22-year-old Intern Loses 800,000 Social Security Numbers

Fri, 27 Jul 2007 18:27:27 +0000

A 22-year-old intern said today he’s the ’scapegoat’ for the loss of over 800,000 social security numbers – or roughly 7.3% of the people in the entire state of Ohio

Ha. Sucks to be that intern.

‘The extent of my instructions on what to do after I removed the tapes from the tape drive and took the tapes out of the building was, bring these back tomorrow.’ Three months into his $10.50-an-hour internship, he left the tapes in his car overnight — unencrypted — and they were stolen. Interestingly, the intern reports to a $125-an-hour consultant — and was advised not to tell the police that sensitive information had been stolen, which initially resulted in his becoming the prime suspect for the theft.

CBS5 reports on the Pentagon’s canceled plan to unleash a homosexual fury of gaydom in the form of a bomb! The intent of the bomb was the chemically incite soldiers to irresistibly engage in sexual acts with their fellow soldiers. I’m sure this would really make the democrats happy!

Daily Hook news is back with a great story!

PAW PAW, Mich. — A 21-year-old man was taken on a wild ride Wednesday afternoon when the wheelchair he was in became attached to the grille of a semi-truck and was taken four miles down a highway at about 50 mph.

MTVs The Hills Star, LC Reported to Have Sex Tape

Sun, 15 Apr 2007 17:01:32 +0000

If you’ve listened to our podcasts, you know by now that we are tremendously huge fan’s of MTVs The Hills, mainly because of LC (Lauren Conrad). Well LC seems like a great girl and the perfect girlfriend, however recently it has surfaced that she has a sex tape! It seems like these days you can’t “pass go” in Hollywood unless you have a sex tape, so maybe its her big break. Various internet sources claim that her douche bag ex-boyfriend Jason has been shopping around the sex tape for $500,000 to several porn companies. Against these reports, LC wrote on her blog that no such video exists. I can’t wait to see how this plays out! The Daily Hook will keep you posted and provide links to video footage if it is ever made available!

iPhone .. iHandcuffs – to DRM or not to DRM

Sun, 14 Jan 2007 06:53:53 +0000

There is a great article in the New York Times about copy protection with its regard to digital music and the iPod/iPhone and copy protected portable music players in general. The author writes,

As consumers become more aware of how copy protection limits perfectly lawful behavior, they should throw their support behind the music labels that offer digital music for sale in plain-vanilla MP3 format, without copy protection.

I totally agree.
