A homeless man in San Francisco was served with a search warrant for suscpicion of being part of the Hacker group Anonymous. What did they search? His shopping cart?
"Please sir, hand over your shopping card and box that you sleep in at night. We have a search warrant."
You bet the rookie cop probably got the job of frisking him.
It's pretty hard to imagine a homeless man being a hacker or cracker or black hat or who else he thinks other people are calling him. Do you think he hides a netbook under the papers in his cart? Or he has figured out a way to generate electricity when he pushes the cart around all day, hooked up the wheels to some dynamo or something, gathering electricity for the all night hackathon via some open Wifi connection.
Or do you just think he was a victim of identity theft?

The most successful failure
HP can't catch a break. First they wanted to get rid of WebOS. On the same day, they hinted they no longer wanted to make PCs.
First, you can't fool anybody. HP hasn't been making PCs for a long time. It's all made in China-land.
Second, we know you have been thinking of this for a while.
But it's not all bad news. They figured out a way to clear the shelves full of WebOS tablets. HP priced it so low, WebOS tablets literally flew off the shelves. You can hear America taking in a deep breath and suddenly 300,000 tablets were gone. HP suddenly were successful at something.
If you call making a 200 dollar loss on each tablet a success.
Now they want to make another run. They want to make more tablets to sell.
Let me get this straight. You made a ton of them and couldn't sell them.
Then you sold all of them and loss a boatload of money.
And you want to make more?
HP, how many whips do you have in your closet? Are you sure you're not into leather and chains. I'm saying it's a problem. What you do on your own time is your business. But mixing business and pleasure is not the way to go.
