____________________________________________________________
* Reuters: Microsoft Corp. will have to supply the computer code for its Windows program to a
group of states seeking stiffer antitrust sanctions against the software giant, a federal
judge ruled on Friday.
Nine state attorneys general had argued that they needed to see the Windows source code in
order to verify Microsoft's claim it could not offer a simpler version of the Windows
personal computer operating system, stripped of features like the Internet Explorer browser.

* Virus: No new virus news this week.
* Security:
- CNET: A worm that uses Microsoft's MSN Messenger application to exploit a browser glitch
emerged late Wednesday and spread rapidly, despite the existence of a patch covering the
security hole, according to experts.
The worm replicates itself by sending messages to other MSN Messenger users but doesn't
otherwise damage PCs, experts said.
* Privacy: No new privacy information this week.

With the Asimo robot ringing the NYSE opening bell February 14, we thought it would be a
great idea for this weeks "What's Hip" to be a link to information about this robot. For
anyone who is not familiar with this robot or wants to find additional information about this
robot we highly recommend taking a few minutes to read about the robot or even watch some of
the movie clips available through the web site.
