Isn't the joke on us? For making it possible that a student boy can graft up code that is capable of damaging countless PC's in a jiffy? And judging from sales figures here and there the average consumer seems to shout: MORE, MORE, MORE!

Do you actually believe what's said in the PR releases that are copied as is by plenty of news agencies as if it was actual news? It's like that story of the three little pigs. Or like that second hand car salesman that turns a car wreck into a hot machine with some duck tape and a repaint. People stand in line to buy such cars. And the few that complain can get a new car. Also held together with duch tape and a repaint. But hey, it does look cool, doesn't it? Never mind the lack of good safety belts and locks, how often do you need those anyway?
