If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

As we celebrate the innovation and contributions of small businesses this week, it’s important to acknowledge the increased cyber risks they face as they embrace hybrid work and new digital business models, along with the emergence of cyberattacks as a service. Protect yourself with tools from the company that gives you the need to protect yourself
That sounded less awkward when I first thought it, but looks awful when typed. (plus, I guess it's mean, but then that's on-brand)

"We had all these ideas for viruses to eliminate, so we polled our business partners and shared those ideas. Imagine our surprise when they indicated we were on the right track! Since we had limited time and budget, we only eliminated three of those viruses! Success!"

Alphabet Inc's Google will provide any U.S. business over $100,000 worth of online courses in data analytics, design and other tech skills for their workers free of charge, the search company said on Monday. What's the catch?

Scalper bots have already signed up for all 500 slots and are now trying to resell them?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

In its preliminary ruling, the European Commission has said that there are indications that Apple restricts competition in the mobile wallets market on iOS by limiting access to ‘Near-Field Communication (NFC)' for third-party service providers. Showing once again that they're equal-opportunity litigators

Does adding an empty space at the end of the description or a comment in the source code and recompiling count as update?

Alphabet Inc.’s Google lashed out at the European Union for doling out a “quasi criminal fine of very large proportions” for allegedly thwarting advertising rivals on websites. Are they disputing the 'almost'?

"Don't be evil." Unfortunately, I know some people who think unmitigated greed isn't evil. They are the same people who think market forces will work those issues out. They never completely learned their history lessons.

A team at Penn State University discovered that user information can be leaked during the fairly common process of companies leaving a public cloud service and their old IP address being handed off to the next tenant. But The Cloud(tm) is secure - they tell me so
Hopefully this link works for people. It does this silly, "checking your browser" thing before showing the page. WTE?

Computer monitoring software is helping companies spy on their employees to measure their productivity – often without their consent "I always feel like somebody's watchin' me"
Yes, I do use that line too often. But then again, it might be called for

The day that someone in my company tells me something that smells like they have been monitoring me... I will quit and look for another thing or try it on my own.

When you don't want to hear something, one easy way to not have to think about it at all is to convince yourself that whoever is saying it is incompetent, or that they have ulterior motives. You don't get $200 for passing it?

A modified VR headset can create the sensation of touch, either on a user's lips or even inside their mouths. At least the kind of kisses that a VR researcher might experience

On the bright side, if that industry went entirely virtual, trafficking would be eliminated. On the other hand, Uungh! Eliminating trafficking more than makes up for that negative. But we are both realists - that will never happen in our lifetimes.

Yeah, I suspect there's no industry more likely to go, "Why not both" (or all ways to make money)
