I know reading the article means I'm new and all, but it was based on both meatspace and cyber.
"Armed with unauthorized access to FISâ(TM)s card platform, the crooks were able to reload the cards remotely when the cash withdrawals brought their balances close to zero."
This was coordinated between people at the ATM and to someone on the FIS network reloading the cards.

Well to be fair the PLATO system didn't modify their logo, they just added a "heart" to the top of the screen. Google actually makes custom logos.
A better example of prior art would be Blue's News

As you we can see the first christmas logo was for 2000, a few months before google submitted their application.

How many people download mediocre top 40 music? A lot of people. Just because some cover band doesn't get downloaded doesn't mean people don't download thousands of albums just because.
I have a friend who has terabytes of music, do you honestly want to tell me he listens to all of it? I don't think he has enough years left in his life ;)
