Stardate 20010801.1408 (On Screen): Today's nomination for biggest tech non-story to get widespread coverage is the resurgence of the
Code Red worm which was predicted for today but doesn't seem to have happened. Apparently a lot of the hysteria began with cries of doom by Steve Gibson, who seems well on his way to squandering years worth of credibility he's built up. So today after a great deal of coverage which is proving that it was a non-event, this story from CNet which almost seems to be rooting for it to actually happen after all. I think the reason is that CNet is feeling a bit sheepish for having been taken in by the hype, and is sort of hoping for at least a
little bit of a disaster, just so they can feel less foolish. Too bad for them.
(discuss)Update 20010802: Seems it was never really a threat in the first place.
