Best Buy API Aims To Expand Store's Reach Online 99
surely_you_cant_be_serious writes "Best Buy has opened up proprietary product catalog data in its online store through an open API. Through the Remix API, Best Buy can track how many people are using its information, while users can check to see where a certain product is available without visiting Best Buy's site.
Web developers and bloggers can also sign up to become an official Best Buy affiliate. If approved, they can get a small percentage of a sale if someone makes a Best Buy purchase through their site."
Massive Botnet Returns From the Dead To Spam On 205
CWmike writes "Gregg Keizer reports that the big spam-spewing Srizbi botnet, shut down two weeks ago when McColo was shuttered, has been resurrected and is again under the control of criminals, security researchers said today. As of late Tuesday, infected PCs were able to successfully reconnect with new command-and-control servers, which are now based in Estonia, said Fengmin Gong, chief security content officer at FireEye. The comeback confirms what researchers noted last week, that Srizbi had a fallback strategy. So, in the end, that strategy paid off for the criminals who control the botnet."

These kids are in 4th grade... why don't you stop and imagine for a moment about where technology might be by the time they are adults. I can imagine home automation might be something really cool by then. Tell them about the houses they might live in in the future. Consider brain computer interfaces... suggest to them that one day computers might be so small and invisible that they can talk to their friends across the world just by thinking it... I'm sure u can come up with some of your own grand ideas about where technology can take us. Make sure you throw some of that in. The kids are the future, the future is about hope.. give them some grand ideas.
