Misleading headline of the week (or month ...)

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rMslade () shaw ca>]

"First human 'infected with computer virus'"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/10158517.stm

However, I wish they would have given more detail on how the thing infected 
external systems, and then passed that on to other RFID chips.  (Not saying it 
couldn't happen, just would like to know more of the how.  And how not.)  Could 
have been a useful news article, rather than simply an attention grabber.

On the plus side, it won't be long before there's a government
reward for killing him.                          - Dilbert, 20050828
