Just got out of a training class on patent filing. It was a good refresher.

The amusing thing was the poor attorney giving the power point presentation had her computer hijacked remotely during the middle of the class, and the hijacker opened up her firm email account while it was being displayed on the big projection screen. Clicked through a few emails and then loaded some updates and restarted the computer. And then proceeded to change a bunch of settings and stuff. She gamely tried to keep talking, but with no slides or handouts, and with a bunch of distracting stuff going on behind her, it was hard to pay attention.

I still don't have any idea what happened. Looked like when you give control of your PC up to the help desk so they can fix shit remotely.

After about 10 minutes and a few phone calls, and an IT lady showing up, the power point was restarted. But the damage was done.
