News: Controversial Vigilante Screensaver Shut Down; Trojan Warning.
Just days after they released their controversial anti-spam screensaver, Lycos Europe has shut down the campaign. The new program, “Make Love Not Spam”, was designed to actively handcuff spam servers by choking their bandwidth connection. Now, Lycos Europe has shut the campaign down for reasons still unclear.
To further compound this juicy controversy, a new Trojan horse virus has popped up, masquerading as the Make Love Not Spam screensaver. Be warned: this Trojan is NOT the MLNS program!
In the blogging world, the concept of a meme is viral; it propagates and it is mutating as it propagates. It originated from a context that was observed in blogging; a person will blog about a certain topic and some people who gets to read the blog do the same thing or same post on their blogs with a slight difference or modifications. Sometimes, a meme can be a list of questions created by one blogger, and other bloggers will answer the questions and tag other bloggers to do the same and so on. Some are in the form of activity like weekly posting of photographs or poetry.
