Microsoft presented their new console but it’s always the same old Microsoft.

Yahoo bought Tumblr and revamped flickr

RIAA should be allowed to crack into people’s computers and install virus and rootkits.

It’s not just the IRS, the FBI can read mail they find casually on their jurisdictions like gmail or facebook.

This was a weird week for USA justice.

A chilling report about how multi resistant bacteria is getting a foot hold and how the pharm industry isn’t doing anything about cause antibiotics are more expensive to develop than chronic condition management drugs.
