Well,
this week's been interesting so far, ain't it? Look around the internet, and you'll see that the biggest news story of the week (
nay, of the bleedin'
decade) has been this heap big palaver about the Heartbleed bug. Yes, this was the week that the internet collectively cacked its pants, because... well, let's not play down the seriousness, Heartbleed is one of the worst security threats to
ever hit the internet.
It is, in short, a clustersmurf of
epic proportions.
But - and this is a
big but - the most interesting bit about the Heartbleed situation, for me, is that it illuminates one surprisingly prevalent trait of human nature: humanity's inherent propensity for running round like headless chickens, proclaiming that the end is
very bloody nigh. And do ye know what? It's all
evolution's fault...
