Before you check out this link... try to guess what its about before you go to the site:

Possibly because the casual user doesn't do anything important on the computer. Me for example, I don't give out credit card number on the internet and all my passwords are to pretty useless e-mail accounts. I guess I just don't trust the internet enough to do anything "risky".

Use a metal hat like the one Magneto has. It prevents mind reading for sure.

Actually, Albert, it's not the data on your computer that's valuable, it's the stuff you do with it. Passwords for e-mail, credit card numbers, online banking; all of this data is valuable in the hands of someone with bad intentions. But, apparently, this is not an important concern for consumers...

Alison, isn't the point of a tin-foil hat to prevent people from reading/controlling your mind with some sort of EM signal? Wouldn't antennae make it easier (at least, easier than for a hat without antennae) for them to do so?

Of course, I could be wrong; I was wrong about the term. Apparently the correct terminology is afdb (aluminum foil deflector beanie).

Just saw Star Wars holiday special... I want that hour of my life back!

so apparently I'm one of those secretly tinfoil-hat- wearing people who doesn't like spy ware for the fact that they don't like people spying on them... awesome. I think my tinfoil hat will have antennae.

Most people don't have anything valuable on their computer. Or if they do a hacker could easily get it using Kazaa or something faster. Therefore people care about how fast they get somewhere rather then if someone is hitching a ride. Well that is what I think anyways.

Oh, this is good. News Corp, owned by Rupert Murdoch (a.k.a. Beelzebub) wants to get into the video game market. I see only good things happening here. Titles like Doom 4: The Clinton II Presidency or Tony Fox Pro Skater. My personal favorite, though, will be All Your Base Are Belong To Rupert (only because I think most people will be reluctant to buy Worship Your One and True Media God, Rupert Murdoch XVI; sometimes game franchises just go stale.)

Random thought: Why is it that the reason people get anti-spyware tools isn't because they're afraid of hackers violating their privacy, but rather because poorly written spyware tools eat up bandwidth and processor time, slowing down computers? If spyware was written efficiently, and didn't have a noticeable impact on your computer's runtime, would people (well, specifically, people without the standard tinfoil hat) care?

Video of Ashlee Simpson booed off stage.

She's still totally fuckin hot though. Ain't nobody gonna take that away from her.

Everybody skip my band's show tomorrow and go see these guys instead:
