Claiming public safety benefits, the National Association of Broadcasters is proposing a new federal law that would force manufacturers to implant FM tuners in all mobile phones.

What Wharton didn't add, probably because it was obvious enough, is that giving radio stations a way to expand their audience--as more Americans turn to the Internet for news and iPods for music--also could yield a welcome increase in audience and revenue.

2007, 2008, and 2009 all set new historic highs for movie theater revenue in the US and Canada, and 2010 looks poised to do even bigger business.

"Theater owners have gotten away with the biggest year-to-year increases in ticket prices ever," says Hollywood-focused publication The Wrap, "with average admission costs spiraling upward more than 40 cents in 2010, or over 5 percent."

When Apple's sultan of spin Steve Jobs proudly proclaimed that the Iphone 4 would come with adverts that did not "suck", delivered through the company's Iad software, fanbois everywhere starting foaming at the mouth at the prospect of having yet more propaganda to happily swallow.

Jobs offered up the enticing prospect of advertisers taking over the whole device, with fanbois taken into a world of mesmerising glitz and marketing fluff, if they weren't there already.

The two sides can agree on this: Congress should mandate that FM radio receivers be built into cell phones, PDAs, and other portable electronics.

"Rather than adapt to the digital marketplace, NAB and RIAA act like buggy-whip industries that refuse to innovate and seek to impose penalties on those that do."

The two sides hope to strike a grand bargain: radio would agree to pay around $100 million a year (less than it feared), but in return it would get access to a larger market through the mandated FM radio chips in portable devices.

Irv Gordon has some advice for keeping your car running forever: Follow the factory service manual, replace worn or broken parts immediately and don't let anyone else drive your car.

Those simple rules have allowed Gordon to rack up a record-setting 2.8 million miles on his beloved Volvo P1800.

In all the years Gordon's been driving the P1800, the engine has been rebuilt just twice. The first came after 680,000 miles, when Gordon insisted on a complete teardown even though the dealer said it wasn't needed.

Exploiting bugs in two different ATM machines, the researcher from IOActive was able to get them to spit out money on demand and record sensitive data from the cards of people who used them.

After experimenting with his own machines, Jack developed a way of bypassing the remote authentication system and installing a homemade rootkit, named Scrooge, that lets him override the machine's firmware.

The machines Jack hacked were, however, based on Microsoft's Windows CE operating system.

The document - from May 30, 2007 - claims that insurgents shot down a Chinook transport helicopter over Helmand Province with a surface-to-air missile, or SAM. But a spokesman for the NATO command in Afghanistan, U.S. Army Col. Wayne Shanks, tells Danger Room, "We have no reports of any aircraft being damaged by SAMs."

Easily fired by infantry or a guy on a flatbed truck, MANPADs are capable of locking on to the heat generated by an aircraft within distances of around 6 miles, meaning that helicopters and low-flying fixed-wing aircraft are vulnerable - as are all aircraft at takeoff and landing.

BP's chief executive Tony Hayward has been negotiating the terms of his exit, with a formal announcement likely within 24 hours, the BBC has learned.

BP is due to release its results for the second quarter on Tuesday. It is expected to reveal a provision of up to $30bn (£19bn) for the costs of the clean-up, compensation claims and fines to be paid, resulting in a massive quarterly loss. It has also lost 40% of its market capitalisation.

This week it came to light that BP had photoshopped—poorly—an official image of their crisis command center. Apparently, that wasn't an isolated incident.

The photo, sent in by a tipster and entitled "View of the MC 252 site from the cockpit of a PHI S-92 helicopter 26 June 2010," shows up here, a section of BP's website that hopes to explain their response effort through pictures.

It speaks to a company still more concerned with image than reality, in charge of repairing something so terribly broken that we can't afford to treat it with anything but total candor.

Lohan's prison mugshot yesterday. Pic: Los Angeles County Sheriff's DepartmentLohan was greeted yesterday at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, by "the screams of lesbian gangs desperate to get a piece of her".

If the diet doesn't kill Lohan, life in the segregation unit seemingly will. In it are caged some of the prison's most serious offenders, ruled by the hardest screws.
