* AdWords need supervision. Google's advertising engine is a quick source of revenue for many SMBs. But its AdWords system seems to have been hacked by malware dorks and is now distributing said evil code to unsuspecting recipients. Which would be your customers. Google better get on the stick with that. (Source: InfoWorld)
* McKinnon says hacker damage exaggerated. The pathetically infamous "NASA hacker", Gary McKinnon just went on record saying that businesses are exaggerating the amount of damage hackers cause. Then again, he's awaiting deportation for computer crimes, so I'm guessing he's not entirely objective. (Source: Silicon.com)
* AOL betas Yahoo-copy home page. In line with its new Web-only direction, AOL just betaed a look at its new home page. And it's Yahoo. Like almost a pixel for pixel copy. Doesn't AOL have any creative people of its own over there? (Source: BetaNews)
* Wikipedia for the legal set. This is cool for SMBers who need to catch up on legislation that may be affecting their business. WashingtonWatch.com is a Wikipedia-style site designed to explain new legislation and trends as well as engender discussion. (Source: PC World)
