Submission + - Image piracy

Submitted by seralick
seralick writes: Many online artists have had to deal with image copyright infringements from people stealing their work and posting it as their own. Artists have dealt with this a number of ways, commonly including watermarks or otherwise changing the viewing of their picture. One artist however has decided to take a different tactic. When well known photographer (and security expert) Marcus J. Ranum finds some of his works copyrighted he goes about asking the sites to remove the pictures. One particular copyrighter has taken his stealing of the images to a new level, and has decided to attempt an online slander campaign against MJR for 'outing' him and his copyrighting ways. In response, MJR has created a website describing the whole bizarre situation. Goes to show, should careful who you antagonize online.

Submission + - Mars Rover Churns Up Yellow Soil

Submitted by

SeaDour writes: "Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory are taking a closer look at images sent back by the Mars rover Spirit nearly a year ago, showing bright yellow soil that had been churned up by the rover's wheels. The soil appears to contain high concentrations of sulfur as well as traces of water. "This material could have been left behind by water that dissolved these minerals underground, then came to the surface and evaporated, or it could be a volcanic deposit formed around ancient gas vents," said Dr. Ray Arvidson. Researchers are planning to see if the soil turns up anywhere else in the area, potentially giving more clues as to its origin."
