Ernest Borgnine, who created a variety of memorable characters in both movies and television and won the best-actor Oscar for his role as a lovesick butcher in "Marty" in 1955, died Sunday. He was 95.
Borgnine's longtime spokesman, Harry Flynn, told The Associated Press that Borgnine died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles with his family by his side.
Publisher's Note:
Mr. Borgnine will always be remembered by the children (and adults) as "Mermaid Man," a character on Spongebob Squarepants television program on the 'Nickelodeon' channel.
PSA: Evict DNSChanger now or lose the web Monday
Today’s malware has a deadline: get rid of DNSChanger now, or come Monday, July 9, you may find yourself without access
to the internet altogether. Hundreds of thousands of computers around
the world have been infected by the trojan, which changes DNS settings –
among other things – so as to route web traffic through compromised
servers. Now, the FBI is preparing to pull the plug on those servers –
and many people’s internet connection with them.******
The best news is, checking for a DNSChanger infection on your system and, if found, getting rid of it is straightforward. First step is heading to dns-ok.us in your browser: that will tell you whether or not there’s a sign that your computer has been infected. If it’s green, you’re in the clear (though it’s probably still worth forwarding this article on to friends and family – particularly net-confused parents – who might need some assistance checking their own machines).
If it’s red, however, you have a DNSChanger problem. Thankfully there are multiple options to get rid of it: Microsoft has a tool, as do key anti-virus vendors such as McAfee and Norton. There’s a full list of them here, and usually it’s just a case of downloading and running an app to get your computer back on an even keel.
