Sony ‘copy-protected’ CDs essentially install a rootkit onto your Windows system.

Sony ‘copy-protected’ CDs essentially install a rootkit onto your Windows system. For those of you who don’t know what a “rootkit” it — it’s a malicious piece of software (like a virus, worm or trojan horse) that enables other people to seize control of your computer remotely.

Don’t buy any music from the SOBs at Sony Music. Sony Music sucks.

Was Cheney directly involved in leaking a covert CIA agent’s name?

In a sure sign of its abandoning any hope of being taken seriously by anyone ever again, the White House decides to go after satirical site The Onion for using the Presidential Seal. This is the sort of rank, head-up-your-own-ass stupidity that you’d expect would be a joke on The Onion’s site, but it is in fact a very real action taken by a very real American Administration which seems intent on proving to the world that there is nothing too silly or ludicrous for the Bush White House to undertake.
