Click on some news sites. The chances are pretty good you won't get called on the office carpet. A new survey of workplace Net surfing habits shows that most employers don't get too worked up if their cubicle- dwelling underlings use the office Internet connection to bone up on current events. Understandably, only 2% of the survey respondents said that the boss allowed them to visit porn or gambling sites on company time. News sites actually beat out porn, gambling and shopping sites as the most popular places to click, with 23% of respondents saying they're actually addicted to news surfing.
