Internet security company McAfee did their annual survey of toxic search terms and found that there's a one-in-five chance of being directed to a malicious site when searching for her name.
"Cybercriminals are star watchers, too," said Jeff Green, senior vice president of McAfee's product development. "They latch onto popular celebrities to encourage the download of malicious software in disguise."
Latching onto celebs with 'malicious software?' Sounds a lot like someone I've seen doing that very same thing…

Just what I need… 50 comedians trying too hard in 140 characters or less.
But seriously, I'd be more concerned if you are following one of these 10 terribly unfunny Twitter accounts:
Utah State Senate/@utahsenate/Legislative Body What you can expect:"Thank you for paying attention."
Kelly Wallace/@cbskellywallace/CBS News Correspondent What you can expect:"I learned it is incorrect to call them rip tides. They are rip currents. If caught in one, swim parallel to shore to get out of it."
The Ghost Bus Tours/@GhostBusTours/Tour Bus Company What you can expect:"will be on the Robert Elms show at 2pm today, BBC Radio London"
Sad Bastard/@Sad_Bastard/Hot New Rockband from Amsterdam What you can expect:"@jeanettejoy Thanx for following us! We'll keep you updated on our projects!"
Control Global/@ControlGlobal/God Only Knows What you can expect:"@UsabilityProj Seeking input: How early should operators be brought into the planning process for automation projects? http://bit.ly/2SFvgc"
Cosmetic Surgery/@tummytucksrus/Gastric Banding Surgery What you can expect:"abdominoplasty Surgery for less at our Specialist Clinics in Europe check out the latest offers Now >> ."
Green_Day Freak :D/@snowfighter244/Foreign Green Day Fan What you can expect:"gerade Twitterfox auf version 1.8.3 upgedated…. Jetzt funktionierts überhaupt nich' mehr :( lustig…^^ // Dienstag Klettergarten :)"
Mormon Times/@mormantimes/Mormon Newspaper What you can expect:"Do you know any Mormons who were at Woodstock in 1969? Let us know: mormontimes@desnews.com"

You've probably ALWAYS wanted to be a greeting card writer, but never knew how to break into such a cutting edge, competitive industry. Well, thank goodness for the net, because now ANYONE can write greeting cards! And boy, are they good.
Pig Spigot lets users upload their own cards for everyone to print out and use! Just look at these awesome user submitted cards for:
If you guys don't already know, Gary Busey rules the internet. Sure, there's this awesome family photo. But have you seen the video of him being interviewed by an 11 year-old where he makes it real weird real quick?
Like I said, Gary Busey rules the internet.
This observation by Engadget surged on Digg last evening. See that guy in front of the white MacBook? His skin color is different on the Polish version of Microsoft's Business Productivity site. Well — all except for his hand. This is proof that MS Paint isn't exactly the best image editor.

I clicked on a link for "Baby On Board" thinking I was downloading a pirated copy of the hilarious 2009 Heather Graham / Jerry O'Connell film Baby On Board.
But what I got was the above photograph.
Is the image funnier than the movie? I highly doubt it!

Kickbee — the Twittering Fetal Activity Monitor — is a device pregnant women can wear around the waist that senses vibrations in the womb. If a "kick" is detected, it automatically posts that information to a Twitter account with a generalized, somewhat inane message such as "I kicked Mommy!"
Christ. So now all those self-absorbed, egomaniacal pregnant women who act like they're about to be the first human being to ever give birth can annoy the hell out of their friends and family all day wherever they are anywhere in the world with their mindless baby babble and hormone-driven cries for attention.
But watch the above promotional video: I can't even begin to describe how many things are wrong with it. For instance, at the 30 second mark when Daddy checks his iPhone for the "baby's" latest tweet, look at the phone: There's a picture of a baby on there.
Who's baby is that? It's not his: His baby hasn't been born yet. Is it a picture of what they expect their baby to look like? Or just some random baby 'cause he's a baby? That doesn't seem right.
But the video isn't even realistic: A smiling father getting constant fetus tweets? You know what he's thinking… When baby tweets: "I kicked Mommy!" Daddy is thinking, I should have kicked Mommy too… down a flight of stairs. Then I wouldn't have to deal with this bullshit.
What a jerk?! …but can you really blame him??

Congrats, America. We did it! The first internet addiction center opened up this week near Seattle, Washington.
For a mere $14,500 you can ween yourself off the world wide web, your phone, and online games while meeting other internet freaks just like you with the same freakish problems!
Surprisingly, insurance doesn't cover their twelve step program, but the good news is that I, too, have an internet addiction program you can enter that's much cheaper. It only costs $3,0046.87 (about the cost of the new MacBook Air I want) and it's simple:
STEP ONE: Get off the computer STEP TWO: Get a life!
You can PayPal me the money as soon as you’re cured. I promise it works.
In the meantime,or if you have a cool 14 grand to burn, check out all the details on their website. You would think a place who's goal is to get people off the net would not have a fully functioning website, but anyone stupid enough to pay that much for an internet addiction is probably not going to notice that.

It was only a matter of time before someone created a platform for those who hate Twitter. It's the Twitter antithesis. Woofer is a new service that forces people out of brevity by requiring 1,400 characters worth of depth and detail on every post. I thought that was called LiveJournal?
I can't even read a 1,400 character blog post — let alone write one. So, I think it's the perfect website for my antithesis. To all the Twitter-haters who call it mundane, cursory bullshit: You and your exciting friends should join Woofer! See how mundane and bullshitty your buddies become when they have to write 1,400 characters.
