- America is rotting from the inside
  Posted by VincebusEruptum from Scholarsandrogues
  Politicians are failing to comprehend the breadth of the US infrastructure crisis. Only disasters move our representatives to act - and in an election year, even those actions seem spotty at best and disingenuous at worst. The United States has much more than failing bridges to find, fund and fix. A comprehensive report by Dr. Denny Wilkins.

- Microsoft device helps police pluck evidence from cyberscene of crime
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  I have mixed feelings about this. The Times plays up the positive crime-fighting side of this - but it will only be a matter of time before it falls into the wrong hands and is exploited by criminals or the government. No one should think that Apple won't build something like this for Mac's either.

- Pillaged MySpace Photos Show Up in Massive BitTorrent Download
  Posted by Jeff from Wired
  The creator of the file says he compiled the photos earlier this month using the MySpace security hole that Wired News reported on last week. That hole, still unacknowledged by the News Corporation-owned site, allowed voyeurs to peek inside the photo galleries of some MySpace users who had set their profiles to "private," despite MySpace's assurances that such images could only be seen by people on a user's friends' list.

- Online security and other e-tailing lies

Mercenary Outfit Send Mass Email Offering Positions in the Wake of Gustav

One of the many tragedies of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina three years ago was the fact that insurance companies used the event to systematically deny claims, leaving victims further in desperate straits. That shouldn’t happen following any natural disaster, and even though the immediate storm effects did not cause as much damage as predicted, there are sure to be plenty of claims for flood damages throughout the Midwest and along Gustav’s path. If you or someone you know has been denied an insurance claim related to Gustav: http://www.gustav-insurance-claim-denials.com/ that would be a site you should visit.
