No, I’m not talking about a biased film documentary…

I’m talking about a different kind of hoax alltogether! Have you ever gotten that stupid spam about the e-mail tracking program that’s sponsored by Micro$oft, or Intel? Ever wondered where that got started? Well, Wired has an article on it! Yep, it’s the whole story from the very earliest days to the present. It’s a story of Darwinian proportions! And, it really has taken on a life of it’s own.

Hey, it’s Friday, so soft news is the best kind. Enjoy!
