* Corel has introduced a public beta for its new [Corel WordPerfect Lightning][1] software. WordPerfect Lightning is a free word processor/note-taking application designed to "make it easier to capture, use, and reuse ideas, information and images."

* A while back we told you about the MPAA pirating someone's linkware blogging software. The MPAA is now [claiming][2] that the software was used for testing purposes only, as if that somehow excuses the infringement. Dear MPAA, don't worry I'm not infringing on copyrights I'm just using MacTheRipper for testing purposes, none of my copies will ever be made public; let's just call it even, fair enough?

* Macenstein [published][3] an article yesterday that purports to show Apple's Safari web browser as a resource hog. The Safari team has [responded][4] saying that the problem likely lies with the sites loaded, not the browser itself.

* Microsoft has created a new category of Windows user, the "[maybe pirate][5]." In the past Microsoft's validation schemes have been pretty cut and dried, either the copy in use was pirated or it wasn't, but a new software update adds a boundary category for those cases where it just can't tell whether a copy is legitimate, for example, when a network error prevents the validation check.
