Spyware Correction

Ah… the vast reaching arm of the ‘net is long indeed. Yesterday I was contacted by the folks over at Weatherbug. It seems I referenced them in an entry last September where I had a particular rant going about the need for people to educate themselves a little more when it comes to computers. (Notice today I’m a little more tactful in my approach)

In that editorial piece, I linked Weatherbug to Gator Corp (which is now Claria)

GATOR CORP IS SPYWARE
GATOR CORP IS SPYWARE
GATOR CORP IS SPYWARE
CLARIA IS SPYWARE
CLARIA IS SPYWARE
CLARIA IS SPYWARE

Sorry… got off on another tangent. ANYWAY… the folks over at Weatherbug assured me that while they had a relationship with Gator previously they have long since terminated that partnership. In fact, they dropped Claria quicker than a five cent hooker with a bad case of the clap. Spyware is like having herpes when it comes to a computer company’s rep and Weatherbug has been doing its best to clarify its position on spyware.

Having said all that, today’s post is meant to correct any mistake I may have made (said September entry has already been edited) and I’ll be checking out the new Weatherbug when I have a chance.
