NEWS
Experts question Windows patch policy (ZDNet)
Experts are still weighing the effects of Microsoft's new policy of releasing monthly security updates, but so far, it's seen as not making a big difference to administrators. Analysts and others say that on the plus side, admins only have to schedule outages for updates once a month. On the downside, it gives "bad guys" a clear schedule for their malicious activities.

Gulp! Widget whacks Web in 'greatest innovation' poll
![]()
What's the greatest technological invention since 1963? E-mail? Cell phones? The yellow stripe that shows you how far the offense has to go for a first down? If you ask readers of tech site www.T3.co.uk, the greatest gadget of them all is the widget, a capsule that releases nitrogen into canned beer and gives the brew the kind of foam normally reserved for pints in the pub. Nearly half of 8,921 respondents to the T3 poll tipped their tall ones to the widget. Nothing else even came close. The Web came in a distant second with 13% of the vote.
