After all, they’re more than internet meme machines. Earlier this week someone broke into Sarah Palin’s email box and posted some of [...]

The sorry state of online security is highlighted by this weeks announcement that Sarah Palin’s yahoo email was illegally accessed, and some of the content was pointed on 4chan. Wired has the skinny:
“As detailed in the postings, the Palin hack didn’t require any real skill. Instead, the hacker simply reset Palin’s password using her birthdate, [...]

This guy looses it; big time. I’m watching in horror, but at the same time you kind of feel for him; you know?
Also, I love the esthetics of this video. The order to chaos reminds me of a Heinlein novel, and I love the way his office mates buzz around like bees in a hive. [...]

I received one of your glossy advertisements in the mail today, asking me to “Come Back To Verizon Wireless BroadbandAccess”. As this flier indicates, I used to subscribe to Verizon’s EVDO service and do not anymore. What this flier does not indicate is that I did not willfully drop this service, you [...]
