De-Hyping the Telephone Worm
from the calm-down-everyone dept
Maybe it's because I read the virus myths page too much, or maybe it's just because I'm naturally skeptical of something that seems to get way too much press coverage, but I tend not to post stories about viruses. Some other posters at Techdirt think I'm crazy, and that all these viruses are a big deal. Maybe they're right. But, in the meantime, I'll just stick to posting stories like the following, which points out the whole cell phone worm wasn't really that big of a deal and people (like usual) have overreacted.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
