"Police on Friday seized several computers from the home of Gizmodo editor Jason Chen, after they were granted a warrant allowing them to confiscate property that "may have been used as the means of committing a felony." While no specific crime is mentioned in the warrant, it's assumed to be in response to last week's series of posts about Apple's next-generation iPhone, a prototype of which Gizmodo obtained from a source who found it after an Apple engineer left it behind in a bar."Link to Original Source

"NASA Spends $450 Million for Shuttle Flights; Robert Harrison Uses Weather Balloons, Duct Tape for $750. A typical space shuttle mission flies 200 miles above the earth's surface and returns beautiful pictures on the way, but it involves 1,500 people, puts six or seven astronauts at risk and costs, depending on who's doing the counting, close to half a billion dollars. A British inventor uses a camera, balloon and duct tape to photograph space. Robert Harrison got some pretty good pictures too. He did it with a weather balloon, a used digital camera he picked up on eBay and some duct tape."Link to Original Source
