Twitter, We Hardly Knew Ye - PC World

Rated Sep 26 • 1 review • internet, internet tools, twitter • pcworld.com

From the page: "Twitter is dead because it is now so popular that the spammers and the scammers have arrived in force. And history tells us that once they sink their teeth into something, they do not let go. Ever."

"First there's the "ROFL" phishing scam that drives users to a fake log-in page to steal their credentials. Per IDG News' Bob McMillan:

The scam begins with a direct message -- one sent directly between two Twitter users -- that reads "ROFL this you on here?" and appears to link to a video site. When the victim clicks on the link, however, they are sent to a fake Twitter page and asked to log in. The scammers use that log-in information to automatically message the victim's contacts with the same direct message.

Why would a scammer want your Twitter logon? Because he/she needs to borrow your Twitter reputation for a little while -- just long enough to spew out spammy messages that send hapless twits to other Web pages where the scammers can abuse you further."

Rock Court: The People vs. Eric Clapton | Popdose

Rated Sep 25 • 2 reviews • rock music, music • popdose.com

Eric Clapton in the '90s

I'll posit that Clapton is not the strongest songwriter to grace the airwaves. Indeed, Clapton has always been strongest as a collaborator and interpreter, as part of all the aforementioned groups, as well as Delaney & Bonnie & Friends and Derek & The Dominos. His biggest early solo hits, in fact, were covers of other people's songs - "After Midnight" and "Cocaine" (J.J. Cale), "I Shot the Sheriff" (Bob Marley). In fact, if you go through his entire canon, almost every familiar song - from "Badge" (with George Harrison) to "It's In the Way That You Use It" (with Robbie Robertson) - carries a co-writer credits.

But is it a crime against rock to be a better instrumentalist and collaborator than a songsmith? Is Clapton on trial for not being a superlative songwriter?

"Bin Laden threated that al-Quaeda would retaliate 'from the oppressor on behalf of the oppressed,' the monitoring service added."

"If today Europe is suffering the travails of the economic crisis, and the heart of Europe is no longer number on in world exports, and American is reeling from the haemorrhage caused by the economic war, then how do think[sic] you will fare after America pulls out?" it quoted bin Laden as asking.

The release of the message comes two days before Sunday's German general election.
