Fuck.
Someone start writing a virus collection that will inert such a creation make sure it works on all known architectures.
Fuck yeah, just got an original fallout 1 copy boxed for £2!
cant wait to get this installed on my pentium 1.
what? safari on linux? more like puffin on android.

I have 2 boxed copies of Quake 2 around here
For some reason though, I got them from the same shop and one was EU, but the other is Oceana
There was also some additional memory for my soundblaster 16, but it wasn't in a static bag and would probably be dead, time to order it online instead.
Aren't Chrome and Safari exactly the same just with a different UI? They're both webkit browsers.

But remember that Chrome is made by Google and is therefore slightly less evil
wow ok this is actually quite bad, for some reason when I type it doesn't feel as smooth (no hardware speedy-uppy shit?) and rendering of italic and thin text in general is fucking horrible
I learnt something today.

I would say that Google is more evil, by trying to control everything related to the technology we use every day (social networking, mobile phones, etc)
Apple just makes shiny overpriced bullshit.

Google aren't evil, you're just a paid goon from Microsoft!

And so far I have been pleased with what they have done.
I would rather have Android over iOS,
Google + over Facebook,
and Google search over Bing.

A while back my father decided to "upgrade" to an iPhone 4. His phone at the time was the Droid X2. He then gave the deactivated phone to my sister because she wanted to play dress up games on it, even though I had asked for it beforehand.
Yesterday, he got somewhat pissed because his iPhone kept dropping calls. I explained it to him that it was a hardware problem, but he said that "No it isn't, Apple fixed it already." I then showed him an article on it, but he insisted that there was no hardware problem.
Ten minutes later he came up to me and kindly asked me how he was supposed to fix it.

After some googling around, mpasdlta.vdm is MSE's definitions file. Basically, it found adware [b]in its own definitions[/b]. Bravo, MSE, I didn't even know that was possible.
That's way too young.

Actually, if I was writing a virus, I might try hiding it there. It's something that gets accessed frequently (if you have MSE, that is), and it's likely to be whitelisted.

I wonder how much clicking can it make on a mechanical keyboard.
CLICKCLIKCLICK FUCK I DIED CLICKCLICKCLICK

Not even Antiviruses are safe.

Go read "Reflections on Trusting Trust". Particularly the bit about infecting a CPU's microcode. Then you'll realize that nothing is safe.

Good read but caused some good paranoia in me for a few weeks.
