Toyota Supra: It’s Happening, Probably. Maybe.

My heart, it doesn’t know what to believe anymore. Everyone – I mean, everyone – is looking forward to an all-new Supra. It’s understandable, as we haven’t seen a Supra on the market for a good while.

But there’s been a lot of back and forth regarding the new project. Will it or won’t it happen? According to some new reports, though— it will happen. Probably. Maybe. Eventually.

GM ordered 500,000 switches for defective cars months before recall

DETROIT (AP) -- Emails released in a court case show that General Motors Co. ordered a half-million replacement ignition switches nearly two months before telling the government that its small cars should be recalled because the switches were defective.

The emails, released Monday by Texas personal injury attorney Robert Hilliard, once again raise questions about what GM knew about the defective switches and when, and how forthcoming the company was both in congressional testimony and in a GM-funded investigation into its conduct by former U.S. Attorney Anton Valukas.

Ten Indian women die, dozens sick after mass sterilisation

Ten women have died in India and dozens more are in hospital, some in a critical condition, after a state-run programme that pays women to undergo sterilisation went badly wrong, officials said Tuesday.

Sterilisation is one of the most popular methods of family planning in India, where the government provides cash and other incentives to try to control the country's billion-plus population, but rights groups say the system is often abused.

More than 60 women fell ill after undergoing the surgery over the weekend in the central state of Chhattisgarh, and 10 have now died, local official Sonmani Borah told AFP.

Apple Just Fixed A Bug On iPhone That Put Undercover Cops At Risk

It sounds like an exaggeration, but it isn't: Apple's latest iPhone software fix will end a bizarre two-year period in which the iPhone's inability to reliably deliver texts to Android ruined a lot of people's lives.

It also created life-threatening risks for police officers in units whose members used a mixture of iPhone and Android phones, a police source tells Business Insider.

Apple did not respond to a request for comment.

It will come as a huge sigh of relief to the thousands — maybe millions — of former Apple customers who ditched their iPhones for Android.

Michigan Anti-Tesla Law 'Unnecessary Protectionism': AutoNation CEO

Never let it be said that AutoNation CEO Mike Jackson doesn't speak his mind.

His latest stunner came last week, when he deemed auto-dealer efforts to ban all direct sales by Tesla Motors state by state "unnecessary protectionism."

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder, and the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

In doing so, Jackson broke ranks with the vast array of auto-dealer organizations and lobbyists who have spent five years working to change state laws to require Tesla to sell its electric cars through independent third-party businesses, i.e. car dealerships.

A Chinese fisherman must have thought it was his lucky day recently when he hauled from the depths a gigantic tropical rock lobster.

'Did the gates of Hell open up in Moscow?' ask Russian noses

Moscow (AFP) - A foul odour enveloped the Russian capital throughout the day on Monday, with concerned Muscovites flooding authorities with complaints and officials scrambling to locate the source of the stench.

Predictably, wits in Moscow had a field day, with many joking that the gates of Hell opened up in the city of some 12 million.

Residents of Moscow began complaining early Monday of the "unpleasant smell of sulphur, hydrogen sulfide and oil products in the air," MosEcoMonitoring, an environment watchdog in Moscow, said in a statement.

Monster Energy Drinks Promote Satan, Viral Video Claims

So what's really behind the popularity of Monster Energy drinks? Could it be... Satan?

One woman seems to think so.

In a video that went viral on Facebook and YouTube over the weekend, the unidentified woman recites a series of conspiracy theories about the drink. Specifically, the notion that the "M" in the "Monster" logo is really made up of a Hebrew "6," repeated three times.

Yes, that would be "666."

Temper Tantrums: An Engineer's Guide for Handling Them

Lately I have noticed a lot of chatter going on about public tantrums. There seems to two schools of thoughts: “Those parents need to learn how to control their kids” and “Leave the poor parents alone. They are probably doing the best that they can.”

But those two schools of thought leave out two very important things. The first is that some people have a physical condition that makes the sound of a screaming toddler literally painful. And the second is that many people do not understand tantrums.

If you find the sound of a toddler screaming or a baby crying intensely upsetting, you may be one of millions of people who has a processing problem and is very sensitive to sound.  Shrill sounds, in particular, are painful to be around.

Putin's War Games Are Setting Off Alarms Worldwide

Russia’s military is engaging in “dangerous brinkmanship,” according to a new report documenting dozens of recent incidents in which Russian warplanes and ships have taken aggressive or provocative actions, often in locations far away from the fighting in Ukraine.

The report by the European Leadership Network, a London-based group including former European political and military leaders, says the actions, taken together, present a “highly disturbing picture.” According to the report, the incidents include “violations of national airspace, emergency scrambles, narrowly avoided mid-air collisions, close encounters at sea, simulated attack runs and other dangerous actions happening on a regular basis over a very wide geographical area.”

Google exec explains why Android got such a massive overhaul with Lollipop

Android 5.0 Lollipop is the biggest overhaul to Android since at least the release of Jelly Bean and might even be the biggest Android design overhaul ever. Business Insider has scored an interview with Hiroshi Lockheimer, who serves as Android’s vice president of engineering and who explains the reason that Google decided to give Android such an extreme makeover with Lollipop.

RELATED: It’s not just the gorgeous new look of Material Design that makes it great

In the first place, Lockheimer explains that Google has been planning to do a Material Design-like overhaul of Android for years now but he says that company had to make sure to take its time and get all the major design elements in place before making the switch.

'Shark Tank' Investor Daymond John Says Losing This Deal Was Like Getting Smacked Down On National TV

"Shark Tank"/ABC Daymond John was not happy when Ashley Drake decided to partner with Robert Herjavec.

The producers of ABC's hit show "Shark Tank" know how to edit the show for maximum dramatic effect, but that doesn't mean the intense battles between the investors for a hot company are fake.

We recently spoke with investor Daymond John, who said that losing out to  Robert Herjavec in the most recent episode for a deal with  fitness accessory company The Natural Grip got him riled up. 

"The deal was apparel-based, it was fitness-based, and Robert beat me out," John said. "So I'm sitting there saying to myself, 'Should I be mad at Robert or should I be mad at myself?' Because this is a natural layup for me. The person knows my expertise. What didn't I communicate to that person that made me lose the deal, or what did I say to that person that may have pissed them off?"

Calvin Klein's Idea of Plus Size Is Pissing People Off

Myla Dalbesio is a size 10. She’s smaller than the average woman — size 14 — but larger than a sample size. Because she doesn’t fit into a size 0 or 2, she has been called plus size, typically a size 12 and up. But looking at the 27-year-old model, who just debuted as the face of Calvin Klein’s “Perfectly Fit” campaign, she obviously doesn’t fit in with the skinny girls but she certainly isn’t shopping in the plus size section and her representing the category is perplexing to many people.  

Qualcomm Inside: Mobile Dominance No Matter the Manufacturer

The Verge takes a look at Qualcomm's dominance in the mobile sector. Every mobile headset manufacturer has relied on the venerable chipmaker for years but is that reliance at risk? The article takes a look at the possibility.

The company that was founded on the premise of building "Quality Communications" can now be found inside every major smartphone in the US. Even the fiercely independent Apple, which designs its own mobile processors, has no choice but to use Qualcomm’s LTE modems. The same is true of Samsung, whose Exynos chip is replaced by a Qualcomm Snapdragon for the US and other markets. But Qualcomm’s influence spreads much wider and deeper still.

Where Tech Activists Go To Escape The NSA - Germany?

If the NSA really wants to spy on you, do you think it would matter where you lived?

With its strict privacy laws, Germany is the refuge of choice for those hounded by the security services. Carole Cadwalladr visits Berlin to meet Laura Poitras, the director of Edward Snowden film Citizenfour, and a growing community of surveillance refuseniks.

Arctic snap will ice Northern states, whipped down by 'bomb cyclone' - Nov. 9, 2014

(CNN) -- The ice man cometh. And does so early this year, after a former Pacific typhoon flew up toward the Arctic and rammed the jet stream.The stream has whipped south, dragging down frigid air from Canada over the northern Plains and Mountain States and the Upper Midwest, according to the National Weather Service.It is already plunging temperatures below freezing there and will hammer them into the teens and single digits in many places by midweek, even lower in others.Great Falls, Montana, will shiver at 9 below zero on Tuesday night.It's the coldest weather of the season, the weather service said.

This Corvette is faster than Hellcat, Ferrari, McLaren

The 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 will come out of the box with a sub-3-second 0-60 time and sub-11-second quarter-mile time. That puts the approximately $80,000 Z06 on par with the outgoing $180,000 Lamborghini Gallardo, the $1.5 million Ferrari 599XX, the $1.2 million McLaren P1 and the $103,365 Nissan GT-R. Is it the deal of the century? Signs point to yes.

The 2.95-second sprint time comes courtesy of the company’s new eight-speed automatic transmission, which we tested a few weeks ago. The seven-speed manual can only achieve a sluglike 3.2 seconds.

Similarly, the 10.95-second quarter-mile time is only achievable with the eight-speed auto; manual rowers get 11.2, which is the same time as the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. Chevy says both quarter miles end with a speed of 127 mph.

Cover your legal bases before a home improvement project

We’ve all heard horror stories about home improvement projects gone wrong. In fact, many of us have likely lived through renovations and the headaches they can entail, including delays, shoddy work, unacceptable messes and fights with contractors.

For most people, buying a home is the biggest financial investment they’ll ever make, and, understandably, homeowners want to keep their dream home feeling as fresh as the day they got the keys. But before you embark on a project to update your kitchen, spruce up your bathroom or switch out the paint and trim, it’s important to understand the legal issues you may encounter with a home improvement project.

Is a contract really necessary?

The simple answer is yes. Legal advisers strongly suggest homeowners sign a contract with any contractors that, at the very least, outlines the following:

A 27-year-old millionaire reveals how he built his wealth

Anton Ivanov isn’t your average millionaire.

For starters, he’s barely 27 years old, he doesn’t work in Silicon Valley and he isn’t heir to a family fortune. He doesn’t live in a tiny house or get his food from a compost garden in his backyard, either.

Ivanov, who shares wealth-building tips on his blog, Financessful.com, made his million the old-fashioned way: He read books. He saved early and often. And he started planning his rise to millionaire status before most kids his age had their driver’s license.

“I’m a testament that if you want something bad enough and you keep working towards it ... you will get to where you want to go,” he says. "It was my habits and my principles that made me rich." 

Here’s how he did it.

Dad confronts kidnapper, saves 5-year-old daughter

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A set of Utah parents were awakened Friday to an unsettling noise for 4:30 in the morning: the sound of their front door opening and their 5-year-old daughter talking.

When the father rushed outside in his pajama pants and hoodie he saw the terrifying sight of his 5-year-old stepdaughter in the arms of a stranger who was carrying her away across the front lawn. The man had snatched the girl out of her bed in the basement moments earlier after coming in the house through an unlocked door, police said.

The father confronted the man, demanding that he give the girl back. Without a fight, the intruder handed her over, and then fled the scene.

"There was a man in my home and he took my 5-year-old daughter," said the mother, crying, in a 911 call moments later. "I happened to wake up and he had my daughter outside. My husband ran out there and got her from him. But he took my daughter."

Home Depot says about 53 million email addresses stolen in breach

(Reuters) - Home Depot Inc (HD.N), the world's largest home improvement chain, said about 53 million email addresses were stolen during a recent breach of its payment data systems, in addition to some 56 million payment cards previously disclosed by the retailer.

The company, which confirmed the theft in September, said the stolen files that contained the email addresses did not include passwords, payment card information or other sensitive personal information.

Takata executives ordered technicians to ERASE air bag test results!!!

TOKYO (Reuters) - Takata Corp, the Japanese auto parts maker at the center of a global vehicle recall, ordered its technicians to destroy results of tests on some of its air bags after finding cracks in air bag inflators, the New York Times said on Friday.

Citing two former Takata employees, the newspaper said Takata retrieved 50 airbags from scrap yards for tests not long after the accident. Instead of alerting U.S. federal safety regulators to the possible danger, Takata executives ordered the technicians to destroy the test data, the paper said.The tests were carried out on the inflators - steel canisters that contain an explosive used to inflate the bags in a collision - after an accident in 2004 when an inflator in a Honda Accord exploded, ejecting metal fragments and injuring the driver, it said.

Takata had no immediate comment on the report, which sent the company's shares down as much as 4.7 percent.

Obama authorizes 1,500 more troops for Iraq - Nov. 2014

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama authorized on Friday a broad expansion of the U.S. military mission in Iraq that could boost the total number of American troops there to 3,100 and spread advisory teams and trainers across the country, including into Anbar province where fighting with Islamic State militants has been fierce.

Obama authorized the Pentagon to send up to 1,500 more troops to Iraq, adding to the 1,600 previously allowed. There are currently about 1,400 there.The president's decision to escalate the U.S. effort in Iraq comes just three days after midterm elections that were bruising for Democrats and amid persistent arguments that more U.S. troops are needed to bolster the struggling Iraqi forces. In particular, the Iraqi government, members of Congress and others have called for troops in Anbar in western Iraq, where extremists have been slaughtering men, women and children.

The plans are all contingent on Congress approving his nearly $5.6 billion request to fund the expanded mission. The troops will not be able to deploy until legislation passes and the president signs it.

Mental Modems May Be In Our Future

Researchers at the University of Washington successfully transmitted brain signals over the Internet. They hope to be able to develop technology to transmit more complex information from one brain to another. Better keep those thoughts clean, research team!

Using a special skull cap outfitted with electrodes, scientists were able to take the thoughts from one person's brain and redirect them into another's, enabling one study participant to control the hand motions of a person situated in another room in another building.

Massive Takata Airbag Recall: Everything You Need to Know, Including Full List of Affected Vehicles

The automotive world and beyond is buzzing about the massive airbag recall covering many millions of vehicles in the U.S. from nearly two dozen brands. Here’s what you need to know about the problem; which vehicles may have the defective, shrapnel-shooting inflator parts from Japanese supplier Takata; and what to do if your vehicle is one of them.

* SCROLL TO BOTTOM FOR FULL LIST OF AFFECTED VEHICLES *

The issue involves defective inflator and propellent devices that may deploy improperly in the event of a crash, shooting metal fragments into vehicle occupants. More than 7 million vehicles are potentially affected in the United States.

Could a New Mitsubishi 3000GT Save the Brand?

Mitsubishi’s struggles are well-documented. But a rebirth of the 3000GT could possibly renew interest in the besieged brand.

I’m not crazy enough to suggest a new 3000GT that’s done well would be an instant sales booster— the rest of the lineup would need to be good, too, especially since a two-door sports coupe with high-end pricing wouldn’t sell in volume numbers. But it is an interesting idea, to say the least.

Nurse who fought Maine Ebola quarantine moving out of state

(Reuters) - A nurse who treated Ebola patients in West Africa and publicly fought quarantine orders in New Jersey and Maine after returning to the United States last month has decided to move away from her home state, a newspaper in Maine reported.

Wilbur did not say where the couple planned to move. "We’re going to try to get our lives back on track," he told the newspaper on Friday.Kaci Hickox and her boyfriend, Ted Wilbur, plan to leave Maine after Nov. 10, or the expiration of the monitoring period for the virus' 21-day incubation, according to the Press Herald newspaper.

Wilbur and Hickox could not immediately be reached for comment.

Unsealed GT Advanced Court Documents Give Insight Into Apple's Business Practices

Though Apple and GT Advanced fought to keep documents related to their sapphire agreement sealed after GT's bankruptcy filing, a judge recently ruled that the documents did not contain trade secrets and would be largely unsealed. 

One of those documents, an unedited affidavit from GT Advanced COO Daniel Squiller, gave insight into the terms of the deal between the two companies, but another, the original privacy agreement that GT Advanced signed, gives a rare look into how Apple does business with its suppliers. 

According to the documents, Apple and GT's sapphire deal was known internally as "Project Onyx," and was subject to strict confidentiality agreements. GT employees were forbidden from referring to Apple or the project by anything other than code names, and they were also required to undergo training regarding confidentiality and security in addition to signing extensive non-disclosure agreements. Only employees who needed to know about the project were given information, in order to keep the deal as quiet as possible. 

SEC Investigating GT Advanced's Trading Activity

It appears the United States Securities and Exchange Commission has launched an inquiry into GT Advanced's trading activity, according to a new filing released today. 

The SEC sent a letter to GT Advanced on October 15, letting the company know that it was seeking "certain information regarding trading activity in the Company's securities," along with more information on its sapphire business and securities offering dating back to January 1, 2013. 

Shortly after GT Advanced filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, it became clear that GT's CEO Thomas Gutierrez and COO Daniel Squiller had been selling off large amounts of stock, with some of the plans put in place just after production troubles surfaced in February 2014. 

GT Advanced COO: Apple Told Us 'Put On Your Big Boy Pants and Accept the Agreement'

Apple and GT Advanced fought to keep key documents related to their sapphire agreement out of the public eye after the latter company filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection, but earlier this week, a judge ruled that the documents did not contain trade secrets or confidential information, and would thus be largely unsealed. 

As of today, those previously sealed documents are now available for public inspection, including an unedited affidavit [PDF] from GT Advanced COO Daniel Squiller. Squillersubmitted a revised affidavit on October 28, which gave some insight into the deal between Apple and GT Advanced, but the newly available unedited version expresses much stronger negative feelings towards the partnership and places more of the blame for GT's failure on Apple. 

How to Lock Down Your Personal Internet of Things

With the earlier article I posted about vulnerable security cameras, maybe you're thinking about securing your thermostat, house lock, and refrigerator. Gizmodo has a decent how-to article on locking down our internet-enabled gadgets. Known as IoT or "Internet of Things", this is one of the hot areas in the business space since proper deployment of these devices can simplify operational concerns. With popularity comes those that want to exploit it, regardless of legality.

Our houses are quickly filling with an internet of things—smart TVs, DVRs, thermostats, and more all online, all the time. But to a hacker, each of these devices is a digital door or window into your home (network). Here's what you need to do to keep your devices locked against outside intrusions.

49% of Moms Are Breadwinners

Women still only earn $0.78 for every dollar a man makes in the United States, but nearly half of all U.S. mothers are either the primary breadwinner or “on par financially with their significant other,” according to the new study “The Breadwinner PheMOMenon.” This is a significant leap from just last year, when only 40 percent of working moms were the major earner in their household, according to the Pew Research Center. “I was really surprised at the pace of how this is happening,” Kelley Skoloda, partner and director of Ketchum’s Global Brand Marketing Practice, tells Yahoo Parenting. “But the research says that our perception of ourselves and our lives hasn’t caught up with the tremendous and rapid progress we are making.”

Which Electric-Car Makers Are Serious? U.S. Sales Show Top Three

Two years ago, we pointed out that several electric cars now on sale were purely "compliance cars," built in minimal numbers purely to comply with California rules that require sales of zero-emission vehicles.

But almost four years after the first Nissan Leaf went on sale in December 2010, it's become pretty clear which carmakers are serious about plug-in electric cars--and which aren't.

We looked at U.S. sales of all cars with a plug--whether battery-electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles--for the 10 months of this year, and calculated what percentage of a carmaker's total sales they represented.

Remains found of missing Fox movie executive

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The remains of a 20th Century Fox executive who disappeared more than two years ago have been found in a rural desert area of Southern California, authorities said.

Lt. Larry Dietz of the Los Angeles County coroner's office confirmed early Thursday that the remains of Gavin Smith have been positively identified.

Smith, 57, was last seen May 1, 2012, in Ventura County's Oak Park neighborhood after leaving a friend's home, and his disappearance has been investigated as a murder.

Hikers discovered the remains near Palmdale in the Antelope Valley on Oct. 26, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's office said in a statement.

McLaren’s Baby Sportscar will be Called Sports Series

No, really. McLaren decided to ditch its numerical naming scheme in place of something worse. I don’t get it either— but like it or not, the new Sports Series will be here sometime next year, and it’s probably still going to be pretty good.

Busted myth: E46 weighs more than E36

For some reason there is a belief because E46 is bigger that it weighs about 200 pounds more than E36, therefor drag and track racing people tend to look for a E36 project. 
Fact is stock to stock E46 weights about the same as E36. 

Bungie Executive Swatted

So a Bungie executive got swatted this week and the detectives on the case believe that it could be a contractor at Bungie or someone with ties to the video game community? Obviously they've never played Destiny, everyone stuck at level 29 right now is a potential suspect.

Turns out, there was no hostage situation - just a family sleeping inside. The home belongs to a high-up executive at Bungie, the Bellevue-based video game developers behind "Halo," "Destiny," and more. It took polic

Mark Zuckerberg Likes Hard Questions

Mark Zuckerberg sounds more and more like a politician every time he opens his mouth. When asked why Facebook forced people to download the standalone Messenger app, this is what he said:

I'm grateful for hard questions. It keeps us honest. We need to be able to explain clearly why what we're thinking is good. Asking everyone in our community to install a new app is a big ask. I appreciate that that was work and required friction. We wanted to do this because we believe that this is a better experience.

Corsair Graphite 780T Full-Tower Case

The Corsair Graphite 780T full-tower case is on the test bench at Overclockers Club today. For comparison purposes, you can see our evaluation here.

First up, having support for every aftermarket CPU cooler is a major advantage. When I say every single one, it's because nothing has topped 200mm yet and that would just be purely insane. I have time and time again given advice for purchasing a cooler, only to find out that a height limit is an issue. At 200mm and a good amount of surrounding space, there isn't much that will not fit.

Drone Saves Window Washer

It turns out drones can be used for more than wedding videos,champagne delivery, and Martha Stewart’s amusement. 

On Tuesday, a window washer in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, was 10 floors up the side of a skyscraper when his lift malfunctioned. As the English news blog 7 Days in Dubai reports, police were called to the scene and deployed a drone to help him.

Next iPhone Rumored to Carry Glasses-free 3D Display

Taiwanese media website Economic Daily News [Google Translate] (via GforGames) is reporting that Apple may be gearing up to introduce a glasses-free 3D display on next year's iPhone. The site also reports that Apple is aiming to create a 3D "hardware and software ecosystem." 

Economic Daily News also mentions that this "naked eye 3D screen" could not be built using the current embedded touch technology Apple has used since the launch of the iPhone 5. The site claims Apple would once again seek the help of touch screen manufacturer TPK to assist in the development of the next generation of iPhone. 

Researchers Discover New 'WireLurker' Malware Affecting Macs and iOS Devices in China [Updated]

Researchers from Palo Alto Networks (via The New York Times) have published a research paper on WireLurker, a malware new family that's been infecting both Mac OS and iOS systems over the course of the past six months. The researchers say that WireLurker, which is targeting users in China, "heralds a new era in malware attacking Apple's desktop and mobile platforms." 

The WireLurker malware is the "biggest in scale" in the trojanized malware family, and it is able to attack iOS devices through OS X using USB. It's said to be able to infect iOS applications similar to a traditional virus, and it is the first malware capable of installing third-party applications on non-jailbroken iOS devices "through enterprise provisioning." 

Thus far, WireLurker has been used in 467 OS X apps in the Maiyadi App Store, which is a third-party Mac app store in China. The apps have been downloaded 356,104 times, infecting hundreds of thousands of users. 

Ferguson mayor sees possible protests in region when grand jury decides

(CNN) -- Tensions in Ferguson, Missouri, have simmered since black teen Michael Brown was shot and killed by a white police officer in August.
And with a grand jury expected to soon deliver its decision on whether to indict the officer, a group that represents protesters says it wants 48-hours notice before the decision is announced so it can help prevent the St. Louis suburb from once again boiling over with anger, violence and confusion.
A group of community members calling themselves the Don't Shoot Coalition this week released 19 "Rules of Engagement" that touch on major points of contention between protesters and police since Brown's August 9 killing.
Witnesses said Brown, who was unarmed, had his hands in the air as if surrendering, when he was shot. Authorities said Brown attacked the officer.

'Prepare for the worst'
Ferguson Mayor James Knowles told local media this week that authorities must "prepare for the worst" and he expects demonstrations across the area.

China factory whirs overtime to make Ebola suits

ANQUI, China (AP) — Far from the Ebola hot zone, the sewing and gluing machines at a factory in China have been whirring more than usual to produce crucial yellow suits that protect the front-line medics more than 11,000 kilometers (7,000 miles) away in West Africa.

The Weifang Lakeland Safety Products factory in the eastern Shandong province city of Anqui has 100 workers assembling the now-familiar plastic suits at a rate of about 6,000 per day. The factory plans to double its capacity by January.

Each is carefully put together by people and machines so that it is completely sealed, because any gap could allow exposure to a deadly illness. Each seam is sewn and then reinforced with a glue strip.

Company Shoots Porn Using A Drone - DroneBoning.com

It was just a matter of time before someone shot a porn with a drone. The link I just posted is safe for work but there are links from the article that aren't.

Here's the deal: if a device has a camera, it will be used to shoot porn. No exceptions -- not even if that device is a drone. Brooklyn film company Ghost+Cow shot a project called, erm, Drone Boning, using only unmanned aerial vehicles. Despite the name, the film really is quite artistic and focuses more on the landscape than on the porn itself.

Michigan Home for Sale With 2,300-Piece Hidden Pipe Organ

If you are in the market for a small home on an old city street with a 2,300-piece pipe organ hidden inside, then a Michigan real estate agent has the home for you.

Mark Douglas is selling the home of the late Bill Tufts, an auto mechanic who could not play the organ himself but fulfilled his lifelong dream of having a cathedral-worthy pipe organ installed in his Grand Rapids, Mich., home.

Facebook Sees 24% Uptick In Government Requests For User Data

Facebook, the leading provider of evidence against yourself since 2004.

According to Facebook's latest transparency report published on Tuesday, the Menlo Park, Calif.-based company received 34,946 requests for data during the first six months of 2014. That translates to a 24 percent uptick from the second half of 2013, nearly matched by a 19 percent increase in the amount of content restricted due to local laws where Facebook operates.

UFO photobombs the ISS, NASA cuts live feed (Video)

An incredible UFO video, uploaded to YouTube on Nov. 3, shows a massive, unidentified flying object approaching unusually close to the International Space Station (ISS) as the live NASA camera feed rolls. After a moment, the UFO, which appears to go dark, fades from view just before the camera feed is cut off. It doesn't seem this floating object was known to be near the space station, otherwise the ISS would have been steered away from such a dangerous hazard. So, if NASA was unaware of such an anomaly, what is it?

UFO Globe 2 @YouTube

The amazing video is split into two segments. The first shows the UFO stealthily approaching the ISS, growing in brightness all the while. That's not unusual, as the space station itself is brilliantly lit by the Sun. But, as the object draws closer (and suddenly stops its forward motion completely) it begins to darken and fade, as though switching off exterior lights. As it goes completely dark, the live camera feed catching the action is cut, with just a video slate showing and asking viewers to stand by until the live feed can be re-established.
