Virus Whacks Government's Visa Checking System

A computer virus disabled the State Department's system for checking the visas of people coming into the United States. "The virus crippled the department's Consular Lookout and Support System, known as CLASS, which contains more than 12.8 million records from the FBI, State Department and U.S. immigration, drug-enforcement and intelligence agencies. Among the names are those of at least 78,000 suspected terrorists."

Gotta Get It Gadget

Los Angeles based Liebermann Inc. announced a new four-monitor display called the Grand Canyon Professional Desktop Monitors Series, which the company claims are the "largest, highest image quality and highest resolution LCD displays in the world." With sizes up to 92", resolutions maxing out at 6400x1200 pixels and packages of up to four monitors per display, I believe them. It just doesn't get any better than this, folks. Nor does it get any more expensive: A four-monitor, 92" display costs $17,500. Still, which would you really rather have, a car or one of these? UPDATE: It turns out the Grand Canyon systems are for wimps. How about a $155,000, 10-monitor display?


California Bans Spam

California's embattled governor, Gray Davis, signed a bill today that outlaws spam. The penalty: $1,000 per message sent with a maximum fine of $1 million per campaign. The move is seen as a desperate attempt by Davis to avoid being the first governor in the history of California to be replaced by Gary Coleman.


IM At Work: Profanity, Bitching and Sex

A study by Blue Coat Systems found that half of all respondents to a survey claimed to use profanity in IM at work, one third admit to making chat-based "sexual advances." My favorite part: 40 percent said they use IM to "conspire with colleagues" during conference calls.
