03 Nik Collection by Google
This floated around for a while, until I finally decided to go in and download it. Google has made the Nik Collection of photo plug-ins available for free -- they work pretty well, but they really don't do anything that a seasoned Photoshop user couldn't do since version 3.5.

09 How to Use Your Web Browser's Fraudulent Site Protection Feature
Malware comes in many types, and it threatens you in many ways. In the early days of computers, the main worry was that you'd get infected by viruses that hid on floppy disks. That medium is no longer a threat, and most malware now is downloaded from the internet or attached to email messages.

10 And Finally, from Del Missier: MORMON CHURCH BUYS APPLE COMPUTER!
To the Apple Orchard:
from M.J. Del Missier

MORMON CHURCH BUYS APPLE COMPUTER!
Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed that Apple Computer will be sold to the Church of the Latter Day Saints. Apple stock jumped 15 points overnight. Cook explained that Apple needed to change postures and that moving to Salt Lake City will be a shot in the arm for the company, which has been mired in the Silicon Valley cesspool. "This will be a real Rocky Mountain High," said Cook, "and the image of clean living is just what Apple needs at this stage in our development".
Apple will retain its name and become a subsidiary of Computers for Christ, a Christian spin-off of Habitat for Humanity. Steve Wozniak is being recruited for marketing the concept, but rumour has it that Guy Kawasaki is also interested. Kawasaki was quoted as saying "Wow -- now I really can be an evangelist. Plus, I can do some serious Snow Boarding in Alta! We will all use an iPhone to facilitate the Operation via the expertise & carry a MacBookAir".
Ex-CFO Mike Markula will be asked to carry the financial burden, although when asked about the challenge, he reportedly replied "What burden? Well have so much money backing us up that I will recommend a 25% pay increase across the board for the top guns and an Apple on every bicycle".
A SpokesApple declined comment........
except for Happy AppleFools!
