First Mobile Phone Virus Nears 2nd Birthday
An anonymous reader writes "ZDNet is reporting that the first mobile phone virus is almost 2 years old. F-Secure's chief research officer Mikko Hyppönen claims that although there are now over 200 mobile phone viruses the problem is unlikely to get as bad as it has with PCs. 'The difference is that PC viruses were first found in 1986 and mobile phone viruses were found in 2004... So we are living in the equivalent of 1988 but in 1988 Microsoft or hardware manufacturers were not doing anything about viruses ... In the mobile phone world, all the mobile phone manufacturers are working on the problem as are the phone operating system manufacturers, like Symbian, Microsoft and Palm. Operators are on top of this.'"
The summary.... is so confusing but i only read it once and it gave me a headache.... so i wonder if the people at zdnet passed grade school grammar... in the interweb world, all the article writers are making run-on sentences with no punctuation as are the submitters on digg, youtube, myspace, and slashdot. My migraine is on top of this one.
Frankly, I think there are more illiterates where people can't read or write.
Illiterate in the sense the GP used - people who can write, but don't correctly use then/than.
There are shills on slashdot. Apparently, I'm one of them.
