Comedian’s security tips wrapped in irony

August 26th, 2006

Bruce Schneier noted that Stephen Colbert is flogging computer security tips. The irony is that they are only viewable in Internet Explorer.

Yes, there are some comments that suggest some workarounds, including clicking on that big red pop-up warning bar. Unfortunately, none of them worked for me either, and I already have .wmv capability through Flip4Mac.

Maybe the videos are just too popular right now. Then again, I don’t listen to Hollywood when I’m molding my political views, and maybe you shouldn’t listen to comedians when developing your computer security task list either.
