Criminals 'may overwhelm the web'

Article


Up to a quarter of computers on the net may be used by cyber criminals in so-called botnets, said Vint Cerf, one of the fathers of the internet.

Technology writer John Markoff said: "It's as bad as you can imagine, it puts the whole internet at risk."

Operating systems like Microsoft Windows, meanwhile, still made it too easy for criminals to infiltrate them, the experts said.


It's about time.

Why am I cheering this kind of malfeasance on , you ask ?

Because no one makes any changes until they have to. No one stops raking in the money until the money stops pouring in. No one gives a rats behind about the consumer. Give us money. We have Vender Lock. You *MUST* buy our product , you have no choice , we copyrighted everything so our product is the only thing that works. And those other things that make good alternatives ? We launched a very expensive advertising campaign to smear their name and hide the fact that they're actually working and our junk is not. (Linux, Apple)

So hand over the dough and I don't give a dang about your problems.

Well... my computer doesn't work. And I hear the new models have the same problem as the old one , it was never fixed. And I'm not getting to use the thing anyways , why would I shell out 1500$ to 3000$ for something that aint going to do anything but annoy me and waste my time and cost a fortune in computer repairs and still be broken when all is said and done ?

Oops... YOU HAVE NO CHOICE GIMME YOUR MONEY ITS WINDOWS OR NOTHING !

Well, I'll go with nothing. It's cheaper and just about as effective as a computer thats always filled with infection and trojens anyways.

Oops...hmm... maybe we might have to do something about that...

too late now. You got a reputation now Micro$oft. Not trusting you anymore. yeah , I never heard of the competition (apple , Linux) or you smeared their names so I don't trust them either I've been tricked into thinking they're no better. But that just means I get out of computers entirely. Bye bye

Wait ..come back ...

*silence*

Dang..
