Or, here’s some interesting trivia. On-demand books published now exceed the number of traditionally published books. Even large houses are seeing the value of keeping their back catalogs alive through on-demand printing. It’s a brave new world for the printed word.
Have you heard of botnets? They are collectives of PCs that have been infected by malware, that turns them into slaves for criminal organizations.
