Beware the Cellphone Virus.....NOT!

Actual Pxt of Codewarrior Virus

Man, if I see another article about cellphone viruses I WILL tell Osama Bin Laden where you live!
First up, no-one has ever actually caught one of these vaporware viruses BUT they still seem to be headlining in some Tech magazine/website/blog/whatever almost daily.
Theres the story about cabir being seen in a shop window, well WHO actually saw it, where was the shop and how was it "seen?" PLUS in order to actually get cabir you HAVE to be both smart and stupid because it involves using Bluetooth and most people I know with Bluetooth cellphones don't even know how to use it EXCEPT mobile gamers and they are smart enough to know that if a strange sis file shows up in their inbox its prolly a good idea to NOT install it!
Today I see more headlines, New virus threatens cellphones, Phone Virus Launches New Era and another 138 related articles (Thanks Google) - Anyhoo, I go and read the New virus threatens cellphones "article" at the globeandmail website and it goes on to say its the first virus capable of spreading via MMS etc etc etc bla bla bla BUT further down the page I read "As of Tuesday, there have been no reports of actual attacks by the new virus, said U.S software security company Symantec Corp" - WTF!
Basically, its another scaremonger story about something BAD that might happen to you if you don't take precautions and listen to "the man" because he is the ONLY one who knows how to fix it, avoid it, kill it or have its babies BUT it WILL cost you.
REALITY CHECK, its Absolute Crap, NO-ONE has ever actually caught cabir or codewarrior or ANY OTHER CELLPHONE VIRUS EVER, in fact I think the new definition for "Vaporware" should be "cellphone virus"
The thing is, whoever "the man" is, he KNOWS that if enough of these articles are read by enough people it will become reality because these days, perception IS reality.
It reminds of the 90s and the Y2K experts/stories/websites/cures etc etc etc, companies and consumers spent billion$ to fix the "problem", some people worried their toasters wouldn't work come New Years Day 2K, while others "fixed" these toasters and made a fortune in the process and yet, the whole Y2K thing was ABSOLUTE BS.
Moving on to the Nauties We had WMD and once again, TOTAL BS but "the man" still managed to get a war out of it!
Cellphone viruses are the new fear for the masses BUT, I say, Dont Fear the Virus UNTIL someone you know actually gets one.
btw, whatever happened to all those Y2k "experts"
