  4. Spammers on Google to Use PC Microphones to Listen In? · · Score: 1

    If Google really does this, can you imagine what the spammers will try?

    Maybe they'll buy those blink ads on the radio. Maybe spam email will start containing sound clips. Maybe they'll distribute ring tones with high-pitched noises that make the right hash value.

    On the other hand, maybe everyone will just get Blue Bunny ads whenever the ice cream truck rolls by.

  16. Re:Question for the masses. on Linux 2.6.17 Released · · Score: 1

  25. Why Drudge Rocks on The Surprising Truth About Ugly Websites · · Score: 1

    From the article:

    Drudge Report is a very simple website that is essentially a collection of links to news stories.

    Drudge Report is not popular because it looks like shit. It's popular because a lot of us like Drudge's personality and his choice in news stories. It's just like why we like Rush Limbaugh, Dog The Bounty Hunter, CSI, and The Apprentice. Everything comes together: personalities, content, format, and implementation.
