Despite a lone report claiming that online piracy is the primary source of malware, spam still reigns supreme as today's main infection vector and the go-to tool of online criminals, according to a report published yesterday by Finnish cyber-security firm F-Secure.

A few years ago, I crafted a bootable floppy disk and a retro game which fit in a tweet. Since then, Twitter doubled the length of tweets, so I decided to handcraft a bootable CD. The bootable disk runs a slightly improved version of tron. I'll just be boggling in the corner
Real developers just tweet their programs?

Artificial general intelligence (AGI) can be defined as artificial intelligence (AI) that matches or surpasses human intelligence. It is, in brief, the type of intelligence through which a machine is able to perform any intellectual task that a human being can. And, it is currently one of the main objectives of AI research. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

And here I thought it was AOL making a comeback

I note they are targeting some of the less mainstream departments.
I'm not even sure there is a CD player in our office and there are 300 computers on my floor alone.
