...Whatever you do, watch out for spyware that's pretending to be anti-spyware. There are some 200 rogue anti-spyware applications out there, says Webroot CEO David Moll. Surreptitious software hijacks a user's computer, then pops up a little box-looking for all the world like it's been generated by Microsoft-warning the computer has been infected. It then asks the user to click on a link to download anti-spyware. The money goes into the rogue's pocket, and the computer is still sick. "That's as sneaky as it gets," says Moll. "Spyware is advancing...
Faced with the higher tab for higher education, applicants are routinely asking colleges about the number of job offers and starting-salary averages for their graduates. With the cost-conscious in mind, Richard Moll, dean of admissions at the University of California, Santa Cruz has written The Public Ivys, due out next month.

Ruth is a woman both of her time and out of it. Like a 1950s moll, she indulges men's fantasies of the blond bombshell; like an '80s woman, she is spikily determined to come to them on her own terms. This sexy, witty film has the texture of a '50s B movie: these are small, doomed people viewed unsentimentally as they take their sport in cramped bedrooms or walk along soot-swathed streets with murder in their eyes. Though Richardson has the showstopper part, Holm is the class act here. With his finicky mustache and sad, knowing eyes...
...high-quality product, Mollie’s intensity has freed me up to pursue my resolution for the new year (5765): watch more Daily Show. Without Mollie’s extraordinary dedication I would not have been free to become a lounging, responsibility-abdicating, frequently intoxicated louse. Thanks, Moll...
