TUESDAY ROUNDUP:


VIRUS ALERT!!!
PC WORLD WARNS of a new worm, called "Mimail.C" which comes in an attachment under the innocent subject heading "OUR PERSONAL PHOTOS." Once infected, your computer will launch denial of service attacks against anti-spam sites (evil bastards).

So be sure to delete the attachment, and update your AVGs, folks.


A PIECE OF THE ACTION
If you'd like to own a piece of the Concord ... you can.

OOGLING GOOGLE
Do a search for how much Google is worth, at least according to the Economist, and you'll find out ... $15 BILLION!

Bill's got that in his wallet, doesn't he?

A TIGER BY THE TAIL
An Israeli man is being charged with hacking the Mossad. There are just some people you don't want to mess with.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE

BY THE NUMBERS

I WANT MY MTV ... ONLINE
MTV is going to offer music downloads. Wouldn't that be MPC?


COPYCATS
Alera Technologies is making a DVD Copier for about $600.

On top of that, The Register (via AkibaLive) is reporting that double-layer, double-capacity DVD+R drives and media will be available in stores by Spring. You know that -R formats will follow almost as quickly.

The MPAA is gonna love this.


CAN YOU SEE ME NOW?
Fuji had developed a 2 megapixel SuperCCD Camera for Cellphones.

Does ANYONE care about dropped calls anymore?

BAD FORM, COOL STYLE
HardOCP reports that ITunes will automatically render MusicMatch unusable for iPod if you have both download service programs on your box.

Well that's not nice.

DR. PHIL ALERT
The most over-hyped daytime tv man thinks we are addicted to gadgetry. What a crock. I can quit anytime I want. I just don't want to.

Now, where's my iPod/PDA/Gameboy/Cellphone?!
