Currently he uses the Treo and is looking to upgrade. Since Howard has been heavily discussing the different available phone options currently available on his show, it's a good promo at little cost to go out of their way to offer this. Actually a pretty good business decision since he's a heavy Treo advocate. Actually Howard Stern is getting a little personal preview of the Palm Pre.

It uses an http date check, which is to say it doesn't rely on the system clock to figure out what the date is. Researches found this out and have already manipulated responses to this check to make it appear as April 1st. What they discovered is that it starts a rotation of checking several domains, looking to download an update to itself. The real concern is what this update might then instruct the computers to do.

Sony lost their mojo and they simply want to milk as much cash from their old successes as possible before dumping their Vista.

They have 1000's of questions with no answers and lots of advertising. And they hog goog searches. If Grand Daddy conficker does not have a sophisticated proxies, he will be destroyed in a few seconds upon sending out instruction sets. Hey, I wish Wiki Answers would go away.

It's not a date-based virus like the Michelangelo virus. It's just the suspicion that the command will be sent out on April 1st because it's been building for so long, people are getting impatient and want to see some fireworks.

Maybe they're trying to hit the Jerry Garcia bandwagon." I would have said — “Howard Stern… didn’t he die years ago? Maybe they’re trying to hit the Jerry Garcia bandwagon.”
