- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+119"Symantec Antivirus Research reported that virus sightings were down by 95% this morning"
ha ha ha... - nusblog, on 10/12/2007, -5/+107Uh guys - this is a joke. In case you don't know.
- Keropipi, on 10/12/2007, -18/+70that page was created in 2005
dugg down. - LordFate, on 10/12/2007, -6/+44[quote]A representative from Lavasoft, which sells Ad-Aware another spyware removal program, complained that Microsoft was using its monopoly and knowledge of the operating system to "offer features that others can't match."
"Tough *****," said Weatherbee.[/quote]
I smell a troll. - Astronutty, on 10/12/2007, -2/+35This is a parody site... I quite enjoyed this though.
edit: Nusblog beat me to it. - 47knight, on 10/12/2007, -1/+29"Many computer users did not view this new "feature" positively. "I tried to check the weather this morning and all my little blue 'e' icons were missing. I couldn't get to the Internet at all. I guess I'll have to get a new computer," said Windows XP user Graham Newton."
LMAO! - CrimsonBlur, on 10/12/2007, -4/+32God damn it! Would people please stop putting "title says it all" as the freaking description of the story? God damn that is freaking annoying the hell out of me! Just put a simple description so people can get an idea of the source and content of the damn article.
- smartssa, on 10/12/2007, -2/+27It's BBSpot, a satire site.
This shouldn't be in the category it's in. - coyforce, on 10/12/2007, -7/+29I'm sure no one that uses digg even noticed that the extra piece of malware was gone from their systems.
- ij00mini, on 10/12/2007, -3/+23sorry for the caps attack, but...
TITLE DOES NOT SAY IT ALL, GIVE US SOME MORE INFO
this just in: CAPS LOCK IS THE CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL - MikeKnoop, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19How about a policy of putting "satire" somewhere in the title or description?
-Mike - nauzilus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20Damn it, I knew it was too good to be true!
That'll teach me for believing all I read on the internet ;) - reddevil3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18^ comment says it all.
- mc7winkie, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18"Tough *****," said Weatherbee.
Greatest line ever!!!! - VesperDEM, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Is it too much to ask digger's to post the date of the article they are highlighting so that folks who read the headline don't get all worked up over nothing. If an article is nearly a year old, it's not really all that important, it still may be funny or of interest, but it's not relevant to current events.
Just a thought... - merreborn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Whaddya know?
The title *doesn't* say it all!
I swear to god, if I had my way, the penalty for posting a "title says it all" submission would be sterilization. - blazeinferno, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11I was about to go get that antispyware tool but then I realized it was fake.
- MrSpookyPants, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Do people actually not read through the comments before they post one?
/shakes head - prammy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Because then it would not be as easy to find out the MS haters who do not ever read the article before commenting on it.
- gunnmjk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6How about instead of "Title says it all" it has "A funny satire"
- Promantarius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6There is a comedy section ya'know. Personally I don't really have anything against posting satire here, however your target audience is probably looking in a completely different section. I'm guessing people come here for security information, and go to comedy for satire.
- inobla, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6"I couldn't get to the Internet at all. I guess I'll have to get a new computer," said Windows XP user Graham Newton."
That sounds a lot more characteristic of a typical mac user to me. - mikev, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I know someone who had this happen to them too. They sent me a email telling me the internet wasn't working..
/kevin - sophiaperennis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I wouldn't consider that a false positive at all.
- 4Prophecy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Actually I was digging it because I enjoyed the satire.
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5it's a joke. i didn't even have to read it..
actually, i remember reading it at least a year ago. - Karyyk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5And yet another Digger with no sense of humor...
- sctechguy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5It seems that there is a growing plague of people who can't write a simple damn description of the article they're submitting. Seriously, how hard is it to write a description of something, that, by your submitting it, shows that you have some sort of interest in it? At least feign some sort of intelligence, and don't insult ours, by writing: "title says it all".
- DamageInc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Not only is this over sixth months old, but its not even a serious article.
Yet another misleading, shocking title gets an article dugg by people who don't even visit the site.... - Danoz, on 10/12/2007, -6/+10The related news gave it away for sure:
"Microsoft Announces Ads for Blue Screen of Death"
"Microsoft Granted Patent for Creating Insecure Software"
"Microsoft Bundles Worm with IIS" - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5No the title doesn't say it all.
If it did, there'd be no need for a summary.
Please summarize.
Also, it would be nice if you could give a 'heads up' that your article is a complete lie.
Er, I mean, satyre. - CadenceKid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4link to download?
- redforty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"Not only is it able to remove spyware from the system, but also the source of most spyware [Internet Explorer]. Our competitors can't match that."
lol - Logan, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7BBSpot is a joke site, guys.
- captjc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Ha Ha,
That is SO Graham Newton.
/obscure? - myfanwy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4no *****........
- xenoNfluX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I love bbspot and all, but what in the hell is a bbspot link doing in Security?
No digg. - yahoofrom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No, don't put "satire" label cuz that'd ruin it.
- Splitt3rxx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1why do lame jokes always get dugg up?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@nusblog: Microsoft's AntiSpyware Tool Removes Internet Explorer from your ass.
- Boondoggle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1how about the policy of reading with brain toggled "ON"?
- Boondoggle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Look! It's Mr. PartyPooperPants!

- mapkinase, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I liked this "Windows XP user":
Many computer users did not view this new "feature" positively. "I tried to check the weather this morning and all my little blue 'e' icons were missing. I couldn't get to the Internet at all. I guess I'll have to get a new computer," said Windows XP user Graham Newton - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Its funny to see all those stupid anti-MS fanboys digging up the first comment because they don't have a sense of humor, or even the capacity to spot an obvious joke.
- DeepSkyDiver, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Satire misrepresented.. dugg down
- apothekari, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Channeling Nelson Muntz...
HA HA! - diggnationdevon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'll tell ya, they sure got a good anti-spyware app out. Removing Internet Explorer dramatically decreases your risk for getting spyware on your computer in the first place. But if I do remember correctly, they aquired GIANT therefore I can't exactly give Microsoft much credit for making the app.
- rowanjl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Apparently Lotus, liquilife and weird have all been struck down with a case of "moron"...
