I'm sorry to butt in on all the back-patting and machismo going around here, but the fact of the matter is one person was abused. Whether or not her story was exploited by her publisher is another story.
I was reading all the "ME TOO!" hate 'reviews' on amazon.com and I saw one which suggested that the real victim here was the original owner of the katie.com domain. Give me a break.
All of the sudden hijacking a domain is worse than having someone sexually penetrate you and humiliate you. You guys are real heroes.
Yeah, this is exactly what we want to do to virus writers - give them recognition and a "ranking". Jesus Christ on a pogo stick.It's bad enough that they feel the need to "compete" against other virus writers for some internet version of "street cred" but now we're fucking ranking them?How long until people start writing viruses just to "get points" on some chart somewhere? Christ, you people have no logic whatsoever.
Oh give me a break. I guess it's better to supress the fact that one man may be responsible for 70% of virus traffic. We'll all be better off, because people will stop writing viruses right?
As you inanely already mentioned they already are competing amongst themselves for street cred. And to answer your question, yes we are ranking them but it's not like we're "now fucking ranking them" we have been for a long time. It's called the Internet Storm Center.
You really should find something else to rant about.
Wow, people are bashing Apple fanboys for defending Apple, and attacking Apple for invoking DMCA which they haven't yet.
Apple will just modify the iPod's Firmware to break harmony'd songs. Then maybe harmony will try some more. Who cares?
Let's get vocal if Apple actually invokes the bullshit DMCA, taking Real to court.
Why do people still think this is funny? There's at least one in every single news piece remotely regarding real.
The insensitive clod posts are even more funny than this.

What are you talking about? iPhoto has fixed minor issues with smartbooks and european books. How can you not think this is interesting news?
