yeh that was cool - I really didnt understand most of the 2nd half...I mean, what he said made sense to me, but I couldnt tell if it was true or not. He said he wrote half the stuff in Scheme, which I wikipedia'd... it's a flavor of LISP...ack, really doesnt look anything like any of the languages I can use, and really I feel stupid having so little knowledge of that aspect of how this tool that I use every single day, and have done for years, actually works. Where is good geek101 material so that I can even just get a handle on what he was talking about for the 2nd half of his interview ?

"I should probably first speak about how adware works. Most adware targets Internet Explorer (IE) users because obviously they’re the biggest share of the market. In addition, they tend to be the less-savvy chunk of the market. If you’re using IE, then either you don’t care or you don’t know about all the vulnerabilities that IE has."
