 <title><![CDATA[GAO analysts ditch those  sticky notes]]></title>
 <description><![CDATA[Ever wonder how the General Accounting Office compiles a report full of seemingly endless details about projects at multiple agencies in quick fashion? For years, GAO analysts mostly did this work by hand, shuffling and reshuffling paper and electronic files gathered by auditors. One senior analyst, Kevin Dooley, figured there had to be a better way than paging through documents replete with hundreds of sticky notes.]]></description>

 <description><![CDATA[Viral hysteria? Or could it just be residual chills and fever from some kind of a bug? Romanian security software vendor BitDefender last month predicted &#147;computer alarms caused by the world&#146;s most publicized subject: West Nile virus.&#148; But isn&#146;t West Nile a physical, not digital, virus that infects the human bloodstream? Well, it&#146;s about to spread to PCs, according to BitDefender. &#147;Computer virus writers have a psychological niche to exploit. The mosquito-borne disease could easily become a computer infection,&#148; the vendor said. It&#146;s hard at work on an e-mail filter &#147;to protect users against possible false advice or solutions related to the West Nile virus.&#148; ]]></description>
