    @Lite: Wolverines!: Virii? WTF is virii?

    1) The plural of -us is -i, not -ii.
    2) The plural of virus is viruses.

    Therefore, even if you did use the correct ending for the plural of -us, you'd still be wrong.

    So what they are saying is that the electronic device which is built in China needs to come back to China in order to have a bug inserted? So its perfectly safe as long as it hasn't been back to China since it got built?

    @rt¹⁰⁰: & @TheGerk: Shouldn't it be "troooooooll"? I would never make an "l" sound that long. Say it outloud. It doesn't sound right. You just sound like there is something wrong with you. Like you swallowed your tongue or something. Plus, it's kind of hard to do.

    Too funny. So let me get this straight, the iPhone or rather OSX, DOES have those problems? So if I used my iPhone in China I should throw it out????

    I wish all these Apple nuts would get their story straight.

    "got to get my troll on every now and then..."

    EXACTLY!!!

    Oh and it's TROOOOLL. Get it right!

    It is my understanding that the military purchased lots of computer chips from China and uses them in everything from aircraft to desktops. Perhaps the groundwork for espionage was built into the manufacturing process.

    Just to make sure everyone remembers the last big black out where we, the citizens of Northern Ohio and our masters at First Energy Corp, blacked out a large chunk of the NE US and Canada, including NYC, a few years ago. We arent spies, but we did it with our air conditioners, so it cant be that hard, since First Energy cant even automate its invoicing and accounts receivable.

    @Curves: IIRC, a single branch fell on a line, which caused the black out. Luckily, in NJ, where we separate ourselves from the infectious NYers, we still had glorious nuclear power giving us light.
