I think you're skipping the part where he gave the information to respected Western journalistic organizations and didn't actually have it on his person when he went overseas. Because frankly, that would be an incomprehensibly stu

At best, the juror would be dismissed and replaced as soon as their lie was revealed. At worst, the juror would be held in contempt of court (or similar) and become another victim of that same corrupt justice system.

I'm an Android user, they can already see my contacts, thus they can already deduce who I know. As someone on the internet, they can already crawl any publicly available data about me, including blog posts, tweets, forum posts, mailing

At first I thought Stagefright was the catchy name for the bug, and I expected to see a nifty logo for it as well.

One very important change they can make on the G+ mobile app is to make the Share button open up the Share Intents menu, instead of just re-posting to my own G+ page. G+ can't very well grow without escaping its own echo chamber, can

Any science could be turned to evil purpose, as well. Just like open source code that gets used to create malware.

I find a lot of online news publications still write as though they're dealing with print. NYT has made huge strides with this, greatly increasing the amount of visualization and interactivity in their articles.

OT: The use of text-shadow to break the underline on a link where it passes through a descender is pretty darned clever. See the first link to Eager under "Why You Need Stout" to see what I mean, where the underline is hidden wher

This is why I'm so thankful for scientists like Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Carl Sagan, who have put themselves very much in the public eye as positive representatives of hard science. Similarly, the Mythbusters cast, Bill Nye, and others
