:: NEWS COCKTAIL aka BlahBlahBlog ::
"Everything is being compressed into tiny tablets. You take a little pill of news every day - 23 minutes - and that's supposed to be enough." -Walter Cronkite, RE TV news. The Web has changed that for many, however, and here is an extra dose for your daily news cocktail. This prescription tends to include surveillance and now war-related links, along with the occasional pop culture junk and whatever else seizes my attention as I scan online news sites.:: 11.29.2004 ::

Hackers defaced SCO Group's Web site on Monday, targeting the company's controversial claims to elements of the Linux operating system.
In a hack that began sometime before 5:30 a.m. PST Monday, someone placed a graphic atop SCO's home page that read "we own all your code" and "pay us all your money." The spoof used the same fonts and colors employed throughout the company's site, along with a copy of the software maker's official logo. By 8:30 a.m. PST, the altered graphic had been removed.
SCO representatives did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
Monday's hack is the latest in a string of attacks launched against SCO. Earlier this year, the company watched helplessly as a variant of the MyDoom computer virus crippled its site, forcing SCO to resort to an alternate Web address.

SCO Deserves It
Posted by: Onizuka
SCO, like MicroSoft, is a company that has no concept of innovation. Theft and blind accusations are where the money is for these two companies.
If I had a dollar for every line of code Micro$oft has stolen, I'd be richer than ol' Gates. Then again, if I had that money I'd become an investor in Apple Computers and watch them innovate and create 90% of the standards out there today.
