Password protection in Microsoft Word criticized (CNET)
Following news of a vulnerability in its Word application, Microsoft says that the software's password feature was never intended as a protection from hackers. Instead, the "password to modify" function was meant to prevent inadvertent changes to a Word document, the company said. In response to criticism over the issue, Microsoft has updated its Knowledge Base to alert users that a malicious user can bypass the password protection in
Word.

Spears fishing: Britney named 'most googled'
![]()
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the most googled of them all? The honor of most-googled subject of 2003 goes to ex-newlywed Britney Spears. She beat out Harry Potter and the "Matrix" films and became queen of the search box. Spears was also 2003's most-requested female photographic image, so never mind the fact that there are more hate sites devoted to her than to Saddam Hussein -- evidently, the world can't live with her or
without her. Google also found that Britain will take its Prince of Wales over pop's princess of wails any day. Prince Charles was the most-googled subject among his subjects last year.
