Autonomous Intelligent Botnets Bouncing Back
coomaria writes "Thought that 2009 was the year botnets died?

April 19, 2010, 16:30. SkyNet becomes self-aware. One minute later, SkyNet realizes he's just a world-wide spambot. Nine milliseconds later, SkyNet terminates itself.
And there was much rejoicing.
Yea, you're right. Botnets are homo.
I hate printers.
