A new Internet worm, "Code Blue" has reportedly turned up in China. Blue is a lot like Red and is squirming its way through computers and servers in China. No word yet how widespread it is.

And some have launched a blistering attack on the company. SOURCE: vnunet http://www.vnunet.com/News/1125303 =============================================== [2] "Caldera announces revenue loss, layoffs" Linux and Unix software seller Caldera International has announced a net quarterly loss of $18.8 million. The company also detailed further layoffs and a reverse stock split to keep trading on the Nasdaq market. SOURCE: ZDNet http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,5096695,00.html =============================================== [3] "Microsoft: Tech industry not sure what comes next" It was a little announcement with a big impact. The DOJ said this week it will not take an axe to Microsoft. Now it's time to read what the announcement didn't say. IT executives and analysts think the tone of the language indicates the DOJ is going to put XP under the microscope. There's also speculation galore on what "prompt, effective and certain relief" means.

And the bust turned out to be the e-mail, for that matter. A London lawyer apparently wanted to "upgrade" his secretary. He e-mailed his boss that he wanted a "real fit busty blonde" this time because of the prospective entertainment value. (Does he work at a law firm or a locker room?) But he may not get to find out if busty blondes have more fun, file better briefs or take better dictation -- Murphy's Law kicked in. Yep, the outgoing secretary, who is black, stumbled upon the e-mail. Busted! She's none too pleased and is suing the sender and another lawyer for sex and race discrimination. Both the "offending" lawyers, racked by guilt, say the e-mail was a silly joke, and they've apologized to no avail.
