Unlike your Yahoo email account, which ceases upon death, Facebook wants to keep your profile alive. Upon the request of friends or family, Facebook will "memorialize" profiles of those who have died.

These accounts will be different than regular Facebook profiles. For example, any contact information will be removed and people will be barred from logging in. The profile also will not be included in the "suggestion" section, and only the deceased person's confirmed friends will be able to find them in a search.

A search for Jessica Biel's topless screenshots from the film "Powder Blue" will likely leave you with more than you were looking for, namely in the form of computer viruses. Biel topped this year's list of the most "dangerous" online celebrities as compiled by McAfee.

According to McAfree, searches for the 27-year-old actress are more likely to spread viruses than any other star. There is a one in five chance that looking for information, wallpapers, images, and videos of Jessica would lead users to a website designed to cause damage.

So who else is dangerous? Here is the full list:

After a New York Supreme Court judge ruled that Google reveal the identity of an anonymous blogger who created the "Skanks in NYC" blog on its Blogger.com platform, the woman whose identity was revealed - Rosemary Port - plans to sue the Internet giant. Speaking for the first time since the ruling, Port also says that model Liskula Cohen should blame herself for the uproar.

Port said,

"This has become a public spectacle and a circus that is not my doing. By going to the press, she defamed herself. Before her suit, there were probably two hits on my web site: one from me looking at it, and on from her looking at it. That was before it became a spectacle. I feel my right to privacy has been violated.

Port, 29, added that she is furious with Google for revealing her identity. She is so upset that she is planning to file a $15 million federal lawsuit against them.

The Fashion Institute of Technology student added:

On Monday, a Manhattan judge rules that a blogger cannot hide behind a web of anonymity while flinging insults at another individual. The ruling orders Google to turn over the identity of an anonymous blogger who devoted an entire blog entitled "Skanks in NYC" to defame model Liskula Cohen.

Once Ms. Cohen learns the identity of her online attacker, which may happen as early as today, she can then serve the blogger with a defamation lawsuit.

The blog in question was set up through Google's blogging platform, Blogger.com, last yar. It included fashion shots of Cohen with disparaging captions using the words "ho", "whoring", and "skank."

The blogger had argued that these remarks were "non-actionable opinion and/or hyperbole" in an attempt to remain anonymous.

Cohen, 27, said yesterday::

"I really hope it's not somebody I know. I'm a human being. I bleed. I have feelings. When I saw that blog, it was awful. All I can say for this person is, I really truly hope that they have more in their life than this."

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Joan Madden wrote in her decision:

President Barack Obama's healthcare reform plan has slowed a congressional website to a near grinding halt. As voters from around the U.S. continued to flood members with e-mail about the proposed legislation, the internet system serving the House of Representatives remained extremely sluggish.

Technical support warned congressional staff that the www.house.gov website might be slow or unresponsive due to the large volume of emails being sent to members. A spokesman for the House's chief administrative officer, which maintains the website, said "It is clearly healthcare reform. There's no doubt about it."

Three of the web's most popular social networking websites - Facebook , Twitter and LiveJournal - were both targeted in malicious Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks Thursday morning. Twitter first acknowledged that their downtime was a result of a DDoS attack, followed sometime later by Facebook, and then LiveJournal.

During the attacks, Twitter was completely inaccessible to users. Facebook fared a bit better and worked, although not completely. Facebook users encountered quite a few errors rather than an inability to access the site altogether. LiveJournal users also encountered a number of problems.

What does this mean? This was a deliberate attempt by some nefarious group to take down three of the most popular social media sites. Given the strength and size of the infrastructure of these sites, the attacks had to have been coordinated and planned for months.

It's likely that the FBI will jump in to investigate the origin of these attacks today. Just when we the public might find out who was behind it, however, remains to be seen.

There could be other sites out there as well that were or are still affected. Have any of your favorite social media sites been acting funny today? Let us know in the comments.

On Monday, the U.S. Marines issued an order that bans social media sites including Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace on its network. The order explains that these sites increase the risk of sensitive information leaking to adversaries.

The ban will be in effect for one year. It essentially bars Marines from all public social networks unless a mission critical need exists.

The document reads:

THESE INTERNET SITES IN GENERAL ARE A PROVEN HAVEN FOR MALICIOUS ACTORS AND CONTENT AND ARE PARTICULARLY HIGH RISK DUE TO INFORMATION EXPOSURE, USER GENERATED CONTENT AND TARGETING BY ADVERSARIES. THE VERY NATURE OF SNS CREATES A LARGER ATTACK AND EXPLOITATION WINDOW, EXPOSES UNNECESSARY INFORMATION TO ADVERSARIES AND PROVIDES AN EASY CONDUIT FOR INFORMATION LEAKAGE THAT PUTS OPSEC, COMSEC, PERSONNEL AND THE MCEN AT AN ELEVATED RISK OF COMPROMISE. EXAMPLES OF INTERNET SNS SITES INCLUDE FACEBOOK, MYSPACE, AND TWITTER.

It's about time. Announced Tuesday in conjunction with AT&T, Barnes & Noble bookstores nationwide will now offer free Wi-Fi access. The majority of the retail stores are already hotspots through AT&T, but the once paid access service will now be free of charge in an attempt to expand customer awareness of Barnes & Noble's growing e-book library.

Those with laptops, and Wi-Fi equipped smartphones and other wireless devices will now be able to surf the web in stores without being required to set up an account or pay.

Recently, BN took aim at Amazon.com and its Kindle e-book reader, announcing its own "eBookstore" along with plans to release its own dedicated e-book reader. Offering Wi-Fi for free in their stores is at least partially geared towards building customer awareness of the new eBookstore.

The BN eBookstore launched with 700,000 titles, 500,000 of which are free public domain books available through Google. Comparatively, Amazon.com has an inventory of 300,000 titles.

Two of Hollywood's most famous over-sharers on the microblogging website Twitter.com - Ashton Kutcher and his wife Demi Moore - are threatening to boycott the service if the company decides to go ahead with plans for a television show. Kutcher not only tweeted his disapproval, but also convinced his wife Demi and director Robert Luketic to join him in his protest.

Luketic subsequently tweeted: "If this is true my shop is closed", and Demi followed up with: "I hope this isn't true — if it is, our Twitter time may come to a quick and sad end!"

Though the Catholic Church is steeped in thousands of years of tradition, it doesn't mean they aren't keeping up with the modern world. The Vatican is now taking new technologically savvy steps to bring its messages to social networking sites and smartphones through new Facebook and iPhone applications available through the new Pope2You web portal.

Launched Thursday, the Facebook app allows web users to send virtual postcards of Pope Benedict XVI to their Facebook friends. The Pope2You portal - located at www.pope2you.net - will even allow you to follow the Pope's travels using an iPhone. The iPhone app also works with iPod Touch, and gives surfers video and audio news on the pope's travels and speeches, as well as Catholic events around tehw orld.

On just its first day of operation, the Pope2You portal acquired 45,000 contacts and 500,000 pageviews, and the new Facebook app was used about 10,000 times.

The introduction of the iPhone and Facebook apps are just the latest efforts in the Vatican's efforts to reach young people and broaden the pope's audience. This past January, the Pope got his own YouTube channel (which is now linked on the Pope2You portal).
