Submission + - Anonymous network I2P 0.7.2 released (i2p2.de)

Mathiasdm writes: "The Invisible Internet Project, also known as I2P, has seen its 0.7.2 release (download). I2P uses multiple encryption layers, and routing through several other computers to hide both sender and receiver of messages. On top of the network, regular services such as mail, browsing, file sharing and chatting are supported. This release (and all of the releases since 0.7) is at the start of a new development period, in which the I2P developers wish to spread the word about the secure network. This new release includes performance improvements, a first edition of an experimental new desktop interface and security improvements (by limiting the number of tunnels a single peer can participate in)."

Submission + - Anonymous network I2P 0.7.1 released (i2p2.de)

Mathiasdm writes: "I2P is an anonymous communication network that works by encrypting each message multiple times and forwarding them through other I2P users. Anonymity is an ever more important topic in a society where internet filters are installed and people are sued because they visited the wrong website.
I2P 0.7.1 has been released with a whole bunch of new features and improvements for users wanting to browse, mail, torrent or 'insert your favourite web activity here' (yes, there is porn). The new release is available for download."

This major version change marks a new period, in which the I2P developers wish to spread the word about the secure network. This new release includes improvements in the built-in bittorrent client, changes in the network exploration software and an experimental new address system using base32 hashes of destination keys.

Submission + - Omega Pharma claims miracle patch for cell phones (reuters.com)

Mathiasdm writes: "Omega Pharma, a big Belgian pharmaceutical company, is claiming to have a solution for countering radiation emitted from cell phones. It supposedly counteracts any possible side-effects of the radiation, it comes in the form of a small patch for your cell phone, and best of all... It's only 38.95 (or about 50 dollar)!
The device, known as the E-Waves Phone Chip "beams a quantum physical information wave, which is in counter-phase with the harmful components of the electromagnetic waves".
Anyone else got lost there?
Well, so did the Belgian University where one of the Omega Pharma researchers claimed to work. They quickly released a statement denying any involvement in the E-Waves chip.
What do you think? Snakeoil or a genuine invention?"
