(CBS)  A CBS News investigation last month found that nearly every digital copier built after 2002 stores an image of documents copied, scanned or emailed by the machine on hard drives. CBS News chief investigative correspondent Armen Keteyian reports parents and students at Dos Palos High School in Sacramento found out the hard way recently, when CBS affiliate KOVR pulled hundreds of student names, home addresses, cell phone and social security numbers off the hard drive of an old school copier. "The fact that information that we treat very, very carefully somehow got out of our system and is out...

Health Reform: As major businesses lay out the impact of ObamaCare in dollars and jobs, two things are clear: the costs will be enormous, and the president's vow to focus on "jobs, jobs, jobs" can no longer be believed. Early returns on ObamaCare are coming in, and they belie proponents' claims of job creation and cost reduction. The costs will increase. They are merely being shifted to the states and to America's businesses, large and small. AT&T, the country's largest telephone company, announced Friday it will take a $1 billion first-quarter charge related to the new health care law. The...

October 27, 2005Cracking Xerox's Hidden Code By Anick Jesdanun, The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP)--Just because a document from a color laser printer doesn't carry your name doesn't mean no one can trace it back to you, privacy advocates warn. The Electronic Frontier Foundation says it has cracked the tracking codes embedded in Xerox Corp.'s DocuColor color laser printers. Such codes are just one way that manufacturers employ technology to help governments fight currency counterfeiting. "Underground democracy movements ... will always need the anonymity of simple paper documents, but this technology makes it easier for governments to find dissenters," said...

It's a concept the fictional spy Maxwell Smart would adore: the means to transform the diminutive camera in your cell phone into a portable document scanner. Imagine discreetly photographing contracts, notes jotted on a whiteboard or other handwritten information while on a research mission or a sales call, and later converting them into a format for processing, either in hard copy or on your computer. That's what scientists at Xerox Research Centre Europe in Grenoble, France, envisioned when they developed mobile document-imaging software, which should reach the market later this year. The technology works with camera phones that have a...

WASHINGTON, July 1 (UPI) -- "There is nothing new in the world," President Harry S. Truman liked to say, "Except the history you don't already know." He must have been reading United Press International analysis on "The decline and fall of the American economy."

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks are expected to open flat to lower at Friday's open, buffeted by the latest in string of Wall Street accounting scandals after office equipment company Xerox Corp. (XRX) said it expects to restate revenues by about $2 billion over a five-year period. The announcement jangled nerves still raw from WorldCom Inc.'s (WCOME) disclosure earlier this week that it inappropriately booked nearly $4 billion, inflating its results. Readjustments to corporate results are always unnerving to investors, said James Park, senior vice president of equity trading at investment firm Brean Murray & Co. But he added: "The...
