I was just reading

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8206280.stm

Two things struck me about the above article on bbc news.

1. The professor's name is a bit of a sanitization problem that reminds me of
http://xkcd.com/327/

2. In the article, the ability of ideas to spread and take over the world in
real life is explained as being comparable to the ability of zombies to spread
and take over the world in movies.

Ironically, in real life there is a battle between the GPL spreading freedom and
security, and the zombie machines running on MS systems that go around spreading
spam and creatng more zombies on the net.
