Programmers Gone Bad

I found this article fairly interesting and decided to give it a new title: A Glimpse Inside The Seamy Underworld of Spyware.

Here are a few quotes I selected from the article:

"Sifting through a stack of customer complaints in June, 2005, a Direct Revenue employee decided to tally the most frequently used words of aggression: 'die' (103 times), 'f------' (44), and 'kill' (15)"

"The unsophisticated computer users subjected to Direct Revenue's ads had a nickname among some staffers: 'trailer cash.'"
