While technically this is correct, in essence what you get is a 6-month trial to Norton Anti-Virus. Don’t get me wrong, Norton is a great product (here are some reviews), but a 6-month trial is usually the sort of thing that gets you hooked on a product, then forces you to pay a yearly subscription.

Bottom line is, watch out when someone offers you a free lunch. While there are free anti-virus products out there (AVG for example), it’s quite easy for someone to offer you something that appears free, but is not really so. Always make sure to read the fine print!

There’s a number of places online where you can “buy” an acre of moon terrain:

So, what do you get for your money. Well, it seems that you get a nice certificate, and nothing else really. According to NASA, everyone out there is just a fraud and the moon falls under the same jurisdiction as international waters and property rights are governed by the United Nations. So, don’t rush off an buy an acre of moon this Xmas :-) >
