All of your base are belong to us…UPDATED

Considering that for many of us our computers are very much our “base” this is pretty damned chilling. Not a Beck fan, but pianogirl sent this my way and urged me to watch. WOW. Astounding. Is this still America? Where is the press on this? I know the clause being cited here is meant to apply to dealership computers (and not ordinary buyers) but the fact that the clause exists at all is troubling. At its most innocent, this is unbelievably sloppy. At it’s worst, it’s downright nefarious.

And yeah, it must be said, can you IMAGINE the outcry over this, if it were a Bush program?

UPDATE: Seems even though the language was not meant to reference our personal computers, it has the terms of use have been changed. Heh. A thought is a thing.
