Why not use DeadDrop[0] for leads/sources? The New Yorker[1] seems to be the only notable publication using it. PJ has shutdown before, I'm sure she'll be back again. [0] https://github.com/deaddrop/dead

You're worried about family tree data? Births, marriages, deaths, etc are all public information. This data should be free and open instead of behind pay walls or locked away in a records office or library. Google combinations of yo

This is where 'social engineering' comes in super duper handy. 'Interview' them for a 'publication' and pepper them with fluff as well as the questions you really want to ask.

I'm pretty sure Intel gives Apple a huge discount vs. the retail prices that AnandTech posted. Is it newsworthy that Mac Pros will be expensive? They have always been >$1000 more expensive than a comparable PC. People who care ab
