Star Wars: Episode III

According to the rumor sites, the working title for Episode III is now “Birth of the Empire”.. apparently there is some doubt, since this would be yet another movie with ‘of the’ in the title. I’m not sure why that would make a difference.. but apparently it does…

Anyway.. Lucas should be announcing the real title within the next month or two….

P2P’ers Get Burned

LOL! Apparently, there is a fake version of MS Word 2004 (Just released for the Mac) floating around on some P2P networks

And, in a case of pirates getting what they deserve… it deletes most (if not all) of the files in your home directory. A good first tip off… if MicroSloth was going to release a demo of Office 2k4, or any of its parts, chances are..they would not choose to distribute it over a P2P network.. and .. since its file size is only 108k… when’s the last time M$ wrote any of their bloat ware that small? I think their icons are even bigger then that!

so.. if you’re stealing software over P2P networks..don’t run the 108k version of MSWord =)

And no.. I don’t think this is some kind of huge security risk for Mac users… I can write a batch file for windows that does the same thing, and a script file for *nix that does the same thing… this is all about safe computing.. if you don’t trust the source of your files 100%.. don’t open them in an account you aren’t prepared to have erased. And anything off a P2P network.. not a source to trust 100%
