The feature I love most about Google+ is that, as soon as I take a picture or a video on my Android phone, it is immediately uploaded to my Google+ account, without any further action on my part. Suddenly, having control of the device isn't enough to guarantee that you have control of the data.

Submission + - NoW Hacking Whistle-Blower Sean Hoare Found Dead (bbc.co.uk)

SoVi3t writes: A postmortem on the body of Sean Hoare, the News of the World whistleblower found dead on Monday, is expected to provide a preliminary cause of death.

Police are treating the death of Hoare, 47, as "unexplained but not thought to be suspicious". Hoare was the first named journalist to allege that Andy Coulson, the former News of the World editor, was aware of phone hacking by his staff.

So by that reasoning it's ok for someone to go around beating people up because you suspect them of being corrupt but it's not ok to beat someone up because of their color, or gender, or color of the hair or because you were paid to?

Absolutely! Vigilante justice, while illegal and inappropriate where there is a legitimate justice system, is unequivocally morally superior to racially-motivated hate crimes. Do you really even have to ask this question?

While this is an interesting technology, perhaps it is not the best suited to roofing materials. It needs to be weather-proof, durable, and inexpensive. While I'd believe that something that can handle the dishwasher is fairly weather-proof, I'd also be suspicious as to whether it'd break down under constant UV exposure, and I'd be willing to bet that it's far, far more expensive to install than "white paint."
