Só lyk die wêreld se duurste motor

'n Klassieke Ferrari wat vir sir Stirling Moss gebou is, het die duurste motor ter wêreld geword nadat dit vir £22,7 miljoen (R299 miljoen) verkoop is.

Die 1962-model Ferrari 250 GTO, wat die Britse sakeman Eric Heerema besit, is aan 'n versamelaar in Amerika verkoop. Dit is een van agt klassieke Ferarri's wat die afgelope ses weke, te midde van groot aanvraag in die klassieke motormark, vir £97 miljoen (sowat R1,2 miljard) verkoop is.

Slegs 39 van die 250 GTO's is tussen 1962 en 1964 vervaardig en is elk vir £6 000 (sowat R79 000) verkoop, nou is dit een van die mees gesogte motors.

Ander eienaars sluit in Ralph Lauren en die Pink Floyd-ster Nick Mason.  

Alan Petrusson Allegedly Tied Himself To A Tree With Genitals Exposed To Wait For Anonymous Sex

What does a guy have to do to get some anonymous sex these days?

Last week, Ramsey, Minn. police say, Alan Petrusson tied himself to a tree, put a blindfold on, exposed his genitals and waited for anonymous sex near a public park, according to CBS Minnesota.

"It's the weirdest thing I've heard of out there," Ramsey Police Chief James Way told The Huffington Post. "We have had reports of sexual activity out there though."

Way also said he's skeptical of Petrusson's assertion that he was just sleeping.

"I don't believe that," he said. "That's up to a judge and/or jury to determine, if it gets that far."

Way said Petrusson faces charges of indecent exposure, lewd conduct and trespassing, since the tree he was allegedly tied to was not on park property.

A park visitor who spoke to CBS Minnesota was none too pleased to hear that the park is being used for public sex.

"I really do not appreciate in-your-face-type behavior like that," the unidentified woman said.

The Coon Rapids Herald reported that the park has seen its share of unseemly incidents, including when a man reading a book in his car was disturbed by a man reaching into his window.

Terre'Blanche judgment to start

Ventersdorp - Rightwingers and curious onlookers have gathered outside the High Court sitting in Ventersdorp on Tuesday, awaiting to hear the fate of Eugene Terre'Blanche's two murder-accused.


Members of the Afrikaaner Weerstandsbeweeging (AWB) stood opposite the court, clad in camouflage uniforms and sporting flags and banners in support of Terre'Blanche.


Some of the banners read: "AWB stood the test of time" and "Long live the AWB".


On another corner, members of the rightwing Gelofte Volk, an AWB splinter group, were also gathered in support of Terre'Blanche.


Leader Andre Visagie said he had mixed feelings about what to expect.


Not optimistic 
"We are not really very optimistic that justice will be done."


Police and police vans lined the streets surrounding the court. Heavily armed officers stopped family members and media from entering the court until the last possible minute.


Members of the community were also gathered outside the court. Everyone was warmly dressed to fight off the winter cold which has taken hold of the North West town.


Judgment on the two accused, Chris Mahlangu and a youth, was expected to start at 09:00.


The pair are charged with beating Terre'Blanche to death in his farmhouse outside Ventersdorp on 3 April 2010.


Both have pleaded not guilty to murder, housebreaking, and robbery with aggravating circumstances. Mahlangu has claimed he acted in self-defence. The teenager has denied involvement in the crime.


Long judgment 


Mahlangu and the youth declined to testify and, in April, the trial was postponed for judgment.


"It is probably going to be a long judgment. So prepare yourselves for a long judgment," Judge John Horn told the State and the defence.


The youth turned 18 shortly after the proceedings were postponed.


On Monday, North West police said it was prepared for large crowds which might gather outside the court.


"Based on previous confrontations between the two groups outside the court, police are expecting even worse situations than the previous ones and are up to the task," Brigadier Thulane Ngubane said.

Priest’s PC Autoplays Gay Porn Slideshow to Congregation

Father Martin McVeigh was giving a talk to 26 parents and one 8-year-old kid when computer disaster struck. He connected his USB drive into a PC to start his Powerpoint presentation and, instead of the word of God, a hardcore gay porn slideshow started—thanks to Windows' autoplay.

Some parents—who were there to hear McVeigh talk about First Communion—were angry. Others were in shock. Just like McVeigh. He was so embarrassed that, according to witnesses, unplugged the USB drive and walked out of the room without uttering a single word. Later he declared to the press:

I don't know how it happened but I know what happened. There are people making innuendoes who weren't even there but in this day and age these stories grow.

Well, Father, I think there's little space for innuendo after showing gay porn in church. McVeigh, however, claims there is an explanation for all this.

The Archdiocese of Armagh, where the parish belongs, called the police and gave them the USB stick for inspection. The police told them there was no crime in gay porn and the drive didn't contain any pedophilia. It was just normal gay porn.

According to The Ulster Herald, "an emergency meeting was held in the parish last night." You know, because gay priests are such a rare event that emergency meetings need to be held with the utmost urgency, so everyone can slam someone who mistakenly made his sexual preferences public. Embarrassment is not enough! To the fire with him.

How to avoid these embarrassing situations

This is a good reminder for anyone who has porn in their computers or USB drives and is giving presentations: people, turn off the autoplay feature in your Windows computer. Just go to your Start button, click on Control Panel, click on Hardware and Sound, and then click on AutoPlay. There you will be able to turn it on or off for each media type.

You should do the same with the address autocomplete feature in your browser—which will populate your address bar with your latest YouPorn antics if you forgot to use anonymous browsing. Since you you are it, turn off the most visited sites front page in your web browser too. The locations of these preferences will change depending on your preferred browser, but they should be easy to find.

And never, ever leave your screensaver pointed to a folder which may contain porn, as the screensaver may fire up during your presentation.

One last thing: if you have OS X Lion, remember its new application document handling: when you open an app, OS X will automatically open whatever documents were opened the last time it was running. Like a reader pointed out, this may lead to some embarrassing situations. Always close any potentially embarrassing documents before closing the app itself.

Don’t get faked by Android antivirus apps

If you’re worried about Android malware, choose wisely. There’s a good chance that your trusted security app does little to protect you, says a new report from independent testing organization AV-Test.

In a preview of the study e-mailed yesterday, AV-Test’s CEO Andreas Marx revealed that desktop antivirus vendors that have migrated to Android performed the best. Avast, Lookout, Dr. Web, Zoner, F-Secure, Ikarus, and Kaspersky detected 90 percent or more of the 618 types of malicious Android APK files that they were tested against. Lookout and Zoner are notable standouts because they are only available as mobile apps, and have no PC-based counterpart.

“Using these products you don’t have to worry about your malware protection,” wrote Marx. He also emphasized that the security apps that tested between 65 percent and 90 percent were very good and could easily improve their detection because several apps in this category missed one or two malware families. These malware families may not be threats in “certain environments,” he wrote, which may account for the lower scores.

The apps in this second group include the PC antivirus vendors AVG, Bitdefender, ESET, Norton (Symantec,) QuickHeal, Trend Micro, Vipre (GFI,) and Webroot; and two mobile-only vendors, AegisLab and SuperSecurity.

A third group comprised entirely of PC security suite vendors scored between 40 and 65 percent detections, and included Bullguard, Comodo, G Data, McAfee, NetQin and Total Defense. The report explains that their Android woes might also be due to insufficient sample collection infrastructure–basically, they might be too new to the field.

Twelve more apps detected more than zero percent but less than 40 percent of the samples, and a final group of six apps detected nothing at all. While the report hedges its bet and says that its possible that the apps detect threats that weren’t among the 618 samples, it’s more likely that they simply do not work at all. Alphabetically, these final six are Android Antivirus, Android Defender, LabMSF Antivirus beta, MobileBot Antivirus, MT Antivirus, and MYAndroid Protection Antivirus.

Overall, less than half of the 41 apps tested during February were found worthy; only 17 made the cut above 65 percent. The test was conducted using a combination of the Android SDK, which replicates a scalable environment, and an actual Android device for when the SDK wouldn’t work. The SDK would not suffice when the app called for SMS activation, or when the 3G network was too finicky to provide a stable cloud connection. The end result was that all results were cross-checked in the SDK, emulating API level 10 (Gingerbread 2.3,) and on a real device, a Samsung Galaxy Tab running Froyo 2.2 and a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0. Apps were allowed to update to their latest versions before testing, and to connect to the cloud during testing.

But is my favorite app really worthless?
The authors state in the report how challenging it is to correctly identify active, threatening malware on Android. In the report, they chalk this up to three factors: the relatively small number of malware samples; the challenge in figuring out how prevalent malware apps are; and the fact that, problems aside, malware apps are removed fairly rapidly from the Android Market and the even the user’s own device.

Also, none of the ancillary security features were tested, such as remote lock and wipe, lost or stolen device location options, or data backup.

AV-Test concludes that it’s possible to have sample sets that are easily marred by malware that is no longer or never has been relevant. Why even bother testing if the results are so hard to replicate? The report explains that to limit the problems of these variables, only the most widely known malware families were used, and only those discovered between August and December 2011. By looking at the family detection rates, AV-Test says, “it is still possible to get a fairly accurate picture of the absolute detection rate.” For malware detection, AV-Test recommends any of the 17 apps that finished above 65 percent. It advocates using one because of the ability for ostensibly benign apps to download malware after they’ve been installed.

All these problems are symptomatic of the larger challenge that the security industry has in justifying its existence.

How the hell?????

Electric Cigarette Explodes in a Man's Face

A Florida man is in the hospital after the battery in his electric cigarette caught fire and exploded, knocking out all of his teeth and part of his tongue. We already knew that electric cigarettes weren't good for your health, but that's ridiculous.

On Monday Evening, 57-year-old Tom Holloway, was at home enjoying a nice smoke when his e-cig blew up in his face. The explosion scattered scolding debris in all directions, horribly burning Holloway's face and setting his study on fire. Holy crap.

Holloway started smoking electric cigarettes two years ago after experiencing lung problems from smoking too many ordinary cigarettes. While that doesn't really make sense, I certainly hope that Holloway's going to be alright, and that in trying to make his health better he didn't end up making his life worse. No word on exactly what type of e-cigarette Holloway was smoking or what exactly caused the battery to explode, but the matter is being investigated.

Will ‘Viagra in a Condom’ Get Guys To Like Using One?

The rubber, the cock sock, the goalie, the love glove, the salami sling. No matter how many adorable monikers it gets, no one really likes a condom very much.

But that all might be about to change, at least for dudes. Durex has a new condom out that promises to enhance erections with a gel inside the tip that contains Zanifil. The over-the-counter drug boosts blood flow in the penis, which leads to firmer, larger, and longer-lasting erections for men who might find that condoms dampen their enthusiasm for doing the deed.

Zanifil is frighteningly based on the chemical nitroglycerin, which relaxes the muscles in blood-vessel walls, therby increasing blood flow—which actually makes sense because that's how it helps people not have heart attacks. Zanifil also employs a delivery system that allows medicine to permeate the skin quickly.

And there's something to look forward to! Futura, the company that makes Zanifil, is also making a topical spray that helps delay ejaculation, which should be available in the United States next year. It's all around good news today for penises.

Christmas is upon us. The time of year where we once again delve into the world of memories, love, warmth, kindness, forgiveness, friendship and emotions. It's been a whole year of living and now everything seems to slow down. Trees are being erected, presents bought, holiday plans are being made and relatives and friends are coming together once again to spread the cheer. It is the time of love, the time of joy, the time of affection, the time of forgiveness, the time of laughter and the time where we remember those that we forgot, think of those that we have met, miss those that have been part of our everyday lives and praise those who stood by us and was true friends to the end. It is the time where we finally can say thank you, I love you, I miss you, I appreciate you, I need you, and where wishes of hope, love, warmth, fun, and laughter is spread freely, given away without expecting anything in return. Where hearts are either broken or mended, friendships made or destroyed, Family brought closer together or ripped apart. Were we can be human or animals. And where life can be given or taken away. The shopping lists grow large, credit cards are maxed out, debt is created and special presents are bought so that once a year we can give the gift of giving. Some people will work, others go on holiday. Yes ladies and gentlemen, I also have my list, I also have my travelling plans ready and will also be setting forth on an adventure. But we must never forget what Christmas is all about. It's not about gifts, it's not about money, it's not about pride, it's not about who can spend the most or buy the best. It's about spending something that we have only a limited amount of and that will never fade away. Something that will never break, never expire, never be taken for granted. That my friends are what it's about. A hug, a kiss, a word of kindness.....things that cannot be bought. The warmth of a family, the comfort of joy and laughter, the act of spending time together. Time that can run out quickly and unexpectedly. That is what it's all about.

This year I was fortunate to discover what it actually means. And I am looking forward to experience Christmas like never before. So as I end this blog, I wish everyone a very very merry Christmas. May your journey keep you safe, may you have an absolutely stunning holiday. And may we all come together again in the new year with hope, love, warmth, kindness, understanding and tolerance.

Merry Christmas all and a very happy new year. Blessed be!
