A very slow day for news so I found a misc. post more suitable for a few articles that are worth a look...
A new mass-mailing e-mail worm (http://news.com.com/2100-1002_3-1007603.html?tag=fd_top), which feigns a Microsoft.com origin, is spreading rapidly. Antivirus vendors say it can also spread via a local area network and can install "spyware" on a victim's PC. I've got quite a few of these myself today supposedly from "support@microsoft.com", just got installed Mailwasher (http://www.mailwasher.net/download.php) right now, so far looks like a promising little program.
Ads Invade Videogames (http://www.fortune.com/fortune/articles/0,15114,451156,00.html), savvy marketers are eyeing one of the last ad-free zones.
One-Way Opteron (http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=9544), anyone? here's a bit from the Inq: "AMD is touting this as a workstation chip, but you can be sure it will be tipping up in desktops around the world. This chip is available shortly, and Nvidia already has a chipset on the ground."
Microsoft will license the rights to Unix technology (http://news.com.com/2100-1016-1007528.html?tag=nl) from SCO Group, a move that could impact the battle between Windows and Linux in the market for computer operating systems.
Gateway on Monday introduced a recycling program (http://news.com.com/2100-1003_3-1007623.html?tag=lh) aimed at corporations, offering to haul away old PCs, delete data from hard drives and give credit toward future hardware purchases.
