Not as easy as you might think. The report referenced in a Reg article a mere week ago ( http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/02/23/conficker_variant/ ) suggests that there's some clever enough encrypted signature verification at work to ensure that only updates by the original virus' authors will be accepted and processed.
"Doesn't everyone give to charities they are affected by?"
Not necessarily. I donate to a charity that works to improve conditions in third world countries. As far as I can tell, I don't stand to gain anything from this.
If anything, the price of sweatshop-made runners will probably go up.
How better to 'edutain' the vast majority of non-it savvy office workers?
Perhaps as a follow-up, they'd consider a docu-drama following Dr. Joshua Obodo as he endeavours to find partners willing to assist in his removal of a very large sum of money from Nigeria..
"We've run demonstrations using iBurst to send back pictures from CCTV cameras in buses, even streaming the footage to a pursuing police car in real time."
Why would police cars be pursuing buses? Couldn't they just send someone ahead to hop on at the next stop?

Having watched the video...
You'd need a pretty strong stomach to put up with bouncing, spinning, rotating, scaling, colour changing, morphing 3d objects for any length of time.

Show me evidence of ghosts and I'll concede that there are ghosts.
But
No evidence == no ghosts as far as I'm concerned.
It's pretty straightforward really - no 'belief' either way necessary.
Laugh at that logic :-P

It's like 'distributor', only hip.

72 virgins?
I guess they'll be offered some sort of electronic equivalent - perpetual membership of 72 premium adult sites instead?
Streaming from buses?
