Russia The First to Use the Pain Ray?
Who cares if Russia ends up being the first country to use a high-tech pain ray for crowd control? The USA still has the most potent pain-inducing weapon ever used on the general population...taxes.
Russia's Defense Ministry is testing a new nonlethal ray gun for use on protesters, which looks like a close facsimile of the American system in development. The difference could be that the Russians are willing to use it.

MPAA / RIAA Ponder Suing Persistent Pirates
As much as I want to rip on the RIAA/MPAA over this, it's pretty hard to considering they will be going after people that have exhausted their first SIX STRIKES!
In the coming months U.S. Internet providers will begin to warn and punish copyright infringers. Since the "six strikes" plan was announced, a lot has been said about the temporary disconnections and throttled connections subscribers might be subjected to. But there is an even scarier outlook for persistent BitTorrent pirates, as the MPAA and RIAA have negotiated the right to demand the details of repeat infringers should they decide to take legal action.

Ecuador Says WikiLeaks Founder Seeking Asylum
At first if you don't succeed, appeal, appeal again, appeal some more, last minute appeal....then hide out in the Ecuadorian Embassy in the UK. Heh, this guy is a never-ending source of entertainment.
WikiLeaks chief Julian Assange has taken refuge in the South American nation's embassy in London and is seeking political asylum. Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino said Ecuador is weighing the request. The move comes less than a week after Britain's Supreme Court rejected Assange's bid to reopen his attempts to block extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning after two women accused him of sexual misconduct during a visit to the country in mid-2010. He denies the allegations.

The NSA "Protecting Your Privacy" Quote of the Day
When asked for information on how many U.S. citizens have been spied on, the NSA refused to divulge the information because it would violate YOUR privacy. Thank you NSA, for protecting our rights! (pleasedontblackbagmeandwiskmeawaytoanundisclosedlocation)
The surveillance experts at the National Security Agency won't tell two powerful United States Senators how many Americans have had their communications picked up by the agency as part of its sweeping new counterterrorism powers. The reason: it would violate your privacy to say so.
