You think that cnn doesn't have their own batch of geeks on staff? I figgure there is a fairly good chance that they knew about it before you did. This all seems faintly like another one of those "omg, theres a virus out there!" e-mail alerts to me (ref, good times and the like). More FUD ...... not something that is needed, I think. There is enough of it in this day and age. One small thing ….. if you know about it, what makes you think they (cnn) don’t? You think that cnn doesn’t have their own batch of geeks on staff?
