Newsbytes.com: “Most of the companies gathered at this week’s Internet Security Conference 2001 had some permutation of
the phrase, “we can help stop hackers!” displayed prominently on their booths – leaving no doubt what the
priority is in the Internet security industry.”

Bill Henning writes: “Moving to Linux: Part 2 – Settling In
continues with my saga of moving my web
publishing business desktop to Linux.”

CNET: “The battle over today’s instant messenger market is vintage Microsoft, whose
strategy enemies call “the three E’s” in a parody of the company’s marketing mantra:
Embrace a rival’s technology, extend it to work best with Windows, and extinguish the
competition.”

From The Wall Street Journal: “The feature, which hasn’t yet been made public,
allows Microsoft’s Internet Explorer Web browser —
included in Windows XP — to turn any word on any Web
site into a link to Microsoft’s own Web sites and services,
or to any other sites Microsoft favors.

In effect, Microsoft will be able, through the browser, to
re-edit anybody’s site, without the owner’s knowledge or
permission, in a way that tempts users to leave and go to a
Microsoft-chosen site — whether or not that site offers
better information.”

The Register: “Intel is expected to pare back its expectations for Q2 sales when it posts a
mid-quarter financial statement later today – a first for the chip giant.

So analysts reckon, anyway. Eric Ross of Thomas Weisel Partners on Monday
reiterated his prediction that the chip giant will lower its Q2 2001 guidance on the
back of falling unit shipments, the price cuts it made to the Pentium 4 family in April
and the latest decline in PC shipments since Intel made its forecast.”

PCWorld: “The unsettled U.S. economy is hurting global PC sales growth, causing domestic shipments to slip for the first time in history,
according to a revised forecast by an international market research firm.”

AsiaBizTech: “First International Computer Inc.’s personal
digital assistant (PDA) compatible with both Linux and Java was
awarded “Best of Computex Taipei 2001″ on June 6.”

Anandtech: “After months and even years of waiting the first dual processor Athlon platform is here with a new processor to boast as well. Find out how Dual Athlon MPs stack up to Intel’s Xeon and find out about the successor to the 760MP that will be released later this year.”

Wired: “With Napster signed on as a distribution partner, RealNetworks became the company most likely to bring music to your PC — with security. Their security.”

The Register: “Crackers could ferret their way into a victim’s email by exploiting the way that
Exchange 2000 allows users to access their in-boxes over the Web.

Microsoft has issued a patch; the flaw revolves around the interaction between
Outlook Web Access and Internet Explorer in handling message attachments.”
