The sun is on fire! The sun is on fire! Well, kinda. A giant solar flare erupted from the sun early Tuesday morning that is utterly stunning to watch. It’s the biggest of its kind in four years and is just as cool to watch as a gorgeous sunset.
While it’s a natural occurrence in the atmosphere, all I can think about is what Harold Camping would say about this…

You know those poorly worded virus emails that have a way of winding up in our inbox with a random link inside? We all know NOT to click on them, right? Well, apparently not.
A virus called "Here You Have" (from the subject line of the pesky e-mail) is quickly turning into a global malware attack. This straightforward yet poorly worded e-mail is doing a great job at enticing users to click the malicious link contained inside. Servers at ABC, NASA, Comcast, Google and possibly US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) were all affected. This Here You Have virus shows us exactly why we need an entirely new approach to malware defense—read McAfee’s findings here.

Much as a pitcher has three strikes to send a batter packing, the U.S. military had three missiles ready to take out a falling satellite before it caused unforeseen destruction to human populations. The Navy only needed that first pitch as the satellite with the toxic fuel payload is now incinerated over the earth's atmosphere. If this had been a Hollywood movie, those first two would have missed forcing the commander of the Navy ship to seriously sweat his final shot. But this is reality and the after the U.S. military spent billions of dollars on an anti-missile defense system, it's nice to see that the thing works perfectly the first time. Because honestly, the next time the approaching menace may be far worse than a satellite.
