They are always watching you. No matter what you type, text, or tweet, they can and will read it and you will never even know.
After facebook facial recognition technology comes to fruition, your behavior patterns will be analyzed and recorded, and you may be 're-programmed' to fit back in to society nicely. If you fail to comply with the surveillance overlords, you must be prepared for the inevitable consequences.
The 'land of the free and the home of the brave' thanks you in advance for your cooperation.
Have a nice day.

But seriously, if we are going to sue every website and blog for re-posting photos found on the web, the internet is going to have to shut down due to widespread copyright violations.

No, it was never immune. It was simply never on the radar of malware authors because it wasn’t financially attractive enough to attack. With the hundreds of millions of unprotected Windows installations, it didn’t make sense to bother. Well, there’s enough OSX users out there now to make it worthwhile, and the attacks are starting.
Apple’s response? Sticking its fingers in its ears and shouting “LALALALA! I can’t hear you!”"
