HANGZHOU, CHINA, 02 AUGUST, 2008 - Alibaba.com Group CEO Jack Ma said Saturday that no matter what happened to major shareholder Yahoo, the company would retain its independence.
"As to the sale [of Yahoo], when this happened, I told the team, no matter what happens we will do things our own way. We are the people who make the decision," Ma said, speaking at a press conference at the Second APEC Business Advisory Council SME Summit in Alibaba's home city of Hangzhou. "It will not change our vision. It will not change our independent management of the company."
Ma had been mostly silent on the potential impact of a Yahoo sale to Microsoft on Alibaba. In August 2005 Yahoo purchased a 40 percent stake in the Chinese e-commerce company, paying US$1 billion and turning over Yahoo's China unit to Alibaba. It still holds that stake plus 10 percent of Alibaba's listed entity. Since its initial public offering in November, 2007, Alibaba.com has become one of Asia's largest Internet companies.

With the Web as the most popular means of malware infection, more malicious content is finding itself on social networking sites and blogs, says Sophos. More malware is hopping onto the Web 2.0 boat as the choice transportation, overtaking e-mail.
According to IT security company Sophos, the number one malware Web host is Blogspot.com, a site which provides a template and hosting space for users to create their own blogs for free. Hackers have used the site to set up malicious blogs, and also used their Blogspot.com accounts to add comments containing dangerous Web links on other innocent blogs, detailed Sophos in its latest security threat report.
And yet Blogspot.com accounts for just 2 percent of all the malware hosted on the Web.
