Here we are, the rooftop, watching the planes come in, while I indulge in a bit of digital rape.
Here we go, sony vaio, matt black, two shades, carved logo and lettering. Cost 5 times more than my scrappy lappy, and doesn't have carefully carved
pieces of Duct Tape holding bits of it on. Scan the local wifi, he's not using a 3G card, which figures, reception here sucks.
Scan the room, visually. At least sixty in-transit. Twenty plus with their electronics on, tuned in, connected, related, networking. Fish in a
fucking barrel. I feel like calling the barman over in this VIP waiting area, “Oi! Garcon, shake some of these fuckers, check they're real fucking
people!”.
Either that or just walk up to one and try psising on his keyboard,see if he reacts. The sony vaio fucker, he'd probably just frown at you, and wipe
it with a disposable paper snotwrap.
20 laptops, 5 iphones, 5 ipads.
Of the laptops, 15 non-mac. Of the 15 non-mac, 5 without the most basic security. Of those 5, 2 succumb within 6 seconds to brute force cracking.
Bank cookies, email configs, and bonus! A corporate email account. Save it, keep it, use for trade.
The second of the two, self porn in the personal documents, easy to recognise, early 40s, female, feeling the early onset uglies, self concsious. Not
bad naked, I wouldnt kick it out of bed.
Boredom sets in.
of 5 iphones, 2 jailbroken, vulnerable to an overflow hack, 10 seconds later, they're bricks, within another 30, obscene rites are being performed
over one with a dead chicken and fresh human blood in the hopes of resurrection.
I finish my coffee, hibernate the beast, and grab my paper. A minute later i'm on stack.
get into character.
deep breath.
“Minicab guv?”

You been reading Charles Stross again? Or is it my imagination that I detect shades of Unwirer here?

to be honest, i had to look up "unwirer", but now i've read, some, i'm definitely on the same wavelength. yesterday oddly enough i was feeling the
infophrenia again, and hooking up again with Adbusters, check out Adbuster Digital Detox week, you'll see what i mean.
i am seriously an info addict, and that nonconformist in me can imagine info terrorism, and kicking it all over with Relish
