In all seriousness... how do they expect to generate energy with this? I mean 99% of a subway ride is either you sitting there, or standing room only. Either way, you're not walking around and thus not generating any power unless you are boarding or exiting. I didn't RTFA, are they talking about putting these peizoelectric generators on the floor of the station or the subway car itself? It would probably make more sense to line the damn subway tracks with something like this so that they can "recycle" some of the energy used to power the cars.

This makes perfect sense to me. Probably neither one of them were "spies" per se, but I'm sure they were out to make a quick buck (selling your hardware to the highest bidder) and of course the highest bidder is the one looking for adversary technology. I bet the guy looking to make a quick buck by selling sensitive information doesn't feel any particular duty to his homeland at all. Rather it's all about greed.

CRTC Rules Bell Can Squeeze Downloads 245

pparsons writes "Bell Canada Inc. will not have to suspend its practice of 'shaping' traffic on the Internet after a group of companies that resell access to Bell's network complained their customers were also being negatively affected. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission today released a decision that denied the Canadian Association of Internet Providers' request that Bell be ordered to cease its application of the practice to its wholesale customers."
