Don't plan to sell your first chip - Bob Colwell, former Intel chief architect
Hackers got talent
SIMON COWELL is a very nice man and probably has very nice lawyers, so it is with great sadness that we discover that computers belongng to his company Syco (geddit? It's an acronym that sounds like psycho) have been hacked.
But why hack Syco? Was it to lay grubby hands on Cowell's bank account details? He is worth more money than God after all. Or to find his tailor's name and address to arrange a hit (and we don't mean a top 10)? Or to try and get Paula Abdul's phone number?
No, none of the above. Unbelievably people apparently are hacking into Cowell's computers to get their hands on early cuts of the odious ear bile he calls music.
Tone-deaf thieves have already got their mitts on tracks from X Factor (UK) winners Leona Lewis and Alexandre Burke and are selling them to file sharing sites - according to the Current Bun.
Cowell is responsible for such wonder acts as Shayne Ward and Journey South - the latter of which could have been named after the career arc of both, so his back catalogue is ripe for further picking.
A spokesman for the psycho told the Bun, "[We] are working alongside the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, the British Phonographic Industry, the police and investigators in this and they are making fast progress. We will certainly look to bring charges against those who are responsible. We cannot give any more details at this stage for operational reasons."
We can't help wondering whether this case will be investigated a bit more thoroughly than Monday's Facebook burglar incident.

"remember boys and girls, music piracy only hurts the pocket of the poor hard done by artist - you cruel pirates!"
you are discouraged from thinking that music piracy mostly affects the corporate part of the industry and the fatcat idle rich at the top.
if an artist get 5% of the profit then they only suffer 5% of the loss.
the industry neesd to be more fair to the artists and the consumers. these 2 vital components are wrung out for every penny by the industry.
just ask robbie williams and prince and george michael etc etc

Breaking Wind is Hack Tradition, Especialy along borders. Given number of Song riders Pickeringed up, its Wonder People with Talent Get anything At ALL(Except Thrown OUT). Making it HARD to Back
Creative Artist. Whorse are HACKED Controllers:
the Samsung S3C29RBB01-YK40.
The Samsung controller has a unique feature called Self-Healing. The drive is able to cleanse itself of deleted data without being ordered to by the operating system. Indilinx has a similar feature, but there are some strong imperfections that make garbage collection troublesome. The Indilinx system requires a single drive, no RAID support and the drive must be the boot drive. Not exactly the stipulations an enthusiast can live with
Your Band sounds Hacked, Cann't afford Excellent Controller Equipment? Well in todays internet world, you be dweeb & lame to look at anything twice. Combo songs are BEST, as arn't covered. Say Mikes Picture Superimposed Over Charlies. Hack,Hack.
Talented people have worked hard to get it right, just to have whole mess ripped off & sold in impoverished retake.
Seems to Fit. yet, JMiicro are even worse than Whorse. Know that, Been There. Wanna HACk some Cub? si CK o, Is ACT to Get Away with GOODS, most glad impoverishment IS Over. Try Selling DvD On Street, by Train Station, they've got moneies to spend, yet NO takers. In Fact NO riders, ethier. Take Your Best Shot, Use line out to any audio taping device & Your IN Like Flint. Or FACE Rath of STACK Corruption on SSD. Violating 13th commandment. C reg TM & P Pend Permanent & Forever Sole Owner.

I read it as sicko...
rather than Hackers' Got Talent.
America's Got Talent involves a different British jackass. Not that all Brits are jackasses, mind you. The guy who plays House seems pretty cool in interviews, House IS just a fictional character after all.
Dr. House the character is American, Hugh Laurie (sp?) the actor is British...
Simon Cowell is a judge on BRITAIN's got talent. The world doesn't revolve around the US, surprise!
I'd rather believe that he hired someone to hack his PC and upload the tripe for publicity.
Hackers benefit from their hacking. It seem that nobody can stop their business.
So "What should we do?".
--Keep you safe first.
