From CrunchGear moments ago, reports of a new virus are coming out just this morning.  The virus seems to imbed a URL redirect to a phishing site.

The site apparently installs Antivirus 2009, which is malware. We’ll pull our most recent YouTube embeds, but be careful because this one appears to have just broken out today. If you find yourself being automatically redirected or experience other weird pop-ups, especially for something called Antivirus 2009, don’t click on anything.

Keep an eye out for more info/patches/etc on this.

Plasma torch garbage processing produces usable gas, electricity

Saw this one over at CrunchGear – it sounds neat. Yet I wonder what the net return will be on this. Are fuel costs factored in to ship trash there once the immediate local garbage dump is exhausted? Judging by the scale implied, the plant isn’t going to move from dump to dump, so in the long run trash will have to go there. While the number of trash we produce will easily fuel this concept – can we get it their cheap enough to make it a more viable solution?
