Groupon is now offering higher education as one of its daily deals. The National Louis University is offering an introductory course at 60% off tuition for anyone seeking a graduate teaching degree. $950 could buy you the beginning of a career change. In other news, Iran is suspected of hacking a Dutch security firm that supplies security certificates for the CIA and massive technology companies. The Dutch government was so affected that it warned its citizens not to use its websites for the social security agency. The need for governments to have cyber-armies is growing. And finally, if you’re a Dish Network subscriber, you could soon have access to Blockbuster’s streaming movie library. The new service is expected next month and would be Blockbuster’s first foray into subscription-based streaming video. The deal would include Starz programming, giving it an edge over Netflix.
