If I used "armed with a USB stick" in a conversation with my proverbial grandmother, she would probably be puzzled, maybe a little alarmed until she saw the smile on my face.
Was the old man who compared internet activists to terrorists maybe thinking about this little phrase?
We don't care.
The German tabloid Bild Zeitung opened with a headline warning of Al Kaida plots against German trains.
The Twitter crowd went into overdrive: Germany's railroad traffic is in a pretty chaotic state these days, they tweeted, no way anybody can pull off a bombing.
We don't care.
We do care about the lady who has been trying in vain to get Facebook to delete a fake profile that causes distress and anxiety to her teenage son. Yes, Facebook is still being Facebook. So, the lady sent us an email after finding the December 2012 post about two real facebook employee email addresses.
We updated the post after other readers notified us the addresses were no longer good.
The new recommendation is to go public via Twitter. And if you are in Europe, the Irish Data Protection commissioner has a complaint form.
And last and least, don't travel with a USB stick.
