A PBS NewsHour blog late Sunday proclaimed that murdered rappers Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls were still alive and living in New Zealand. No, NewsHour did not have an exclusive, but were the targets of malicious hackers who broke into the PBS servers and defaced the site. The group responsible, called Lulz Sec, also posted online what appeared to be more than two thousand PBS passwords and login IDs. 

• Spyware: This little buggers are really common and easy to get infected with. Spyware is software that gets installed onto your computer without your knowledge or consent. Some are used for tracking and some are used to influence search results or cause all sorts of popups. If you have a lot of spyware on your system, it will start to slow down. The thing about spyware is that your regular anti virus software will NOT get them. I use FOUR different spyware programs to get rid of them all. It seems that NO one spyware removal software can get them all.
