Wow, is it just me or did that interview really rag on Wikipedia
"Now, you - you see the word Wikipedia, so you think encyclopedia and you think "Oh, okay, this is valid, good information." But yet, if you look at what happened to John, that's not the case, so, ah, what are you doing to make sure this doesn't happen to people like John Siegenthaler, who has an incredible reputation and was far from being associated with any assassination attempt on J.F.K?"
If they make these things look like security holes no-one will suspect.
Google: Help Help, Microsoft is trying to run us out of business...

I think the entire premise this is built on is flawed, It still requires to be infected before the virus/worm can be identified. What someone needs to do is create a program that'll guess at what the next viruses'll do, then protect in advance. Or better yet, make it so that people can't get viruses, surely a computer can detect the rudimentary social engineering used by Malware authors. Maybe a program that can forecast what another program'll do, and then, if it's harmful, prevent the execution thereof. Call it "Walk Without Rythm" because you won't attract a worm.
I can just hear the Chapin tracks right now... "I am the digital junkie, using that AMD (D... D... D...) Got over 10,000 songs, and this music's rootkit free! The Anonymous coward, you read but never see (C... C... C...) Trying out the new hard drive, Direct from Harry... to me!"
Barbie reports that she will not drop her divorce litigation against Ken. As many of you know Ken ran off with Mitch over 3 years ago, Barbie also commented she is very happy with her new boyfriend, G.I. Joe who is currently overseas fighting COBRA in Afghanastan.
I didn't think my opinion of the digital culture could sink any lower. When you look back and examine old BBS's you see stuff that might make the average person squirm. You find manuals on how to drive someone to suicide, you find ways to destroy a vax system from a remote location. You find e-books that make Chuck Palanhuk and his Fight Club buddies look like a bunch of weaklings. You can find manuals on how to make an exploding floppy disk for heavens sake.
But amid all that text, all the Warezed floppys, all the unreliable explosive guides, There were people you felt you could trust. We had that with the modern web.
Now when you scour the internet you find a variety of things. Blogs, Memes, Warezed isos, Pirate movies, any album ever recorded, any type of fetish you could concieve. With this comes new problems, Malware, Trojans, Worms. No operating system is safe anymore.
With the digital war between blackhat and security escalating newer and nastier ways to cripple PCs are becoming ever more prevailent. Most security centers today have not implemented full rootkit detection. So are they losing? That is a matter for the individual to decide.
But as for myself, my faith has been broken. The faith that Grisoft and Microsoft will truely protect me. The faith that a website at sony.com will not try to install things on my PC. The faith that free software will truely stay free or will go the way of Div-X 5 and Daemon Tools 4, falling prey to temtations of revenue from adware.
In many ways we may be more physically secure today, but I think I speak for everyone who maintains a windows partition, for whatever reasons, in saying we just don't know anymore.

Why else would Microsoft violate copyright law when they're already in Anti-trust hot water? Because it makes them look like friggen Angels when compared to Sony. With people boycotting sony product, and two different data formats pending, HD-DVD, from the company that doesn't put a rootkit on your PC is going to be a much more appealing bet.

Why, with computers running at one petaflop, they should be able to play Doom 3 at medium quality.
I beg to differ. Derek Smart clocked in at 15.4 seconds.
