The “ass-shit” post remains my most popular post of all time (or more accurately, since installing the plug-in), with over 54,000 direct hits and 35,000 archive views (but only 19 comments). The Macbook Pro RAID article claimed the #1 spot for weeks after I posted it, but the temporary fame garnered from hitting the front page of DIGG and getting linked from just about every tech blog out there failed to trump the actions of all of the sick bastards out there who continue to search for nasty stuff.

Happy new year!
