"Eccentric millionaire" John McAfee finally reveals his strategy for removing his namesake anti-virus software. (Credit: Screenshot by Eric Mack/CNET) In the past year, estranged antivirus kingpin John McAfee has been accused of being many things -- madman, drug addict, and murderer, just to name a few -- but as the video below proves, you certainly can't accuse him of taking himself too seriously. In the very NSFW four-minute clip, McAfee slams the software he created (but has had not contact with for more than a decade, as he points out) for its tendency to update itself at the most inconvenient times and ultimately offers an, uh, unorthodox method for uninstalling it.

This is just one piece of a giant panorama. (Credit: Screenshot by Amanda Kooser/CNET) NASA is going big. Very big. The space agency used technology from panoramic equipment and software company GigaPan to help stitch together a massive image of the surface of Mars that hits 1.3 billion pixels. The interactive view of the Rocknest landscape is courtesy of the Curiosity rover. It took the rover's three cameras and image collection activities spread over several different days to gather all the visual data. This is the first NASA-produced image from the surface of Mars to top the 1-billion-pixel mark Related stories Buzz Aldrin has a plan to get us to Mars by 2035 Mars Curiosity Rover gets second life as Lego model "It gives a sense of place and really shows off the cameras' capabilities," says Bob Deen of the Multi-Mission Image Processing Laboratory at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Chocolate syrup glides off a shoe coated with NeverWet. (Credit: Screenshot by Christopher MacManus/CNET) Imagine spilling red wine or chocolate syrup on your shirt, only to watch it glide off as if nothing ever happened in the first place. Hogwash? No, it's called NeverWet. Awhile back, I wrote about NeverWet, a superhydrophobic coating that can be applied to nearly any surface and repels liquids startlingly well. To bring NeverWet to the masses, developer Ross Nanotechnology licensed the product to Rust-Oleum, which recently started selling the spray for $19.97 at Home Depot.

You have to love the boy and girl icons. (Credit: Screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET) Sometimes my CNET handlers like to challenge me. Or perhaps they're sending me a discreet message. Today, for example, one of my knowing leash-pullers sent me details of an app he thought might interest me. I took one look and wondered what he might have meant, for this was not something I would ever Pinterest. You see, I now have set indelibly in my mind that there exists an app called STD Triage. I know you're already slightly ahead of me in understanding what service this app might offer. For it aims to lift the embarrassment from your need to know right now where you've been. The idea is that you photograph your fears and discomforts. Next, they are reviewed within 24 hours by a licensed dermatologist. About 20 million Americans a year discover they have contracted a sexually transmitted disease, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tells us (PDF). But the CDC has also noted (PDF) that STDs are a "hidden epidemic," with many people being too sheepish to report infection. With STD Triage, your anonymity is guaranteed -- but, of course. Moreover, when ...

How sad La Perry must have felt. (Credit: AmericanVogue/YouTube screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET) As one who has been dumped by Skype, registered mail, Pinot poured on bald head, head-butt, intermediary, and sudden marriage to another, I wondered what could possibly remain. Then I read Katy Perry's plaintive revelation that the very humorous star of "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," Russell Brand, had allegedly told her to forget their marriage by text. I had heard that this might be a method employed in middle school to end what wasn't meant to be. However, I wasn't aware that those designated as adults might also believe this was appropriate etiquette. I can rarely tell whether stars do things to set trends, or whether they're merely following suit on what they've heard from groupies. My natural instinct is that a texted sayonara must indicate a relationship that has become irretrievably sour. If you can only be bothered to spend seconds composing your good-bye, how much can it really mean? Statistics from the U.K., for example, suggest that 1 in 10 people have been rejected by text. They can't all be recently pubescent, can they? ... [Read more]Related Links:

What do you think about the design of the PlayStation 4 interface? (Credit: Screenshot by Christopher MacManus/CNET) Despite the bountiful PlayStation 4 chatter and coverage, some people still don't have an idea what it's like to actually use the highly anticipated gaming device. A new video produced by Sony gives a feel for the console by showing several actors playing games, sharing gameplay footage, and setting up downloads remotely. While the presentation comes off a bit cheesy (I mean, really, do people ever act like this in real life?), several interesting observations can be gleaned from the footage.
