"Nokia's controversial CEO Elopjust revealed the prototype of the next WP7 handset. The CEO asked the journalists present to turn off the cameras because the new was "super confidential". Did he really expect them to comply? After all he must know that this has the potential to hurt the sales of the recently released N9, the last non windows smartphone. He would never want to do that, right?"Link to Original Source

"An italian court has found three Google managers guilty for allowing the distribution of a video where a Down's Syndrome teenager was bullied. The three face six months in prison (google translation). While this, by italian laws means they will not serve any time in prison (unless they had a previous conviction), it is a scary precedent for content providers across the globe."Link to Original Source

"Reuter has claimed that a group of scientists from University of Edimburgh realized a nanomachine acting as a Maxwell's Demon. Namely the device selects and traps other molecules based on their direction of motion. The existence of such a device would violate the second law of thermodnamics. It is worth noting that the researcher himself did not make such claim, simply crediting Maxwell for his work on electrodynamics and thermodynamics."
