Stolen Cell Phone Shares Thieves' Photos?
eastbayted writes "A man from Berkeley, Calif. had his cell phone swiped. Soon after, the ShoZu starting uploading pictures to his Flickr account taken by the thieves — for the world to see. There's one of an unidentified woman eating something chocolatey, and a couple of either a chihuahua or a large rat. Seems this guy had installed some software on his phone to automatically perform those photo uploads, and whoever took his phone didn't realize it That's his story, anyway ... some people doubt it. He's a Yahoo employee. Yahoo owns Flickr. This is all pretty good PR for the photo site, no? He claims: 'People assume I'm doing it for self-promotion, marketing, a hoax or something like that. I'm talking to you because I want it to be known that it's not a hoax. I'm just too ordinary. I'm just too unclever for that.'" Update: 09/02 05:48 GMT by Z : Made the quote more obvious.
what the fuck?
Full service?
"Flickr is having a massage." The hell?
I hope they post pics! Especially if it's one of those really FUN massages!!
The dangers of knowledge trigger emotional distress in human beings.
I hope they're using the Linux massage API and not trying to tickle the ioctls themselves...
>... A crappy ending to what could have been a pretty neat story, if you ask me. -- If only we could make stupidity more painful... "I knew there was a reason to leave .sigs on. Is it me or is this .sig funny in this context?" OK, maybe not funny, but interesting nonetheless...
AC's modded -6. I don't see you, I don't mod you, anything you say is lost. Don't like it? Don't be a coward.
