If you thought Macs can't get viruses, you'd better think again. A new type of malware, specifically designed to target Macs, is spreading around the world â€” and most people don't even know it's a virus. It masquerades as a common download, fooling both users and Apple security. If you've noticed your Mac acting funky recently, you might want to run a scan just to be safe.

Have you ever been so mad you just wanted to smash things? Most people have felt that way at one point or another — but it’s taken until 2019 for someone smart enough to monetize it. Enter the “rage room:” a new type of pay-to-play experience for adults that combines the fun of escape rooms with the stress release of a gym. When you sign up for a rage room session, you’re placed in a closed room with piles of wood furniture and ceramic pottery to smash. Some rooms are even kind enough to offer weaponry like a bat or a hammer to aid in the destruction. Others encourage the participant to use their fists. Regardless of the method, most people who’ve used a rage room describe the experience as uplifting and healing. As for me, I’m kicking myself for not thinking of the concept first! Is there room for one more?

Not everyone needs a hammer to break things. These monks do just fine with a simple sewing needle.
