According to Dailytech.com
With the online alias "Acid" or, in other cases "Acid Storm", a man named John Schiefer admitted to "infecting and hijacking more than 250,000 PCs with malware so he could have access to PayPal records." The man "is the first person to be accused by the U.S. government under the federal wire tapping law of operating a botnet — a network of hijacked computers."
Schiefer was hired by multiple clients to service PCs, but ended up installing malicious code designed to steal usernames and passwords for online banking accounts.
And then…
Schiefer recently agreed to plead guilty to four counts of fraud and wiretap charges that could send him to federal prison for 60 years with fines up to $1.75 million USD according to the Los Angeles U.S. Attorney’s office.

Yeah, there a family friendly version of the Xbox 360 now. It comes with a wireless controller, and, as you can see in the picture above, a new low price: $279.
Key Note: It doesn’t come with a hard drive, just 256 MB of storage. It does come with 5 family-oriented games, including, "PAC-MAN Championship Edition," Luxor 2" and "Uno."
Comments are Cool.
This news is a bit old, but I thought I’d post it anyway.
A guy with the gamertag Moviesign made a map in Halo 3 and set up what his girlfriend thought was just going to be a 2v2 match. After starting the game, he led her to a spot where he claimed he left an energy sword. “Instead there was a nice top-down view where he had spelled out a proposal in weapons. He then asked her to be his teammate for life.”-Xbox Website
That’s pretty awesome. Would it be mean to put this in my “strange” category?
Comments are good 
Here’s some good news for all the people that still use Microsoft’s Internet Explorer! That “Click to Activate” button at the top of your browsing window… is now gone! “YAY!” says Admin. Oh wait, I don’t use firefox. W/E
Microsoft announced that it has licensed technology from Eolas that allows this to occur automatically, and thus, the new patch eliminates the “Extra Step”.
According to CNET and the IE Blog, this will be available with the Internet Explorer Automatic Component Activation Preview Patch (available on Microsoft download site in early December), and when the IE Cumulative Update releases in April 2008.
Key Note: The update will not affect the way pages work, nor will developers and designers need to make any adjustment to the way they build their pages
Also…
This was announced in 2006… and Microsoft is still making their users wait…yay for ms

If you have downloaded and installed a visual style for windows, you have probably went out seeking to make as much stuff match on your computer to that theme as possible. For example, if you have downloaded a dark theme, you probably want (but not necessarily ) a dark wallpaper to go with it. Or, you could get something to contrast it. Whatever the case, this little tutorial should help you take this desire to coordinate to the next level.
.:Get a matching FireFox theme:.
Before I begin, if you do not have FireFox, get it, and then make sure you follow this tutorial: Speeding Up Firefox
Now, an Internet browser is probably what you use most on your computer, so getting a good theme for it makes perfect sense. You can find themes for firefox here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:2
Note: My personal favorite that goes along with the dark theme I have installed: NASA Night Launch
Now, we can take it to the next level: making pages you commonly visit match your theme.
.:Making webpages match:.
- First, go ahead and download the FireFox plugin, Stylish.
- After you have installed the plugin, and have restarted FireFox…
go to a page that you wish to change. - Right click on the Stylish icon in the bottom right-hand corner of firefox(see picture, at http://images.xnr.be/68db967f0cafe3c99e40f70813c50881.png)
- Click on Find Styles for This Page.
- Click on some of the links and if you like it, press load into stylish. If you download one, and then don’t like it, go into the Manage Styles menu of Stylish. You can either delete it entirely with the delete key, or disable it buy selecting it, pressing the edit button, and Unchecking the enabled box.
- Now go to that webpage, and you’ll see it has been changed.
- NOTE: if you install some for Gmail, they will probably only work if you use the “Old Version” of Gmail. (As soon as you sign in, at the top there is a button for this)
.:Recommendations:.
Since I’m using a dark theme, I like all the dark ones…

You will notice that many of these are more for “improving” a site, rather than making it look better. This is especially helpful when you want to remove some nasty ads on a site you frequent.
