Err
How was this granted? Should I check if anybody has patented a method for opening a door by utilising a handle?

DOH
We live in the age of date, big data. Oh yes the data should be locked down, now there's a joke. I'm a sys admin and all their data is mine. Lucky for them I care. OK so the bag of shit is finally in the open and attracting flies. I'm just a bit confused at the surprise and outrage. Don't get me wrong, I'd have happily had all the data they held on me put on a hard drive so I could ram it up any civil servants/politicians arse who thought it was acceptable to spy on me; 20 years ago before data blood sucking got to the ridiculous point it is today. Pissed off yes, outraged and surprised; no not that fucking stupid.
Don't use facebook/twitter or any of that crap (got good friends to talk to at the pub); certainly not a terror threat. But I probably will fill a good number of hard drives.
I'll file the corners to a point and somebody start passing me the civil servants/politicians; while where at it lets include a few big stock holders in those big data sucking corporations. Don't worry about Vaseline, I'm sure I can find a hammer around her with "vengeance is mine" written on it somewhere.
The point is we knew, maybe not Eadon, he was preoccupied with hating the office ribbon. But the rest of us did.

Apple to sue Christians
An Apple layer announced today that a patent infringement case was to be taken out against all branches of Christianity. Mr. Ian Andrew Michel Dickless, chief legal brief for Apple, claimed in papers presented to the court ; that the use of an apple with a bite mark out of it in the story of Adam and Eve; was an infringement on patents held by Apple regarding UI design, software coding with regard to non citrus fruit and how fingers can be used to manipulate organic material. Mr. I AM Dickless also claim trademark infringement, which he says is made most dire and heinous as competitors were using this most tragic of stories, to sully the shining saintly image that is of the Apple. When questioned about how historically Apple could make these claims a member of the legal team produced evidence showing that the banishment from paradise must have happened during the iOS6 update period. He was quoted as saying, “If Eve had still been on iOS5 she would have been able to find her way back to paradise; instead she was left to wander a land warped, confused and unknown even to those who lived there”. Another member of the legal team was unable to comment as he was eating the children of a family who owned an old and slightly dysfunctional Samsung fridge freezer. When asked about damages Mr. I AM Dickless fell to his knees threw his hands in the air and announced (in tongues) “No court in the world has the authority to put a price on the damage done. So when due and fair legal process has taken its course; and we have the bustards against the wall; we’ll have a séances and ask Steve how big the next boat should be”.

I use bugger all of them, but that wasn't the point of the post. It's already been shown that your more likely to hit a compromised web site with innocent surfing habits (news, films ect) than paying to go to the good old trusted pron sites. Most of these hacked sites will use some form of exploit vector that gives them the best chance at spreading their empire. Now I could have read this exploit wrong but it seems a pretty sure fire way for most non techs to get hit, unless your offering to be their system admin and set up all those lovely workarounds recommended by M$.
So Gran hits her favorite new site (The telegraph, bless her hart) and due to poor eyesight, the strong smell of wee and her total lack of any tech savey is redirected to a page that says click here to download the news item (or lack of being the telegraph), opps.
Your comment sort of reminds me of the Sony boss who said "why should people worry about a root kit, most people don't even know what one is."
