HP Spying More Elaborate Than Reported

theodp writes "The NY Times reports the secret investigation of news leaks at HP was more elaborate than previously reported. In addition to illicitly gathering private phone records almost from the start, detectives reportedly followed and videotaped some directors and journalists, were given photos of reporters to help identify them, and tried to plant surveillance software on a CNET reporter's computer. HP also fessed up to spying on its own spokesman, whose personal phone records were taken."

    In a related story, HP has announced that they have embarked upon a thousands of generations long breeding program, for the purpose of creating a male who can be in all places at once, to ensure their total surveillance of all things.

    Islamic pundits work feverishly to pervert the facts and manufacture outrage. Rioting, burning, and murder ensues. The rest of the world cowers in fear and clings helplessly to the shattered chimera of the so-called "moderate" Muslim. Insert date and location as appropriate.
