Scoble’s Ex-Girlfriend is Mad?
This morning, my wife woke me up to tell me that some woman was talking out of my computer, about “you f-ing the girl next door” uncensored. When I went down to check it out, I found that my computer was playing the full version of Lily Allen’s “Smile”. While it was a relief to find that it wasn’t actually a bitter woman talking directly to me, I naturally wanted to be able to explain to my wife how someone had managed to wake us with a song about a bitter ex-girlfriend.
After eliminating Messenger as a possibility (whew!), I started eliminating open tabs on IE. It turns out the music was coming from FaceReviews.com. Some more investigation showed that it was actually coming from Robert Scoble’s Kyte.tv channel, which was embedded in FaceReviews.com. Navigating to his channel on Kyte.tv shows what happened:
Now, who would do such a thing? Whoever it was is not very ladylike, since it’s not nice to send the “f” word to random unsuspecting people’s computers, nor is it ladylike to use “jack” as a verb.

Sorry about that… We had access to the channel and were playing with it with Robert and the Kyte people…
We literally threw some pics up for a slideshow and randomly chose a song to test out all of the functionality of kyte. All better now. No more music
