Is this Banksy at work?
This picture is believed to be the first showing Banksy at work.
The maverick street artist has kept the public guessing over his identity despite his creations now selling for six- figure sums to Hollywood stars such as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
Several photographs of the Bristol-born artist - real name thought to be Robert Banks - have emerged in recent years claiming to unmask him. But the latest appears to have caught Banksy creating one of his trademark murals on the side of a building in Bethnal Green.

Burmese monks begin fresh protests
More than 100 Buddhist monks marched and chanted in Burma today in the first public demonstration since the military junta crushed last month's anti-government protests, several monks said.
The monks in Pakokku made no political statements and shouted no slogans, but their march, which lasted nearly an hour, was in clear defiance of the government.

Bürger unter Generalverdacht
E-Mails, SMS, Telefonate - nichts soll künftig mehr privat bleiben. Die Bundesregierung will die Vorratsspeicherung von Verbindungsdaten aller Bürger per Gesetz ermöglichen. Kritiker befürchten eine verdachtlose Totalüberwachung für Deutschland und warnen: Schon heute würden heimlich die persönlichen Daten von Internetnutzern gesammelt.

Trent Reznor and Saul Williams Discuss Their New Collaboration, Mourn OiNK
Spoken-word and hip-hop artist Saul Williams toured with Nine Inch Nails last year, and Trent Reznor liked him so much that he decided to produce his new album. The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust!, a mind-boggling fusion of genres — think NIN meets Gnarls Barkley meets Justice, if you can do so without your head exploding — will be released tomorrow through Williams's Website as a free download (or you can chip in five bucks to support Saul). The two artists spoke with Vulture by phone from L.A. this afternoon, discussing the album's genesis, the imploding record industry, and how much they paid for the new Radiohead album.

Ionic wind heatsink
Inventgeek has a slick DIY heatsink project. It's completely silent, unlike the traditional CPU fan. With a $24 ion generator and a few items that you can pick up at the hardware store, the device is able to generate an ionic wind that pulls air through a traditional heatsink. The total cost is under $60, is completely silent, and puts tens of thousands of volts of static electricity an inch or two from your CPU.

Sex ban on the Airbus A380
The A380 may have the world’s first airborne double bed, but it won’t be put to the obvious use if Singapore Airlines has its way: “If couples used our double beds to engage in inappropriate activity, we would politely ask them to desist,” said the company’s Stephen Forshaw. “There are things that are acceptable on an aircraft and things that aren’t, and the rules for behaviour in our double beds are the same ones that apply throughout the aircraft.”
