IP, would you Adam and Eve it?

SO THERE was I having a quiet noggin in central London and checking my spam on my notebook using a Cloud wireless connection when all of a sudden a strange process kicked off.

Although the notebook was firewalled, I noticed it starting to install something.

So I watched as it did install it, and then checked to see what I'd got.

Ah, for some odd reason the pub had installed a webcam complete with a network path to it. Click on the path and the following screen came up.

At this point, I thought that I'd better not continue this interesting experiment, so I disconnected from the wireless net.

Only to find the electronic box containing the Cloud net and a selection of cheesy pub quiz games shut down, along with two fruit machines next to it. It rebooted into Windows 2000, and so I made my excuses and left. How odd.... µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
