Previously: Harry Potter >>
Next: David Lawrence's Personal Netcast - 6/18/2005 >>

Patrick: Let*s see if we look to illustrate it here well what happen remember it was last Friday like 8 days ago there was that, some Email worm sent out Michael Jackson attempts suicide or something like that. It was right before the jury announced its verdict.

David Lawrence: There were two big viruses that got released within like a week of each other. One of them said that Osama Bin Laden had been captured. The other which said Osama Bin Laden had committed suicide or was killed and then that sort of like went neck and neck with each other. And then Michael Jackson attempted to commit suicide while the jury was out so yeah.

Patrick: Yeah, that*s well those were coming out it*s kind of flurry and we had some queries from people who are involved what is it with this like how often are celebrities used or something. So our virus lab went through and looked at the number you know like how many things sent out with celebrity names and came up with the top 10 list. I think Britney Spears was at the top and at #1 and Pamela Anderson was at #10.

David Lawrence: Alright let me give you some basics on you doing a countdown show since I do one called the Net Music Countdown. You start from 10 and you work your way up to number 1. You don*t blow the whole gaffe with number 1 right out of the gate okay. Keep the suspense going.

Patrick: Well when we usually do it, we usually do it in binary and it*s very hard to understand.

David Lawrence: Alright so now are people still falling for viruses, Email spam viruses that have celebrity you know nude pictures of Britney Spears inside, Bill Gates will give me $250 if you forward this Email. I mean are people still are they not jaded at this point in 2005?

Patrick: I guess no they are not. It*s the same as you know people still buy the inquire you know with celebrity.

David Lawrence: Yeah but there you know what you are getting. I mean it*s not like you don*t pick up the inquire and okay this is entertainment. You know I am asking are these effective for the people who are trying to capture your computer.

Patrick: Yeah.

David Lawrence: Okay so in the end what is the goal that you open up this virus and it takes over your computer and zombifies it?
