AWESOMECON

Anonymous. Over 9000 strong, they are legion. And now they’ve hacked Time Magazine’s 2009 list of most influential people. Paul Lemere talks about this impressive feat over at his blog.

Not only has the poll been swamped to promote Moot (the pseudonym of the creator of 4chan, an image board and the birthplace for many internet memes) as the most influential of people, the poll crashers have manipulated the order of all the other nominees so that the first letter of each line spells out ‘marble cake, also the game’ (marble cake is not really a kind of cake btw).    This is pretty phenomenal, precision hacking.   Precision hacking of an extremely high profile poll run by a top notch media company.

BTW, by reading this post, you’ve just lost The Game.
