Tech: Protip: If you don’t want the Conficker virus, don’t search for it

Symantec, the world’s largest security firm, says that the Conficker virus (also known as Downadup) is spreading in part because those spreading the virus have stacked the deck in search engines. Many search results will automatically infect you with the virus, Symantec says. That’s lame. :( source

Tech: Electronic Arts learns from its DRM mistakes of “Spore” past

Well, Electronic Arts has apparently learned its lesson; “The Sims 3,” out later this year, will not use any DRM at all beyond a serial code. Someone got burned. source

Tech: Classy: A Facebook group changes from pro-Jews to pro-Hitler

  • It baited and switched hundreds of people. Almost 2,000 people were shocked to find out that the group had changed its name from “I Heart Jews” to “Hitler: Great Modern Man of History.” (It appears to have been switched back now.)
