Jeez, what a shocker, the US government was being hacked for five years and they discover it only now, that's just pitiful. What's even worse is that the government was using McAfee to protect their data, they're better of using Norton, McAfee doesn't protect your computer at all , it only warns you of a threat just before your computer crashes. If the US government was being hacked for five years without knowing than i'm worried, because they supposedly have the most sophisticated software, a lot of good that did them. My advice to them is switch to Norton preferably Norton 2011

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Taurus

Get involved in financial transactions at your peril under today's Lunar Eclipse, because certain people will use them as a stick to beat you with. For instance, if you ask someone to lend you money they'll either make you feel guilty about it or dredge up all sorts of past instances when their trust was betrayed. You would also be well advised to avoid any show of possessiveness or jealousy, even if you feel it, unless you truly don't care about the disastrous outcome.
