An interesting CNN article regarding the installation of viruses during the manufacturing phase of electronic gadgets such as digital photo frames and I-pods.

This sparks an interesting question how many of you feel safe? Personally I don't worry too much about viruses and what not. If my computer crashed tomorrow I have backed up everything that I can't just re-install. With that being said though, there is a host of personal information on all of our computers that would have me in a bit of a rage (serious understatement) if I ever discovered it being piped to a destination somewhere.

Oh ya, email is the heart of work.

I'm sorry, but I heard of it like last month. It was Best Buy I believe.

I think that's a good thing cuz it will make people take security seriously. Be it home, computer, car, gadget, etc. Also, it will make the manufacturer tighten up their standards.
