Cool T-Shirt
I bought this t-shirt from the Moddified Madness car show. Since I'm into speed bikes and anything that risks life and limb, I thought this shirt was fitting for me. It reads "The best things in life are DANGEROUS". My Mom will be sure to hate it.
Download Tiger OS X 10.4
Asking for a little help from those of you that download torrents, especially those of you that have downloaded Tiger. I attempted to download it the other night and canceled the transfer after about 30 minutes of the 1KB per second speed I was getting from over 30 seeds. That just doesn't make sense why it's so slow. Anyone else have this problem and if so, what was your solution? 2.5GB ISO image file name: 04.17.05.Mac.OS.X.10.4.Tiger-XiSO.torrent

Kevin Rose Bids Farewell
Co-host of "Attack Of The Show", formerly "The ScreenSavers", has announced he is breaking his 4 year contract and calling it quits at the G4 network. Personally I am glad to hear it as G4 has literally destroyed the once informative and entertaining TechTV. Kevin now will be devoting more time to his web cast show Systm (similar to his other site thebroken.org) and also working with the old TechTV staff on the podcast radio show TWIT (This Week In Tech).
Your Chance To Meet Bill Gates
You could meet the chairman of Microsoft, but you'll have to profess a passion for Windows first. Microsoft is looking for true stories about people using Windows computers to pursue a passion or hobby. The company plans to use them in a marketing blitz tied to the 20th anniversary of Windows' debut. To entice essay submissions, Microsoft is offering a number of prizes, including the chance to meet Gates in Seattle and appear in the ad campaign.

Sex In Public Places
On my local TV news station the other day they had a report on "the top public places to have sex around the city". They set up hidden cameras to catch people in the act and then announced where the best locations were. No joke. I am trying to find the link to that report and I will post it when/if I come across it...I'll be taking notes. ;)
Crotch Rocket Hacking
Combine two of my loves, motorcycles and hacking, then wait for my eyes to light up! This is an interesting article for all the biker boys out there. A Ninja ZX-6R (my last bike was a ZX-12R) is modded/hacked in a step-by-step guide to give you an extra 10hp. You gotta love more speed!
2 New IM Viruses
AOL's AIM instant messaging software has a worm that takes all your buddies from the infected user and then sends instant messages to all your buddies with a message like this, "Hey check this out," and when a user clicks on the link the computer is infected. On computers where the infection is good the worm creates a backdoor into Internet Relay Chat to run and download files at the attacker's request giving remote access to that PC. The effects of this worm are nothing to worry about because it is just a nuisance as of right now. The names of these worms given by antivirus companies are "Oscarbot-B" and "Doyorg".
Never ones to miss out on the opportunity to hijack some popular culture to spread their evil wares, virus makers have been attacking IM services with a worm and phishing scam around the new Star Wars movie, "Revenge of the Sith". AOL Instant Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger users have reportedly been targeted by the virus. In the case of the AOL worm, the message text adds: "hehe, i found this funny movie." The word "this" is a hyperlink. The Yahoo! message references "StarGames" in the link. The AOL message downloads malicious code which experts warn could grant someone control over your computer - the Yahoo! one, meanwhile, is a phishing scam redirecting to a page which looks like Yahoo! and encourages visitors to enter personal details. McAfee warned there had only been one report of the AOL worm in the wild so far, but it could spread over the coming days.
