Wikileaks
Wikileaks is developing an uncensorable Wikipedia for untraceable mass document leaking and analysis. Our primary interest is in exposing oppressive regimes in Asia, the former Soviet bloc, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, but we also expect to be of assistance to people of all regions who wish to reveal unethical behavior in their governments and corporations. We aim for maximum political impact. Our interface is identical to Wikipedia and usable by all types of people. We have received over 1.2 million documents so far from dissident communities and anonymous sources.

If the radiation and cancer were not enough, aul Saffo, a technology trend forecaster in Silicon Valley claims that sending text messages lowers your IQ - 10 points to be precise.
"The act of texting automatically removes 10 I.Q. points. “The truth of the matter is there are hobbies that are incompatible. You don’t want to do mushroom-hunting and bird-watching at the same time, and it is the same with texting and other activities. We have all seen people walk into parking meters or walk into traffic and seem startled by oncoming cars.”

Law Librarian Blog: TinEye Image Search Engine
Law Librarian Blog: TinEye Image Search Engine: "TinEye Image Search Engine
Developed by Idee, the TinEye search engine allows users to search by uploading a picture rather than typing in a keyword. The SE then conducts a pixel by pixel search across the Internet, flagging all instances of that image even if it's been cropped, merged or digitally altered in some way. SE Uses, copyright enforcement of course, but TinEye can also be used to identify image creators and publishers to provide attribution.
The SE will be coming out of private beta this month but in the meantime, you can read the TinEye FAQ and this PC Pro article, Visual search engine is photographer's best friend. Hat tip to Slashdot. [JH]"
