Instant messaging may be a handy and quick communications tool, but experts it is a security risk, vulnerable to eavesdropping and even physical tracking. Also brewing are issues such as how and when governmental entities, such as law enforcement agencies and the courts, can obtain IM transcripts, usage information, or other data. But three leading instant messaging services all dispute claims that their systems lack security. There are products available that offer protection, however.

The big change, said one analyst, is that every version of IBM's WebSphere application server is now built on the same software code. Previously, each version of WebSphere, from low end to high end, was built using slightly different code, making it harder for businesses to move to higher-end versions of the server as their needs grew.

A software developer has created a game that he says provides an all-day incentive for housebound kitties to get off the sofa. The software includes 11 virtual kitty treats, including helpless little birds, dangling spiders and a furry mouse, that dart around the computer screen. The victims either move on their own as part of the program's screensaver mode or are manipulated by the cat's owner. This $20 game is "a totally immersing experience" says the creator -- at least by feline standards.
