<description><![CDATA[Alibaba.com, the largest e-commerce site in China, announced today that two senior executives had resigned after an internal investigation found a rise in fraudulent activity on the site.Chief Executive Officer David Wei and Chief Operating Officer Elvis Lee Shi-Huei were not involved in the rise in fraud but were taking responsibility for the &quot;systemic breakdown&quot; in the company's &quot;culture of integrity,&quot; Alibaba Chairman Jack Ma said in a statement (PDF). More than 2,300 fraudulent storefronts registered on the site in 2009 and 2010 as &quot;Gold Suppliers,&quot; offering inexpensive electronics for sale to buyers overseas. However, no goods were delivered after payment was received, Ma said. The average buyer claim against fraudulent sites was less the $1,200, he said. About 100 company sales people out of the company's approximately 5,000-member staff assisted the storefronts in evading the company's verification methods, Ma said. &quot;Our company has determined that the vast majority of these storefronts were set up to intentionally defraud global buyers,&quot; Ma said. &quot;The methods of the perpetrators suggest that they have engineered an organized and systemic attack on the integrity of the Alibaba.com platform for illegal gains.&quot;Taking over for Wei is Jonathan Lu, chief executive of sister company Taobao.com, an online shopping Web site.Alibaba, which has 53 million registered users worldwide, is 40 percent owned by Yahoo and runs Yahoo's Chinese search engine.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Research in Motion&amp;'s BlackBerry PlayBook tablet will hit store shelves on April 10, multiple sources tell the mobile site Boy Genius Report.That date falls in line with RIM&amp;'s plan to release the tablet some time in the first quarter. BGR says that the OS will be finalized on March 31, but users will be prompted to install an update as soon as they boot up the device.I expect we&amp;'ll hear even more leaked information on the PlayBook soon, as it would be a good way for RIM to subvert the iPad insanity brought on by today&amp;'s iPad 2 launch event.Also in PlayBook news, HP apparently isn&amp;'t taking too kindly to the tablet&amp;'s slick multitasking interface. Jon Oakes, HP&amp;'s director of product marketing for the WebOS-powered TouchPad tablet, apparently considers the PlayBook&amp;'s interface a WebOS imitator.Speaking to Laptop Mag, Oakes said:From what wea4a4ve seen in the market, there are some uncanny similarities. Ita4a4s a fast innovation cycle and a fast imitation cycle in this market, so we just know that we have the creative engine here to continue to build on what we have, and wea4a4ll keep innovating, wea4a4ll keep honing and those guys hopefully will continue to see the value in it and keep following us by about a year.RIM, to its credit, responded by saying that the PlayBook&amp;'s interface is just the result of good design. RIM senior vice president for business and platform marketing Jeff McDowell likened the situation to how competing cars end up looking similar after going through a wind tunnel. He also said that QNX, the software company that RIM bought last year and whose OS powers the PlayBook, may have had that interface in mind before they started working with RIM &amp;8212' which shifts any blame of design imitation from RIM to QNX.Next Story: Spoon wants to scoop up gamers with a new cloud gaming service Previous Story: Apple expected to ship 40M iPads in 2011, convincing iPad 2 mockup appearsPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: BlackBerry PlayBook, tablets, TouchPad, webOSCompanies: HP, QNX, RIMPeople: Jeff McDowell, Jon Oakes          Tags: BlackBerry PlayBook, tablets, TouchPad, webOSCompanies: HP, QNX, RIMPeople: Jeff McDowell, Jon OakesDevindra Hardawar is VentureBeat's lead mobile writer and East Coast correspondent.
