Blogger's Corner stuck way back in the rear of the exhibit hall.
Cox did not return with me immediately as he was assisiting a very nice supporter of Condi Rice in the food court on the basic steps of how to set up a blog for her efforts.
When he did - he too realized what Fund was doing AGAIN!
("The National Debate's" Robert Cox wanting his computer back)
And that my friend is where the story truly begins to get interesting.
Cox in a very coy voice asks Fund, "will you be long?"
Fund: "Nope I just need a minute more..." (he had already been on about 20 at this point...)
Cox: "I believe they had some software installed on these machines - so be careful - they may be recording your every keystroke."
Fund: (A dumb-founded look upon his face, a medium size gulp in his throat) "Um...ok...well that should be fine. I just wouldn't want anyone to read my e-mail..."
In the length of time that he persisted on Cox's machine I was able to snap the photos you see in this story and e-mail them one by one from my phone to myself.
Not long after that - Fund departs, no "thank you"s, no "I'm sorry for using your private computer, etc.".
It was at this time that Cox returned to his machine where he realized that when Fund had arrived Cox's browser had been opened to the front page of The National Debate which included on that front page Bob's continuing contributions to the funny Fund episode.
As Cox began closing the browsers that Fund had left open on the laptop, a small window opened alerting Cox, or whoever else might have seen it - that they were still logged in - to the Dow Jones servers as an admin user for the Wall Street Journal.
In addition to that Fund had left his access to Outlook Mail opened with his full lists of e-mail waiting and ready to be read. To Cox and the rest of the blogger's credit - none was accessed. We can reveal though that one of the e-mail subject lines read "Smokin' Hot Dancer".
Cox issued a quite helpful e-mail that we all hope John reads so that he doesn't allow future hackers to mess with the beloved Wall Street Journal or Dow Jones servers.
John,
Good to see you at CPAC. Recall that you were using my laptop while I
grabbed lunch.
I hit the BACK button to get back to where I was when you sat down and
found your Outlook Inbox was displayed. You also left my computer logged into the WSJ mail server; anyone could have come by and sent e-mails from your account and possibly used your remote connection to access the Dow Jones servers.
You might want to be more careful when you jump on someone's PC.
