SpaMP3: The latest in cutesy buzzwords for spam

Information Week is running a story on MP3-based spam, which they're calling SpaMP3. Oldtime readers know I am completely ga-ga over new names for old problems, so I'm totally in love with this story.

What they fail to mention is how creepy it the low bitrate/low sample rate actually sounds. Click here to download and hear it yourself -- note AV scanners may block, though there doesn't look to be anything evil about the file format.

It reminds me of an old-timey hypnosis tape. So, there's probably subliminal messages in there trying to get you to buy Cialis and get a low mortgage rate, too.
