I'm not sure, hence why I left it up to people here to see if they notice anything out of the ordinary, or if they can connect the info to something else.
Someone who is familiar with Photoshop, is the uuid: value truly unique to the Photoshop install?
Also, if you check the HTML code, you'll see references to 74.81.170.107, specifically https://74.81.170.107/xxxxxx. Take a peek at the security certificate it hands out (expired in 2006).
It seems to try and use piwik AND google analytics to track visits. It just seems _really_ shoddy and i'm leaning more towards this as a publicity stunt perhaps.
I wouldn't trust GoDaddy either - they will lie to save their own asses and bottom line.
Out of curiosity, has anyone bothered to look at the EXIF information in the big image that was posted?

Draw your own conclusions.
And when your contract is over at Microsoft, be prepared to be without a job for at least 3 months before they will consider rehiring you. Within those 3 months, you are not allowed to work in the computer field. I've had more then one friend who worked for MS on a contract basis and they were royally fucked over - alot of broken promises for full time non-contract work and being forced into a position they weren't hired for.
When we purchased our 42inch LCD last year, we had already figured out which TV we wanted, and went to the local BestBuy store to get it. First thing we did when we were approached by one of their people...
"We're here for this TV, and only this TV. We're not interested in extended warranties, or home theater systems and overpriced cables, and we're not interested in someone coming to our house to set it up. We're both experienced IT individuals, we've already got great HDMI and optical cables from monoprice, and a Sony 5.1 sound system that could knock the screens you have on the wall off at 50% volume. If you can't just ring us up, we'll find someone else who can."
He had us rung up and walking us out the door in 5 minutes with our new TV.
One thing we've learned, and it works equally as well with Dell and Verizon sales too, is that if you put it all on the table up front, and make it clear you will walk right then and there if they don't play by the rules, 9 times out of 10 there will be no issues. Hang up and call again, or find another sales person, there will always be someone willing to take your cash if the first person won't.
Because, unlike the rest of the employees I don't visit Anime sites during business hours, saturating the T1 on a deadline, install 'codecs' which are actually viruses, and then lie to the boss and IT that I got a malware virus while using juno webmail and that I was just checking during my lunch hour.
Nothing impresses the boss more then lying to his face when he's got the logs of your web browsing from the past month sitting in front of him and he knows about your interests in tentacle porn.
That, my friend, is the difference between IT and regular employees.
Where I am, there's a local surplus store that does robot workshops once or twice a month. Most of the motors, gears, etc come from scrap printers - they'll pile them out back, and recruit the kids and adults in the workship to rip them apart and collect the parts they need. Whats left over, is sent off for scrap/recycling.
Not only does it help teach the kids how to build things, but they learn the value of salvage and reusing components.
So, how much do you want to bet, that if the prosecution had found it, that they would have 'accidentally' forgot to tell the defense? Knee jerk reaction for a conviction is modus operandi for the police, regardless of if the person is guilty or not.
I love how the game law enforcement plays requires people to defend their innocence rather then the prosecution proving guilt.
If you didn't know, there is a reason why those ads are bright/shiny/big/etc - Times square is the only place in the city that requires business owners to have illuminated signs, in essence encouraging developers/business owners to create these huge billboards and such.
It would be pitch black in times square at night if there were no ads.
Can you provide all the domains you host, so that I can make sure that when they get blocked by the AHBL for abuse, they won't get removed?
They don't call it 'anonymous coward' for nothing. If you are so sure about how you feel and your beliefs, why don't you post with your actual slashdot username and an e-mail address? Or is it, you are worried about how the world will view you once your words are put with a name?
It still doesn't answer the question why it needed to be included with the story, given it doesn't have anything to do with 'news for geeks'.
And, its Male to female. Female to male is a completely different process. Hardly something to joke about regardless.
How is what Michelle did any of your business?
