Which is also known on the tubes are CurioCity.org. Here you’ll find the flotsam and jetsam from the collisions between my interests and the Internet, a bit of cosmic debris, and the small, crunchy bits that collect in the gutters of my mind. If you like what you find, you may also like the longer original works at Hidden City. On the other hand, if you are interested in the person behind this collection, you can find out more than you need to know here, or find my on seemingly numberless services as mkhall.

But, crucially, it’s not about the operating system that is being run on the computer, it’s the fleshy human sitting in front of it…I would argue that an Apple Mac user wanting to watch the ‘Erin Andrews Peephole Video’ is just as likely to download a bogus browser plug-in to help them do that, as a Windows user. And it doesn’t matter that Mac OS X will ask them to enter their username and password to install the plug-in—they want to watch the video, they will enter their username and password. Social engineering is the unifying threat that puts all computer users at risk, regardless of operating system. And that’s what most threats exploit.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-10444561-245.html?tag=nl.e404" target="_blank">In their words: Experts weigh in on Mac vs. PC security</a></em>http://curiocity.org/post/365536318http://curiocity.org/post/365536318Mon, 01 Feb 2010 15:13:14 -0500<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kw3w7thQYK1qzqu3bo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><blockquote></blockquote> <blockquote></blockquote></p>http://curiocity.org/post/365432517http://curiocity.org/post/365432517Mon, 01 Feb 2010 13:44:18 -0500<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kx61poqLC11qzpwi0o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://thedw.us/post/365164925/cannot-be-unseen-of-the-day-zombies-in-my-text" target="_blank">thedailywhat</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><b>Cannot Be Unseen of the Day:</b> Zombies?
