<b>Gaga for Google? When results don't count</b></a></font><br>

<font size="+1"><b>Group proposes PC protection guarantees</b></a></font><br>
Several <b>U.S. government</b> agencies have teamed with an international Internet security organization to support a set of
benchmarks aimed at guaranteeing a <b>minimum security standard</b> for computers. While <b>Windows 2000</b> workstations are
the first benchmark that the disparate organizations have agreed upon, others to  follow include <b>Cisco IOS</b> for
routers, Solaris, Linux and HP-UX. Reaching agreement on these benchmarks will not be a walk in the park.

<font size="+1"><b>As the rhetoric turns</b></a></font><br>
Last year, <b>Steve Ballmer</b> called the GPL on which Linux is based a "<b>cancer</b>." This year, <b>Linux is a "unique
competititor</b>." The emergence of Linux as a serious competitor to Windows has forced Microsoft to change the way it
approaches customers, Microsoft's CEO acknowledged at this week's Fusion 2002. Microsoft traditionally has played its <b>"low price, high volume"</b> game against IBM, Oracle and others. Now it must figure out how to beat Linux, which has an even lower cost -- free.
The next iteration of Wi-Fi (aka <b>802.11a</b>) may be getting a lot of interest, but rolling it out now, says <b>Gartner</b>, would be jumping
the gun. The anointed successor to the <b>802.11b</b> modulation scheme provides up to five times the throughput over its predecessor. When will it be ready for prime time?

<font size="+1"><b>More large-scale worm attacks? Brace yourself</b></a></font><br>
It's been a year since the <b>Code Red</b> worm wreaked havoc on the Net. What's changed? Internet worms have become <b>much
more robust</b> since Code Red. And that doesn't bode well, since antivirus software hasn't kept up with all the changes. So
far in 2002, we've been lucky. <b>Robert Vamosi</b> tells you how to prepare for future threats.
<font size="+1"><b>Macworld hears roar of Jaguar</b></a></font><br>
At this week's Macworld, Apple CEO <b>Steve Jobs</b> heralded the early arrival (August 24) of <b>Mac OS X version 10.2</b>
(code-named Jaguar), which features improved search features plus <b>QuickTime 6</b> with support for MPEG-4. Also: An iPod
for Windows, a 17-inch flat-panel iMac, new charges for iTools Web services and a leg-up for Mac Office.
