10 Jahre Hyperventilieren
Wired
Dass ein Magazin wie "Wired" zehn Jahre alt wird, grenzt an ein Wunder: So einäugig wie weitsichtig versorgt es seine Tech-affine Leserschaft mit Nachrichten, die es so sonst nirgends zu lesen gibt. Zum Glück, in jeder Hinsicht.

Shark Attack at Petting Zoo
It started like any another trip to the Florida Aquarium for Julie Menke and her 13-month-old daughter, Shannon.
Menke said she and her daughter had their hands in the water, hoping to pet a small approaching shark that a woman monitoring the tank said was friendly. That's when another passing shark whipped around and bit her hand, she said.

"I believe he is dead," Mr. al-Essadi said. "I have seen secret documents that say he was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer in 1998 and given six months to live." Mr. Hussein's first wife has left him and returned to her first husband, Mr. al-Essadi added, which "would never happen if Saddam was alive."

Further security problem hits Windows 2000
MICROSOFT warned that there's a hole in Windows 2000 which could let attackers take control of your PC, with results you may not want. The problem is to do with an unchecked buffer in a Windows component. The operating system supports the WWW distributed authoring and version protocol, which gives extenstions to HTTP.
