Yea this is just scaremongering. These are the same people who think an oil well deep in the Gulf could blow up causing an unprecedented catastrophe.

Wha-?

“He picked up something and spread it around…”

Just like syphilis.

I love me a good conspiracy theory and this is excellent material. 1984 is just around the corner…

However, I think at least we are a long way off from someone hacking our pacemaker. Our computerized, net-able, automobiles though, THAT’S more of an immediate concern for hacking… someone locks your doors, cuts your breaks, floors the gas pedal and after your dead from the 110 mph impact, they wipe any evidence of tampering, all remotely. Awesome.

Idiocy and showmanship masquerading as real science. He no more become infected with a computer virus than I would by duct-taping a floppy to my leg. Surely there is real computer science that researchers should be spending their effort on.
