Why are people so stupid??

“You should fix your internal sensor soon. If unsure what to do, try putting your laptop near hot steam to clean the sensor.” If you see that message on your laptop screen, call the cops. Don’t, says the LA Times, de-robe and take your computer into the shower with you. That was the intention of a California man, who created the message after illegally installing spywear on young women’s computers. If you can believe it, the fake sensor message actually worked. When police nabbed 20-year-old computer technician Trevor Harwell, he told them he’d harvested hundreds of thousands of naked pictures from the laptops he serviced.

Is it okay if I feel not bad for women that took their computers into the showers with them and had their booby shots harvested? Stupid boobies...well, there shouldn't be a second best to consensual boobies, but these were subconsciously begging to be free.

I dunno. Some people just aren't technically savvy at all, so I can see people falling for this.

Or maybe I'm just sympathetic because I'm sometimes gullible in non-technical areas....

tommy, I love you. What's your CC number?

Sorry, my gullibility doesn't extend to schemes like that.

eta: Ooh, I should have give you a fake CC #. Or my boss's....

You doubt my love? I'm hurt...I also have a rare wasting disease.

Huh. I've never laughed when someone told me they had a wasting disease before.

I dunno. Some people just aren't technically savvy at all, so I can see people falling for this.

They don't have a tea kettle?? I can't imagine the wack-a-doo-ness of people whose first thought when they think "steam" is to get in the shower with their computer!

"If God didn't want them to be sheared, he wouldn't have made them sheep"

I love you people. Can't really say that too often.
