FreeiPodGuy is LMAO

As previously reported, Creative has made public waves about their assertion that the iPod infringes on their Zen MP3 player's user interface trademark.

Apparently, they also can lay claim to being the first MP3 player manufacturer (to my knowledge at least) to mass-distribute a worm (W32.Wullik.B@mm to be exact) on an MP3 player, specifically their 5 GB Zen Neeon. Engadget reports that 3,700 Neeons shipped over the last two months have been infected with the malware.

When executed, the worm makes numerous copies of itself in random locations, and when Windows Explorer browses to the window where the file is located, it randomly moves to a new one. Fun! It is a mass-mailing worm that sends itself to all contacts in Outlook's address book. Yay!

As a Mac user, an iPod user, and a grownup, I feel that all I can really say is "NEENER NEENER THBPBT!"
