Pity the fool who gladly clicked the link in his inbox recently, hoping to catch some promised vids of Obama making sweet love in the Ukraine. The e-mail spam offering such destitute treats actually installed malware on your computer as soon as you clicked the link. A keystroke logger (which gives access to your passwords) and a remote application (they can control your computer from anywhere!) means that once you open Pandora's sex box, you are basically signing away your desire to live a identity-theft free life.

Which serves you right. What Obama does in the bedroom is between him, God, and the National Enquirer.

Despite evidence to the contrary, ie our inbox, Google says it’s got the whole spam thing under control. The company claims that spam has leveled off and may even be declining. The reason: Gmail's success at catching junk mail has discouraged spammers.

Organizing all of the world’s information is one thing, but claiming to end spam, that’s a hubris the Greek Gods would punish.

Did you know med school is totally overrated? After all, everyone "in the know" sees PhD's are yours for the asking. Just think! While those suckers are shelling out a couple hundred grand, memorizing a bunch of boring medical jargon and spending a couple years working crazy 100+ hour shifts under the tutelage of "trained medical professionals," you could get the exact same degree delivered without even getting up from your couch!

Order a PhD.

Your new Diploma! No examinations! No classes! No textbooks! Call to register and receive your qualifications within days! 24 hours a day 7 days a week!

On another note, we think we've finally figured out what to give our Jewish mother for the holidays this year.
