Former Man Show host and current podcast host Adam Carolla has been scooped up by Fox News as an official contributor. While Carolla has appeared on the channel several times, he’ll now visit The O’Reilly Factor weekly, as well as other shows occasionally. Carolla’s politics are all over the map; he leans conservative and libertarian, but his progressive views on social issues may give him and O’Reilly a few no-fly zones.

In September Gilberto Valle’s estranged wife contacts the FBI after discovering “alarming†information on his home computer. She flees to her out-of-state family. The FBI and NYPD seize the computer and begin examining its contents, particularly focusing on Facebook postings and instant messages dating back to January.

Barnes & Noble has suffered a serious security breach in 63 of its shops. Payment readers were fitted with a bug, which has harvested details of customers’ credit cards. The firm discovered the breach over six weeks ago, but has kept the matter quiet at the behest of the Justice Department, in order to allow the FBI to investigate the crime.
There are two schools of thought as to how the crime was committed, and they both point to an inside job. Either it’s the work of a disgruntled/malicious employee, or that one of the workers in the store inadvertently clicked on a link to malware. The bookseller has since disconnected and checked out its 7,000 card readers. The New York Times, which broke the story, has published a list of the firm’s 63 stores which were breached.
Customers of the B&N website, app and its college stores, have not been affected.
