"Hackers — the Mark Zuckerberg variety, not the identity thieves " being tongue and cheek are we :)?
- kintamanimatt 14y agoI think this is a great line actually. The media is largely responsible for corrupting the original meaning of the word. At least they're now showing people it has multiple meanings, and that hacker doesn't always mean "malicious cracker".
- deepakg 14y agoI just found it ironical given Facebook's privacy record. Identity thieves and Mark Zuckerberg in the same sentence.
- yitchelle 14y agoI also got that feeling when I read this line. The word "hacker" has so many permutations that it needs to be qualify, ie malicious hacker, SaaS hacker, life hacker. It still means that the hacker is doing something to disrupt their domain.
- emcl 14y agoIs Mark Zuckerberg stealing our identities and storing it on disks too?
