Vernon Blake got the sack, apparently for doing his job. He was pissed off with his boss always playing solitaire and not doing any work. So he installed win-spy, software that secretly takes screenshots of users activity. Low and behold his boss was playing solitaire all the time – so Blake went to management and told them. As a result he got sacked, but his boss got off with a verbal warning.
His site is here, including screenshots of his bosses computer. Slashdot cover it here.
