Correct me if im wrong, but on Android you can't access the data stream from the camera before you have stopped recording and saved the file. It probably is a different story if you root your phone and do some hacking though. So you need to take the video and then wait for it to upload, before you start getting beaten.

It's my speculation that they gave him a proper muslim burial to show that they indeed are not wageing a war against muslims. From what i've read http://www.dn.se/nyheter/varlden/soldaten-kande-igen-bin-ladin-innan-han-skot (swedish) they asked several countries if they would accept the body but they all denied taking him, among others the saudies.

I've tried this in sweden with several carries and my asterisk. Not a single one will accept another CID than my phone number, except a blank one.

[I]Our vision of interconnectedness resonates with new networks of world citizens in nongovernmental organizations linking from numberless centers of energy, expressing the emergence of a new organic whole, seeking unity within and across national lines.

Submission + - IPv6 flaw could greatly amplify DDoS attacks

tygerstripes writes: The Register has a story about the discovery of a flaw in part of the IPv6 specification which has experts scrambling to have the feature removed, or at least disabled by default. From the article:

The specification, known as the Type 0 Routing Header (RH0), allows computers to tell IPv6 routers to send data by a specific route. Originally envisioned as a way to let mobile users to retain a single IP for their devices... RH0 support allows attackers to amplify denial-of-service attacks on IPv6 infrastructure by a factor of at least 80.
Paul Vixie, president of the Internet Systems Consortium, described the fault bluntly. "It can be exploited by any greedy Estonian teenager with a $300 Linux machine."

Submission + - Lawsuit Invokes DMCA to Force DRM Adoption

TechnicolourSquirrel writes: Forbes.com informs us that Media Rights Technologies is suing Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, and Real Networks for not using its DRM technology and therefore 'failing to include measures to control access to copyrighted material,' alleging that their refusal to use MRT's X1 Recording Control technology constitutes a 'circumvention' of a copyright protection system, which is of course illegal under the Digital Millenium Copryight Act.
