According to a Dataquest report, the server market grew only 0.7% this quarter. Compaq retained its position as the top server vendor, and Dell and IBM followed as close seconds. Upshot: Companies may be holding off on buying higher-end systems.

Apparently, the worm is "running out of food" as computers protect their computers with a patch.

It was 1991 when Cambridge University researchers -- in an effort to avoid running low on joe -- first pointed a video frame-grabber at their coffeemaker, wrote a program that snapped a picture every few seconds and posted the images to a server. Bored Net surfers got hooked. Eventually the site drew about 2.4 million visitors. It was one of the first apps that showed the Web's potential. This year, the researchers are moving to new digs, and the now-broken Trojan Room coffee maker is being offered (where else?) on eBay.
