More on the Jessica Biel virus risk from Associated Press: Security technology company McAfee Inc. on Tuesday reported that searches for the 27-year-old actress are more likely to lead to online threats such as spyware and viruses than searches for any other celebrity.
McAfee said fans searching for the actress have a one-in-five chance of ending up at a Web site designed to damage one's computer. Its the third annual report on the subject from McAfee, which last year found that Brad Pitt was the "most dangerous" celeb online.
"Cybercriminals are star watchers, too," said Jeff Green, senior vice president of McAfee's product development. "They latch onto popular celebrities to encourage the download of malicious software in disguise." Following Biel in the report, in order, were Beyonce, Jennifer Aniston, Tom Brady and Jessica Simpson. McAfee noted President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama are curiously safe searches, ranking no. 34 and no. 39, respectively. Learn about presidential vehicles
About the Audi TT convertible
From The Car Connection: Last year Audi gave the TT a complete redesign; while the new TT doesn't make the design waves that the first-generation car did, the automaker finally dials up the TT’s performance to suit its racy profile. The 2009 Audi TT gets a few minor changes but is essentially carried over; however, 2009 brings an all-new, higher-performance TTS variant. On the standard TT are two different engine options: a turbocharged four-cylinder model with front-wheel drive or quattro all-wheel drive, and a V-6 model with quattro. Of these two, the V-6 (250 hp) is a little bit faster, but heavier, giving the 2.0T turbo (200 hp) a peppier feel. The four-cylinder engine also gets much better fuel economy than the V-6, with EPA ratings of up to 23 mpg city, 31 highway.
Very reasonably priced for a superstar, the TT Convertible can be had in the mid-$40k range.
About the Lexus RX400H (now RX450)
From MSN Autos: The RX 450h is the luxury hybrid crossover SUV from Lexus, which is redesigned for 2010 and replaces the RX 400h, which has been the top trim level of the RX lineup since it debuted for the 2006 model year.
The new RX 450h designation is indicative of the updated Lexus Hybrid Drive, which delivers 295 horsepower and improved fuel economy. The 3.5-liter V6 engine adopts the Atkinson-cycle combustion system, and the 288-volt DC nickel-metal hydride battery pack is lighter and more compact. Available with all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive, the redesigned RX 450h features a new version of the Lexus L-finesse design language while retaining the distinctive RX appearance. The original Lexus RX 300 was the first luxury crossover SUV when it arrived in 1998 as a 1999 model, and the RX 400h followed as the first luxury crossover SUV hybrid.
Also reasonably priced for a celebrity, an RX450 will run in the mid-$40k range, and has a 32-MPG highway mileage rating in front-wheel drive form.
