Sir Bill’s treatment at Cairn will make every board quake
The day after Business Secretary Vince Cable announced extra legislation to control fat cat pay and bonuses, a major, FTSE 100 blue-chip company, Cairn Energy, bowed to shareholder pressure over a massive, one-off pay-out for its chairman.
Some well-known San Antonio companies failed to claim their .xxx domains and at least two local businesses have moved to protect their brands from possibly being associated with smutty online content.
The .xxx designations went live late last year as a way to distinguish adult-entertainment sites. Many companies not part of the adult-entertainment industry moved quickly to block domains affiliated with their brands.
Valero Energy Corp. earlier this month took steps to secure the domain name Valero.xxx after it was acquired by a Netherlands man on Dec. 6 — the first day domain names went on sale to the public.
J Leegsma, who is listed as the site’s registrant, said Monday that he planned to turn over the rights to the site to Valero after it filed an action with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). I

Mountain View-based computer-security company Symantec joined the rush to cloud computing in announcing Monday its acquisition of email-archiving company LiveOffice for about $115 million.

PALO ALTO, Calif. — Critics began panning the first leg of California’s futuristic high-speed rail network as a “train to nowhere” soon after officials decided to build it not in the major population centers of Los Angeles or San Francisco, but through the state’s Central Valley farming belt.
Since then, things have only gotten worse. Spiraling cost estimates and eroding political and public support now threaten a project crucial to a 21st-century vision of train travel that President Obama promised would transform U.S. transportation much as interstate highways did more than a half-century ago.
