Even the bigger companies with their own lawyers are scared of insulting the US Justice system by even remotely appearing to support illegal cyber crimes to the extent they will break minor laws to sure up their position. With the US now prepared to extradite anyone from anywhere for anything, everyone will fall into line.

Submission + - Do Bayer's Pesticides Make Worker Bees Lazy? (motherjones.com)
warewolfsmith writes: Corn prices remain quite high, driven up by the summer's prolonged drought. And since the United States is by far the globe's largest corn producer, prices will likely stay high until the next bumper crop in the Midwest replenishes global corn reserves. What does the health of bees have to do with the corn crop?

Submission + - Single Seat 70 kg Electric Airplane Maiden Flight (flynano.com)
An anonymous reader writes: World's first under 70 kg single seat electric airplane made it's maiden flight on 6/11/2012 — see the flight-video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BZxOmQppw4. With the price tag of just under $41k and capable of carrying single person it will be an ultimate airplane for those who are looking for something different. It has full carbon fiber body, electric motor and small lithium battery-pack. Battery can be charged from a standard household wall socket and it takes off and land in the water. So all you need is some nearby lake or pond to serve as your takeoff and landing site and the fun can begin.
