AOL Instant Messenger Warning

If you use AIM, take note of this. If you receive an IM from a friend that is just one line with a hyperlink on one of the words, check the hyperlink (by putting your mouse cursor over it for a second) and see what the link says before you click it. Clicking it will download a worm to your computer that will allow somebody to take complete control if they want to. I have gotten a couple of these IM's in the past few days, but knew what it was so didn't click it.

You have been warned.

Mark your calendar

Mark Your Calendar for the year 2029. Thats when an asteroid passes between the Earth and the Moon, and scientists will be able to determine if the chances are greater than the 1 in 14,000 currently predicted odds of it hitting earth in 2036. A real life Armaggeddon? Probably not, although it is being suggested they track it closer in order to better determine the chances of it hitting us. Personally, I'd give it a few years, thats a long time away.
