Don't let your Vista box talk to itself!

» Vista Speech Command exposes remote exploit | George Ou | ZDNet.com
The latest bit of entertainment from Microsoft is that if you have speech recognition turned on in Vista, your computer will blythly listen to whatever comes out of its own speakers. So you can create a sound file or a movie, put it on a website, and give commands to the computer of anyone stupid enough to be running Vista and speech recognition when they listen to it.

I'm waiting for somebody to combine this with Goodbye-Microsoft.com. There's a song in there somewhere, I fancy.

I'm waiting for the classic movie phrase to get changed to "Hostile Comes Vista, Baby."
