OK, I still find this funny, hence the category.

Seems there are loads of people that don't realize how easy it is to view their webcams - at least their Axis cams.

A friend has one because of their ability to have a network address, and the quality is actually very good.

Now, I'm not saying that all these people are idiots - some of them have public webcams - like college cafeteries, gas stations and such. But on occasion, you can click on one and get rather interesting results.

For the google search, look for either:

happy fishing!

According to News24.com,A German resident was recently arrested for brutally cannibalizing a well to do microchip developer for Siemens. When police raided the suspects home, they found victims had been stored in meal size “packets”.
The irony of course, the victim was computer expert… so having his remains stored in “packets” is extremly ironic.

A recent link was submitted to Topsight regarding a Microsoft boycott. The site say’s “If you have to re-install Windows or the software because of a virus, a hardware failure or some other cause, you have to contact Microsoft again and explain why you need their permission to re-install the software. If they don't like your explanation, and in particular if they do not get your name, address, phone number, and E-mail address, you are out of luck — you must buy another copy of Office XP.”
