+ - Ohio valley mall security VS people taking pictures->

Submitted by schwit1
schwit1 writes "This Ohio Valley Mall "Security Officer" tries to get people to stop taking pictures and leave the property. When they don't listen to her request, she starts making threats about "pressing charges" and taking their cameras away. She then goes a step further and attacks one of the people, ending up on the ground."

+ - Charge your cellphone in 20 seconds->

Submitted by GoJays
GoJays writes "An 18 year old from Saratoga California has won an international science fair for creating an energy storage device that can be fully juiced in 20 to 30 seconds.
The fast-charging device is a so-called supercapacitor, a gizmo that can pack a lot of energy into a tiny space, charges quickly and holds its charge for a long time.
What's more, it can last for 10,000 charge-recharge cycles, compared with 1,000 cycles for conventional rechargeable batteries, according to the inventor Eesha Khare."

+ - Federal Appeals Court Says Police Can't Search Cell Phone Without Warrant->

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes "In a decision that's almost certainly going to result in this issue heading up to the Supreme Court, the Federal 1st Circuit Court of Appeals today ruled that police can't search your phone when they arrest you without a warrant. That's contrary to most courts' previous findings in these kinds of cases where judges have allowed warantless searches through cell phones."

+ - North Carolina May Ban Tesla Sales To Prevent "Unfair Competition"-> 7

Submitted by nametaken
nametaken writes "From the state that brought you the nation’s first ban on climate science comes another legislative gem: a bill that would prohibit automakers from selling their cars in the state.

The proposal, which the Raleigh News & Observer reports was unanimously approved by the state’s Senate Commerce Committee on Thursday, would apply to all car manufacturers, but the intended target is clear. It’s aimed at Tesla, the only U.S. automaker whose business model relies on selling cars directly to consumers, rather than through a network of third-party dealerships.

[The article adds] it’s easy to understand why some car dealers might feel a little threatened: Tesla’s Model S outsold the Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series, and Audi A8 last quarter without any help from them. If its business model were to catch on, consumers might find that they don’t need the middle-men as much as they thought."

Submitted by He Who Has No Name
He Who Has No Name writes "While the ATF appears to have no open objection to 3D printed firearms at this time, the Department of Defense apparently does. A short while ago, "#DEFCAD has gone dark at the request of the Department of Defense Trade Controls. Take it up with the Secretary of State" appeared on the group's site, and download links for files hosted there began to give users popups warning of the DoD takeover."
