The CBS Sportsline web site allowed the private information of its members to be available to anyone online. Information included email and snail mail address as well as phone numbers and real names. Makes you wonder just how many search engines are misconfigured out there. Another reminder to be careful with who you give your information to.

Now here is a hack if there ever was one. The Pilot Robot. A robot that is controlled with a Palm Pilot. Pretty damn amazing if you ask me. Makes me wish I had an extra cradle.

The Third Wave is coming?
I have received a lot of weird emails recently about something known as the "Third Wave". Not sure exactly what it is. It would appear to be a new elite group started by Microchip as part of Forpaxe and Organon in Portugal. They allegedly cracked Apophasis Systems recently and are out to get a rival group known as BluemerdaSky. I wouldn't mind hearing about what is actually going on over there, if anyone knows drop me a line.
