Slim Amamou, the Pirate Party member and freedom of speech activist who was arrested just a few days ago, is now the (deputy minister) State Secretary of Youth and Sports.

Amamou is a well-known blogger and activist in Tunisia and played an important role in the 'online' revolt against the former government.

A cancer survivor, Strecker had a mastectomy five years ago and now wears a prosthetic breast - which is made of gel.

When she pointed that out to security officers, Strecker said she was accused of lying when first asked about liquids and gels.

While in the full body scanner, Strecker said she was also told to raise her arms above her head, something she can no longer do.

Strecker's Calgarian daughter-in-law, Karin, said it was the lack of respect shown by security officials that was so upsetting.

Music is all around us, it's just that very few people actually listen to it.

Multitask all you want, but can you just focus on the music? Let it really get to you.

You might start to notice how good (or bad) your speakers or headphones really are. You might even start to prioritize some dollars toward better sound.

That's right... the complete source of Arx Fatalis is available for download. The complete list of changes in this patch confirms this to be the case (because the wording on the patch download page is a bit vague).

So... what will become of Arx Fatalis, now that its source is openly available? Who can say... but I, for one, intend to keep an eye on it.

Last Sunday, Sook Shin was carrying a possible cure for cancer on a small Apple computer with years worth of data.

Unfortunately, most of the data was never backed up, a mistake Shin said could be a major setback in the fight against cancer.

Unfortunately, the couple didn't record the computer's serial number. Police said that makes finding it nearly impossible.

David Pitchford, a Florida trailer park resident, names Assange and WikiLeaks as defendants in a personal injury suit filed with the Florida Southern District Court in Miami.

In the complaint filed on 6th January, Pitchford alleges that Assange's negligence has caused "hypertension", "depression" and "living in fear of being stricken by another heart attack and/or stroke" as a result of living "in fear of being on the brink of another nucliar [sic] WAR".

The court filing stipulates Pitchford's demand for $1.5 million in damages.

The credit union used by members of the U.S. armed forces and their families has admitted that a laptop infected with malware was used to access a database containing the personal and financial information of customers.

PenFed says it doesn't know of any efforts to misuse the stolen information, but the organization's connection to members of the military, Department of Defense and other U.S. government agencies may well raise the spectre of state-sponsored attack that may, or may not have a financial motive.

With Larry Ellison dangling the sword of Damocles over their heads, the leaders of the Hudson community have decided to rename the popular open-source software-build project and move it to a new code repository on GitHub.

"To continue using the name Hudson means ceding some of the project's independence to Oracle. If the project and its governance board opted to go in a direction Oracle disapproved of, Oracle would be able to take away the naming rights."

The community chose Jenkins because it "evokes the same sort of English butler feel as Hudson."

As the cost of 3D printing hardware begins to drop, bespoke, printable products may be about to hit the market.

One scheme that is looking to capitalise in the technology is RepRap, short for Replicating Rapid Prototyping, which offers a cheap way of replicating objects - including the printer itself.

And the software and hardware specifications are all open source - meaning the machine can be duplicated freely.

Vodafone has confirmed it believes its secure customer database has been breached by an employee or dealer who has shared the access password, revealing the personal details of millions of customers.

The details are reportedly accessible from any computer because they are kept on an internet site rather than Vodafone's internal system.

Mobile phone dealers have also admitted that anyone with full access to the system can look up a customer's bills and make changes to accounts.
