A different worrisome state of software
« on: October 23, 2017, 12:58:31 am »

I Googled "Photoshop CC 2018". The majority of the hits, I'd guess 30% to 40%, were for cracks, hacks, torrents, and other ways to steal it.

But I guess that's OK. Since it surely has a a bug or two, nobody should have to pay for it.

And around 99.5% of all those hits are automatically generated just to get you to go to the site - there's not actual hacks/cracks/torrents at them.  Of those dodgy sites, probably 50% are just plain trying to get malware (or worse) onto your computer.

Exactly, Phil. It all just proves that Barnum's estimate was on the low side.
