Is There a Cyberwar, and Is the US Losing It?

kenblakely writes "BusinessWeek is running a story asserting that the 'US is Losing the Global Cyberwar.' This whole cyberwar thing has been discussed a few times on Slashdot where the Chinese are asserted to be using cyberwarfare to attain military superiority. And, of course, there is the whole Russia-Georgia thing. Even the US military is getting in on the action, and the fear of a cyber Pearl Harbor seems almost palpable. I'm curious what the Slashdot crowd thinks about the growing fascination with 'cyberwar': hype to get more money and create new force structure, source of the next world war, or somewhere in between?"

Any magazine with name ending in "week" should be banned from slashdot stories.

But just like those mags need to sensationalize everything to sell some copies, slashdot needs those stories to get page views... Oh well...

The biggest threat to USA is its own debt who has reached more than 10 000 billions $ and increases everyday by 4 billions.

Digg indeed sucks.

Digg is a lot worse than this site. When you get a submission like this:

2 year old Baby Anna navigates and listens to Coldplay on an iphone

"iPhone is all about the intuitive user interface, without any instruction, my 2-year-old has figured out how to navigate through iPhone, making phone calls, and she loves to watch her favorite band COLDPLAY on iPhone."

You know that you are in for trouble. Because every toddler has a favorite band, and that band is COLDPLAY.
