Sonstige Kriminalität bereitet dagegen nur 48% Sorgen. Nach den Skandalen um Überwachung am Arbeitsplatz und beim Einkaufen, dem Handel von Bankdaten und dem Missbrauch von Verbindungsdaten sind wir inzwischen aus einem naiven Vertrauen aufgewacht und hochsensibel geworden.

The Atlantis Palm Resort, with over 1,500 rooms, will be hosting an opening ceremony with celebrities from around the world tomorrow night.

Man hat Angst im weißen Haus. Vor Terroristen, Praktikantinnen, dem Ostblock, der Wirtschaftskrise und natürlich auch vor Hackern. Wenn Obama als Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten ab Januar sein Amt ausübt, darf er – so ein Bericht der FAZ – nicht mehr mit seinem Blackberry, im Artikel liebevoll “Crackberry” genannt, kommunizieren. Zu gefährlich, lautet die Begründung.

Just as the dogs in the New Yorker cartoons don't represent actual dogs, these cats don't represent cats at all, but people. By using cats, icanhascheezburger can access themes more tragic and poignant than it could using people. You wouldn't enjoy a comic of an actual person fingering a blade and contemplating suicide -- but when it's a cat, you can accept it. You can even laugh.
