfortunately, it seems clear that the Windows 8 launch not only failed
to provide a positive boost to the PC market, but appears to
have slowed the market, said Bob ODonnell, IDC Program Vice President, Clients
and Displays. While some consumers appreciate the new form factors and touch
capabilities of Windows 8, the radical changes to the UI, removal of
the familiar Start button, and the costs associated with touch have made
PCs a less attractive alternative to dedicated tablets and other competitive
devices.The pressure is on Microsoft to make Windows 8 more compelling to
consumers, whether it be through lower prices or big changes to the
operating system. The Windows Blue update expected this summer promises
several enhancements, including the ability to view more apps on the screen
at once and easier access to settings, but it may not be
enough.
