Supreme Court: GPS devices equivalent of a search,-> 2

gambit3 writes "The Supreme Court says police must get a search warrant before using GPS technology to track criminal suspects.

The court ruled in the case of Washington, D.C., nightclub owner Antoine Jones. A federal appeals court in Washington overturned his drug conspiracy conviction because police did not have a warrant when they installed a GPS device on his vehicle and then tracked his movements for a month."

Tin Whiskers On Toyotas Revisited->

Submitted by clm1970
clm1970 writes "A recent investigation into the supposed "Tin Whiskers" on the Toyota acceleration problem has yielded some results. A symposium at the "International Tin Whisker Symposium" detailed that depending on how the accelerator pedals in Toyota vehicles were actuated could trigger sudden and unintended acceleration. It seems safe to say that "tin whiskers" are a big problem when there's enough interest to have an "international symposium" on the subject."
