This doesn't come as a surprise on any level:

SP2: That'll cut bandwith issues.  Of course, it would be better by far if colleges would block everything but port 80 and two FTP ports.

Webcam virus: About time people started creating virii with a sense of humor in mind.  good thing mine has a cover

Iran: Yup, wait 'till that happens here.
