New Scientist Technology - Pentagon sets its sights on social networking websites
Why does this surprise anybody? In meatspace if you leave your door unlocked and open the cops can come right in. It's called "plain sight". If you publish information all over the inter-web it's public, plain-sight. So use some common sense people!
Privacy groups worry that "automated intelligence profiling" could sully people's reputations or even lead to miscarriages of justice - especially since the data from social networking sites may often be inaccurate, untrue or incomplete, De Roure warns.
But Tim Finin, a colleague of Joshi's, thinks the spread of such technology is unstoppable. "Information is getting easier to merge, fuse and draw inferences from. There is money to be made and control to be gained in doing so. And I don't see much that will stop it," he says.

My Frugal Life - "I longed for a simpler lifestyle."
My Frugal Life - "I longed for a simpler lifestyle."
Nice little essay from middle America on achieving a more finacially sustainable lifestyle.
I realized that every bit of information I needed to acquire on a simpler, more frugal lifestyle could probably be found on the internet. (You will be amazed at the wealth of information to be found on the internet, and how much you can learn to make a simpler, more frugal lifestyle a reality for your family. I am not talking about an austere lifestyle - just one that is more satisfying, more fulfilling, and not necessarily based on how much money you can spend to achieve your goals.)

Wired News: Scroll May Hold Religious Insight
Wired News: Scroll May Hold Religious Insight
ATHENS, Greece -- A collection of charred scraps kept in a Greek museum's storerooms are all that remains of what archaeologists say is Europe's oldest surviving book -- which may hold a key to understanding early monotheistic beliefs.
Now this is almost as cool as the Gospel of Judas.
