Journal Journal: BioShock does not contain a Rootkit

Journal by Aurora_Boreas
According to TFP:

I'm only posting this because there is a story going around tech blogs saying that BioShock contains a rootkit as part of the DRM process (SecureROM). THIS IS NOT TRUE Such a story could easily end up in more mainstream sites such as DIGG and alarm people unnecessarily. I know it has been mentioned in one or two threads already, but I think it bears reiterating in an obvious manner. BioShock does not contain a rootkit. It shows up in Microsoft's Root

Submission + - New York taxi drivers to strike over GPS

Submitted by Stony Stevenson
Stony Stevenson writes: New York City taxi drivers are split on whether they should strike in opposition to a new GPS requirement. One taxi group plans to strike from 5 a.m., Sept. 5, through 5 a.m., Sept. 7, in opposition to New York City's requirement that all cabs be equipped with GPS technology beginning Oct. 1. The New York Taxi Workers Alliance, which claims more than 8,400 members, announced the strike dates this week, saying GPS infringes on drivers' privacy.

The Taxi and Limousine Commission passed a rule stating that all New York City cabs must have touch-screen display panels, credit card readers, and GPS beginning this year. Many taxis already are equipped with the technologies, which allow passengers to get news, route data, and other information. The TLC claims that the technology will not be used to invade drivers' privacy but will provide real-time maps and help passengers recover lost property.
