SECURITY: THE GREAT PRIVACY COMPROMISE
Security will remain at its current pathetic level or worse during the
next 5 to 10 years. The next big thing is a long way off, primarily for
cultural rather than technical reasons.

OLD APPS, NEW VULNERABILITIES
One of the best security defenses you can have is a fully patched
computer. Not just the OS, but all applications -- large and small --
should be completely up to date. But making sure you have the latest
patches isn't enough. You have to check and see if the older, vulnerable
versions of the software you patched aren't still installed and
available. Unfortunately, many well-known applications, when patched, do
not remove the older versions. Malicious Web sites can often choose
which version your client runs, so while you think you're safe with the
latest patches, the older versions of your software can be called,
instead, to execute a known vulnerability you had long ago stopped
worrying about.

NSA SPYING PROGRAM ARGUED AT COURT HEARING
A U.S. appeals court agreed on Wednesday to weigh a government motion to
dismiss a lawsuit alleging the National Security Agency (NSA) monitored
phone lines and e-mails without a warrant, but judges asked a government
lawyer tough questions over the issue.
