Technolog - Malware attack specifically targets Mac users
The good news? So far it doesn't appear that the malicious MacDefender app does much, other than attempt to scare people into forking over their credit card numbers. It can even be easily removed:
To ensure you do not automatically download the app, uncheck the following: Safari > Preferences > General > uncheck 'Open 'safe' files after downloading.'
Searching for the application and deleting it directly may fail, saying the app is in use. To stop it running, check Activity Monitor (in Applications > Utilities) and disable anything that relates to MacDefender.
Look in /Library/StartupItems and, same place, LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons for references to the malware app.
Once quit, head to the Applications folder and drag the MacDefender app to the trash, then delete trash.
To ensure all references to the app are cleared, run a search using Spotlight and delete all MacDefender references you find.
As a precaution, it would be wise for Safari users to toggle the 'Open 'safe' files after downloading' setting whether they're infected or not. It could prevent attacks similar to this one.

Your options for multiple-word searches w/Google
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Google Gets AROUND
I recently started playing around with one of Google's lesser-known features, the AROUND proximity operator. Google's AROUND syntax lets you specify how close you want two terms to appear in a web site. This can be particularly useful if you are looking for two topics that may often appear on the same page but not in relation to each other.
Your options for multiple-word searches are usually to look for web pages that contain both words anywhere on the page or either word on the page, or to restrict the search to pages in which the two words are adjacent. Now you can also specify that two words or phrases must be no more than, say, 5 words apart. The syntax is search-word AROUND(x) search-word - replacing "x" with the maximum number of words you want between the two search terms or phrases. (Be sure you type AROUND in all caps; otherwise, Google treats it as just another search term.)
How does this work in real life? I was recently working on a project analyzing the impact on the workplace of the arrival of digital natives (those who have grown up with digital technology). A search for "digital natives" workplace turned up useful information, but I had to wade through a fair amount of irrelevant material in which the phrase digital natives and the word workplace both appeared, but not in the appropriate context. When I changed my search to "digital natives" AROUND(6) workplace, the results were more focused on what I had in mind. The difference wasn't dramatic but the results were definitely better.
For straightforward, just-get-me-the-answer searches, the AROUND feature probably will not improve your search results noticaably. The query ipad review returns roughly the same number of useful results as the query ipad AROUND(4) review, for example. Since Google factors in the proximity of search terms in calculating the relevance of each page, most of the top results will naturally have your search terms relatively close to each other. The value of AROUND emerges when you are looking for the intersection of two concepts that do not frequently appear near each other.
