Nimda, Dick Tracy & Polaroid
The Australian Department of Defence confirmed its internal and external data network had been struck down by the nimda worm.
When cartoon detective Dick Tracy first appeared 70 years ago, his wristwatch communicator was pure fantasy. This week IBM and Citizen announced they would recruit dozens of Dick Tracys on Japanese and US university campuses to trial a wristwatch computer early next year.
Polaroid, which made cameras that developed photos on the spot, has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. The US firm has been struggling under a debt mountain for some months, and the announcement had been widely rumoured.
