  • As computer security concerns star to become fodder for the more mainstream media and the digital world start to coverge in weird ways, I can easily envision the day where late-night channel flipping will land me on a commercial that goes something like this "Hey Boys and Girls! Here at K-Tel Records and Software, have we got something special for you. That's right, a compilation of all of your favorite security tools.
