Rise of the Man-Eating Cyberloo: the latest RotM, or Rise of the Machines, another regular feature at the Register like the BOFH (the link is this week's, more here). Rise of the Machines is a ultraparanoid technophobe's view of the latest happenings in and around technology - fictionalized for your delight. Here is the ROTM take on clocky (previously). Many of the episodes refer to the various efforts of the "lizard army" (Shades of Free Your Brain?) and their eternal enemies, the NeoLuddite Resistance Army. Take a minute to read a few, it's quite a funny theme, written well and in true cheeky Reg style. Here's the archive. For a more serious (though likely sham) example of this, try the Anti-Robot Militia.

I settle into vitriol and eloquent scatology

Heaven or Hell? It's Your Choice
A new shareware E-Book is out, penned by the likes of Captain Crunch and Matthew Smith, that makes the claims:

Don't bother planning your pension, the world is about to change and we can prove it, please just take 2 minutes out of your life to read this page, it may change your life. Artificial intelligence is coming and it may become smarter than any of us. Smart networks using grid technologies could become a threat to us ALL, this is the real Matrix. From Dot.Net to the X-Box, from M-Theory to the Playstation 3 the future is V.R. / A.I. and Nanotech. If you ever wanted to know what the system is and what it has done to you, then this ebook is for you. You left school, you were standardised, you took an exam, you were graded, they made you believe in money, this is the last great social control mechanism. There's more to this, than you can imagine.

...and there you have it. Or do you?
