ZDNET: “Just before Memorial Day, I attended SpamCon 2001, a first-of-its-kind
conference focusing exclusively on what can be done to combat spam. It was there that I
realized just how thin a line divides spammers from virus writers. Both target your e-mail inbox
with unwanted junk. Both can tie up corporate e-mail servers with excessive traffic. And both
entice you to click some attachment or link you’d otherwise not bother with. The big difference

and sending spam is not.”

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,
