Submission + - Google Glass is Dead, Long Live Google Glass
DumbSwede writes: BBC reports on the demise of Google Glass as we know it:
Google Glass sales halted but firm says kit is not dead
One can only assume there will be dissatisfied early adopters and developers given Google's decision. Here is to hoping Google Glass 2.0 (assuming there is one) will be better received.

DDG doesn't retain your search history, but your ISP will. Your ISP also retains other browsing history, besides just search. Using a VPN located outside Australia is probably the best solution, if you can afford it.

I use DKIM and DMARC on the email from my domain, so I have some experience. The benefit of DKIM (and SPF) is that the email I send does not automatically get mis-identified as spam. Before implementation, it was. Later I discovered that some spammers were forging the headers in their email to indicate that they were sent from my domain, so I implemented DMARC to see if that would stop it. DMARC is hard to set up and it has problems. Not many email hosts support it, so it is not very useful either. Some of the problems are 1) if you send an email to someone that has an automatic forward to another email account, the signature breaks and the email is rejected at the second account; 2) sending email directly from some applications (Evernote used to be an example) causes the signature to fail and the message will be marked as spam; 3) sending email from your phone will sometimes fail the signature check; 4) newsletters, e.g.Constant Contact, that use your domain as the from address will often fail the signature without special coordination with the provider.
Submission + - NSA Declares War on President (yahoo.com)
pupsocket writes: U. S. citizens can stop pretending that their secret agencies exist to provide deniability to the President. Yesterday the German newspaper of record, Frankfurter Allgemeine, reported that the President told German Chancellor Merkel that he would have stopped the tap on her phone had he known about it. Today, another German paper, Bild am Sonntag, quoted U. S. Intelligence sources that the President had been briefed in 2010. This violation of secrecy should end the myth that the White House tells the secret agencies what they can and cannot do. Sounds like blackmail, the endgame.
Submission + - Federal Prosecutors, in a Policy Shift, Cite Warrantless Wiretaps as Evidence (nytimes.com)
schwit1 writes: The Justice Department for the first time has notified a criminal defendant that evidence being used against him came from a warrantless wiretap, a move that is expected to set up a Supreme Court test of whether such eavesdropping is constitutional.
The government’s notice allows the defendant's lawyer to ask a court to suppress the evidence by arguing that it derived from unconstitutional surveillance, setting in motion judicial review of the eavesdropping.

According to Fast Facts About Caffeine
I have to agree with the others, take an asprin and drink lots of waterCaffeine causes changes in the chemicals of your brain, mainly in 2 ways. It mimics adenosine, and binds to all the adenosine receptors in your brain. This prevents the real adenosine from doing its job, which happens to be the slowing down of nerve impulses and the causing of drowsiness. So your brain becomes more alert. Caffeine also increases the levels of dopamine in your brain, which improves your feeling of well-being and improves your mood. It's this dopamine effect that is the root of caffeine's addictive properties
