It's the first worm to exploit e-mail addresses of potential victims from online directories. That makes Gibe a potential precedent-setting pioneer -- its directory harvesting prowess could open up a whole new can of worms -- future worms could use the same technique to engulf the Internet. http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/newsItem/0,289139,sid1_gci811700,00.html FOR MORE INFORMATION: Read about the Gibe worm from our sister site SearchSecurity: http://www.searchSecurity.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid14_gci808930,00.html.

Deploying and managing Active Directory are tough tasks, but securing it can be tougher. Here are some AD security tips that will help ease the burden. http://searchwindowsmanageability.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid33_gci803194,00.html NOVELL LINES UP XML NETMAIL SERVER, HAWTHORNE GROUPWISE | News: CRN There's a change brewing at Novell. The company's Internet Messaging Server, or NIMS, will be rechristened Novell NetMail. But there will be more to it than just a new name. Next month Novell will load it with support for Windows, XML, and a SOAP layer to enable the messaging server for Web services. http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/newsItem/0,289139,sid1_gci811691,00.html SUN TO BANG JAVA DRUM BUT J2EE 1.4 SLIPS | News: The Register JavaOne may be a horn-tooting extravaganza for Sun, but behind the hoopla is a little reality. J2EE 1.4 won't be getting native support for SOAP until next year. That could set back Java programmers itching to build Web services and cost Sun some mindshare to Microsoft. .NET developers are already building Web services now that Visual Studio.NET is out. http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/newsItem/0,289139,sid1_gci811704,00.html FORMER NETSCAPE CEO TO TESTIFY AGAINST MS | News: Computerworld A little payback maybe? James Barksdale, former head of Netscape, has testified in the antitrust case on behalf of the nine states wanting stiffer penalties against Redmond. Barksdale blamed Microsoft for Netscape Navigator's trip to the browser basement. He thinks tougher sanctions are needed to keep MS from destroying other companies. He says the settlement doesn't stop MS from bundling applications and operating system code. http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/newsItem/0,289139,sid1_gci811683,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ADDITIONAL SEARCHWIN2000 NEWS HEADLINES Additional headlines are available on our news page >> FULL STORIES: http://searchwin2000.techtarget.com/news _____________________________________________________________________ ************* SPONSORED BY: SearchWin2000 Training ****************** 8 WINDOWS 2000 NETWORK IMPLEMENTATION/ADMIN COURSES FOR 1 LOW PRICE!

So what, you say, gaggles of geeks are high on their Macs. These guys are guaranteed higher. In fact, they're high FROM their Mac. They've turned it into a bong! That's stonerspeak for a water pipe used to smoke marijuana (rent a Cheech and Chong movie if you'd like to learn more). How did they do it? It took some installation and lots of inhalation. The guys added a large tube to the back of an all-in-one Mac SE30, a bowl to the front and the water bong behind the screen. They call their smokin' little gadget the "iBong" -- it's the only Mac that'll give you the munchies. They say they got the idea from the MacQuarium Macintosh modification, which turns an all-in-one Mac into a fish tank.
