Nothing to fear....unless you are a kiddie predator, or just plain vanilla variety, or a thief who loves those cracked software programs, and the yummy free music tracks of the latest wacko artist and those hot movies.
Then again perhaps you had a flair for math at an early age, and discovered what you could do with a good algorithm's, a hex editor, C++ and some re-engineering software and decided that someones privacy and self respect was some liberal or Conservative plot to thwart your F...U mentality. So you wander at night poking your tool into anyones business you can crack for amusement, happy finger destruction, email confetti delivery, or those great "others" accounts or CC numbers. Besides you need a new an bigger HD...or that ultimate game machine.
Of course you could also be a plotting terrorist and you watched too many Pinky and the Brain cartoons, learned all his mistakes, and think you're smarter than a cartoon. Besides there is always someone nifty and current you can hate to justify your plot of taking over the world at any given time.
OK, so maybe your a good guy doll, and not into any of those fun things, but you're not real bright either, so you save your backups, and data on some server run by some company on the net so you don't lose all that precious material besides you have to trust someone else's mind sometime...don't you?? Your own is just not up to the task!!
9/11 and previous attacks elsewhere not on American soil changed the world, and most especially the world of the Internet and it's access. Pinky and the Brain became less of a cartoon, and more a reality, and there was a good reason Microsoft was not dismantled, and Vista was born (how long was it under developement..think back...think towers..) and that article only covers a small percent of what it's capable of. But your a good guy doll, and you play it straight, and have nothing to fear and 1984 was just a good read!! Oh...don't forget your tinfoil hat...I think the pyramid style is back in vogue.
