...will arrive some night during the next few weeks, when a fellow from id Software will quietly upload the game onto a secret Internet-linked computer. Within minutes, Quake will be copied to three dozen public computers nationwide. Then ravening game players, like mosquitoes attacking suntan-oiled vacationers, will suck the program into their home PCs.

HotWired, the electronic sister publication of Wired magazine, has been ceaselessly twitting other successful sites--such as Time Warner's Pathfinder and the computer guide c|net--for offenses real and imagined.
