"Most people, I think, don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?" -- Thomas Hesse, president of Sony BMG's global digital business division, 2005-11-04, regarding the flap over dangerous DRM software on Sony music CDs that auto-installed on Windows computers. ( text quote in The Register, audio from NPR; note that various things have happened in this story since the time I added it to the QotD queue.)
