Arrested for Planting Spyware on College Compus

AndrewM1 writes "In what may serve as a cautionary tale for people who use computers in public areas, Douglas Boudreau allegedly installed keystroke-monitoring software on more than 100 computers at Boston College and then watched as thousands of people sent e-mail, downloaded files and banked online. He then stole $2000 with the information he gleamed."

    No shit. Piss-ass poor spelling and grammar in the body of a story is bad enough, but misspelling a word in the story's title is just pathetic. This is only made worse by the fact that at least some of the editors have probably attended college at a campus, seeing the word in print at least a few dozen times, at some point or other. They may have all dropped out, but that's no excuse.
