The “web parrot” isn’t anything super new, just a nice front end to it. I had something very similiar working back in ’97 when I had my webcam up and running in my house. I had the camera remote controlled via the web and a speaker connected to it. The operator could control the camera via the web, which would send signals to the pan/tilt control via serial signals and a perl script, and also play out any type of text typed in by the user through another perl script. It was always a joy to hear “get up you lazy sack” in the middle of the night by a psuedo british (the accent I picked) female computer voice.

I like the UNIX command line pizza ordering software. It reminds me of the online banking way back then.

Even though you will probably delete this comment once again.. here’s an excerpt of the original article.

“The Sober.P worm is still spreading fast and made up almost 5 percent of all e-mail traffic on Friday morning, according to a U.K. antivirus company.”

And yes, I still think it’s bad journalism not to verify the sources. And no, it’s nothing personal.

Well, us Mac-babies don’t need to worry about that Mozilla exploit. It apparently creates a malitious batch/exe file on the user’s HD.

Google was not hacked. It was simply a DNS outage. The reason you saw that search page is because when a browser cannot find a domain name it falls back to appending various other TLDs on the end. In this case, since http://www.google.com/ went down due to the error, browsers reverted to http://www.google.com.net/ which is the page you saw. “Sogo” just got lucky.
