Evening tech news: Code Red II, a new worm regarded as more threatening than its predecessor, is now infecting systems around the world, although systems patched to prevent infection from the original Code Red are fully protected; numbers from a Techies.com study show that more tech workers are willing to relocate in order to secure their next job; and InterTrust and DataPlay are partnering to introduce DataPlay discs and devices that hold 11 hours of compressed music, thwart piracy efforts, and are designed to replace the CD.

    I know it's obvious, but a lot of people panic when they hear VIRUS and need to know. I was asked by quite a few non-techy people who own Macs if they should be worried...
