"But as they were busy pointing out the attacks on web pages belonging to Swedish rock band The Hives and web blogs award site the Bloggies"

Web blogs? Isn't that a bit like when people talk of PIN Numbers? y'know- wrong?

Happy

They have LCD displays in shops. Lots of LCD monitors or TVs, all on display…

So if I have this right, The Reg has a story about Phorm and Trend Micro one day, encouraging me to look at the Trend Micro site; possibly for the first time ever. Then the next day there's another story about Trend Micro infecting visitors to their site ? ... hmmmm....

What he means is that it's a... tautology(?*)...

PIN Number = Personal Identification Number Number

LCD Display = Liquid Crystal Display Display (though you could have a display of such, but that would be a Liquid Crystal Display, display).

Etc, &c.

*I know the word I mean and used it recently, it just escapes me at the moment - unless I'm correct but confused.

Dunno about confused as I can't be bothered looking it up, but you are missing quirkafleeg's point I think. I usually say 'redundant' for PIN number and LCD display, but in this case a bunch of LCDs on the shelves for people to see is indeed a display of LCDs. Or LCD display if you will. Perhaps he should've used the Joke icon instead?
