Malicious

Drunkorexia n. A potent cocktail of liquor and starvation increasingly popular among women who offset the calories in alcohol by eating little or nothing before hitting the town. A drunkorexic can enjoy three glasses of pinot grigio for every skipped Snickers bar. Racetrack memory n. The future of data storage, in which bits are shuttled around nanoscale wires like horses circling a track. With no moving parts, it's expected to combine the speed and durability of flash memory with the low cost and capacity of magnetic hard drives. Flight insurance n. Payment in cash or stock options to high-value employees following a takeover, offered as an incentive not to leave the company. The anticipated expense, possibly in the billions of dollars, may have saved Yahoo from acquisition by Microsoft. Malicious hardware n. Computer circuitry hardwired with back doors to give hackers undetectable remote access.
