6 years old girl has stolen $140,000
South Korean police said Friday they had arrested a woman accused of telling her six-year-old daughter to steal some 140,000 dollars from a bank.
The girl took cash and cheques on Thursday from a small safe under the desk in the VIP room of a bank in the southern island of Jeju, they said. The room was temporarily empty apart from the child.
The mother was arrested the same day after a closed-circuit TV clip showed the child near the safe. Police seized the money and cash as evidence.
"The mother insists she did not tell the kid to steal the money," a detective told AFP by phone.

Nokia Has Paid $1 Billion To Qualcomm For Tech Patents
In court documents revealed this week, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) said it has paid about $1 billion for full access to Qualcomm's extensive patent portfolio over a 15-year period. Nokia has been complaining for years that Qualcomm charges too much for its intellectual property and the two companies are scheduled to meet in a Delaware Court this July to work out their differences. Nokia maintains in court filings that it is paid up for its use of Qualcomm IP, although the Qualcomm doesn't agree. As much of the value of early wireless patents fades away, attention is turning to the recently created Next Generation Mobile Networks (NGMN) 4G patent pool. Led by Intel (NSDQ: INTC) and Samsung, the NGMN appeals to smaller wireless companies that don't have the resources to enter into wireless patent battles. New cellular companies also tend to find it difficult to figure the IP costs of entering markets. "The combined effect of NGMN reporting and a 4G patent pool will create a situation where there will be an evident divide between the patent pool rates reported, and royalty rates reported from the rest," said Stuart Carlaw, ABI Research's VP and research director, in a statement Friday. "This will expose Qualcomm's position to the public gaze," he said. ABI noted that the average cumulative royalty rate in cellular technology has been secret. ABI indicated Qualcomm should be "worried" by the creation of the NGMN, because it could marginalize Qualcomm's IP position. "The key concepts here revolve around the independent reporting of royalty rates to the NGMN and also the ability of a patent pool to report en masse," said Carlaw. 
Qualcomm may lose clout and royalities thanks to the recently created Next Generation Mobile Networks 4G patent pool.
As new cell phone infrastructure technologies are introduced, handset manufacturers and service providers are placing new emphasis on intellectual property assets -- who owns them and how much they are worth.

MICROSOFT unites TOSHIBA & PANASONIC to make DVD 2.0
Microsoft & Toshiba resurrection is comin' !
Last month, a working group WG-12 was made for "research and specifications of network applications as well as related networking formats DVD Forum specifications, recommendations for the DVD Forum and other associations for devices connected to the network."
In other words, Toshiba, Microsoft, and Panasonic have united together to create a format DVD 2.0, which will use part of HD functionality, already established for HD DVD. For example, it will support interactive Hdi interface will support Super Upconversionmode, which enable video output in the permits until 960p. Also promised advanced copy protection system and sure, the support of network functions.
And the most important. The new format DVD 2.0 will be compatible with conventional DVD drives! That is, we get HD video with slightly inferior quality Blu-ray, but the conventional DVD devices. All that is needed for a new video format - its updated firmware player and the opportunity to display high-resolution signal.
Ideally under these conditions suited Xbox 360. War is not over formats!

Facebook Ceo is a youngest billionaire
Billionaires are getting younger. Forbes magazine released its list of the world's mega-rich Wednesday and said Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, 23, became the youngest ever self-made billionaire.
Zuckerberg, born during the Ronald Reagan presidency, is worth $1.5 billion four years after launching the social-networking site and the third-youngest to crack the billionaire list since Forbes began tracking ages a decade ago. The other two inherited their money. Facebook did not respond to requests for comment.
The Forbes list often reflects the times. Bill Gates was once himself like Zuckerberg and dropped out of Harvard to launch a technology upstart. Gates is now 52 and slipped from first place in the rankings after being the richest person in the world for 13 straight years. In 1995, Gates replaced Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, a Japanese real estate investor who subsequently fell on hard times and was removed from the Forbes list in 2007.
Gates is worth $58 billion, $2 billion more than last year, but he is now third on the list. He was dislodged by Warren Buffett ($62 billion) and Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim Helu ($60 billion). Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway stock climbed $10 billion; Slim's fortune rose $11 billion.
Buffett is 77 and Slim is 68, but there are now 50 billionaires younger than 40, and 34 of them are self-made. The average age of all billionaires has dropped to 61 from 64 in 2004, partly because of the growth of young, self-made Russian and Chinese billionaires. Mainland China's richest person is 26-year-old real estate heiress Yang Huiyan (No. 125), worth $7.4 billion.
Forbes says that billionaires sometimes slip beneath its radar, but it now counts 1,125 worldwide, worth $4.4 trillion. That's an increase of 179 billionaires from a year ago. Two-thirds of the 1,125 are self-made.
Of the 1,125 billionaires, 469 (42%) are from the USA. But the average U.S. billionaire is worth $3.4 billion vs. $4.3 billion for the average foreign billionaire. The biggest gainer over the last year is 48-year-old Indian businessman Anil Ambani. His wealth jumped $24 billion, or nearly $3 million an hour.
There have been two billionaires who made the Forbes list at a younger age than Zuckerberg. One was Albert II, prince of Thurn and Taxis, who is a German heir of postmasters dating to the Holy Roman Empire. He inherited his wealth at age 7, when his father died in 1990, although he did not gain access to his fortune until he turned 18.
The other was Hind Hariri, youngest of the Lebanese heirs of a banking, real estate, oil and telecommunications fortune that she inherited at 22.
