MS security chief becomes DHS cybersecurity boss

Wait a minute..

So a Microsoft Exec is now going to be in charge of the security for DHS computers here in the US...?

How expensive is it to live in England, and do you know where I can find a good IT job?

Hulu's Hollywood overlords force Boxee block

Lets ENCOURAGE Piracy!!!

I love the mentality here...remove a solution where you can make money on advertising, and send the (already tech savvy) users of this Boxee product back to The Pirate Bay to get their content!

If these pigopolists want to put advertisments in games, make the stinking games cheaper.

Internet Archive bestows golden pipes on public housing

Internets to Defeat Poverty

Huzzah! Three cheers for the Internet; the slayer of poverty everywhere!

US spooks see Sadville as potential terrorist paradise

Pandelierium

This should be good.

Cyber-jiihadists in Sadville detonating their way to martyrdom by programing flying penises to terrorize the furry/bdsm/(insert whatever sexual deviant group here) communities.

I would ask the author to provide the name of their source in the CIA, so I can begin the letter campaign to have those at the CIA responsible for this Act of Ultimate Boobery sacked... unbelievable the ways they find to spend my tax dollars.
