CHIP SALES, TECH SLUMP SEEN HURTING IBM | News: Reuters
Weak chip sales and a general downturn in technology spending will

THE MISSING LINK | Pop singer's death hoax a top story at CNN.com
Oops, someone did it again -- created an Internet hoax that got WAY
more attention than it deserved. The most popular story on CNN.com
for Sunday, Oct. 7? Not America pulling the trigger on the Taliban,
but "Singer Britney Spears killed in car accident." A prankster
copied CNN's look and writing style, then exploited a (now quashed)
quirk in the way Web browsers handle URLs to fool folks into thinking
they were linking to a legitimate CNN article. The prankster said all
he did to get the virtual rumor mill turning was to distribute a
specially crafted URL to three users of AOL's Instant Messenger chat
software. Then the cybersnowball began to roll -- the bogus Britney
story clawed its way to the top of CNN's "Most Popular" stories list
for the day. What do "wolf criers" have against little Miss Spears?
In June, CNN reported that a radio station in Texas launched a hoax
that Spears and pop singer Justin Timberlake were involved in a car
accident. (Source: Newsbytes)
