Alexander, Steve. "Computer Security: Battening the Patches on 'Patch Tuesday'." Minneapolis StarTribune 15 Feburary 2009. 17 February 2009 <http://www.startribune.com/business/ 39601002.html?elr=KArksUUUU>.

Alexander describes the work of Shavlik Technologies of Roseville. Shavlik Technologies contracts with companies to provide them up-to-date "software patches," which "protect businesses and sonsumers from the latest hacker threats and computer program errors." "Patch Tuesday" is a reference to the second Tuesday of every month, which is when the software patches are typically distributed. This has become a multi-million dollar endeavor. If you are interested in computer security, then this will be a useful article for you.
