Raspberry Pi - An ARM GNU/Linux box for $25. Take a byte!
While the developers behind the project are hoping to see Raspberry Pi systems used in educational settings or other environments where low price and power consumption could be killer features. But the applications for this device aren’t limited to education. This weekend the group is showing off a Raspberry Pi system running XBMC, a powerful media center application.

Air Force Says Iran Didn't Down Drone
The U.S. Air Force recently announced that it knew what had caused one of its RQ-170 UAVs to crash in Iran two months ago. But the air force would not reveal details, except to say that Iran had nothing to do with the UAV crash landing. The air force did say that, because they had figured out what brought the RQ-170 down, they were continuing to fly RQ-170s on reconnaissance missions. The air force also revealed that the RQ-170 lost in Iran was being operated by the CIA.
The RQ-170 first showed up in Afghanistan and South Korea two years ago. The U.S. Air Force then admitted that this was a high altitude reconnaissance UAV developed in secret by Lockheed-Martin during the previous decade. It has a 12 meter (40 foot) wingspan. The RQ-170 is believed to be a replacement for some of the U-2s and a supplemental aircraft for the larger Global Hawk (which has a 42 meter wingspan.) RQ-170s have been operating over Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran for at least a year.

60 neue Eurofighter für Griechenland
Den Wunschzettel des griechischen Verteidigungsministeriums hat der Mann im Kopf: bis zu 60 Kampfflugzeuge vom Typ Eurofighter für vielleicht 3,9 Milliarden Euro. Französische Fregatten für über vier Milliarden, Patrouillenboote für 400 Millionen Euro; ebenso viel kostet die nötige Modernisierung der existierenden griechischen Flotte. Dann fehle es noch an Munition für die Leopard-Panzer, außerdem müssten zwei amerikanische Apache-Hubschrauber ersetzt werden. Ach ja, und dann würde man gerne deutsche U-Boote kaufen, Gesamtpreis: zwei Milliarden Euro.

Man faces five years for ‘God does not exist’ Facebook post
31-year-old Alexander Aan faces a maximum prison sentence of five years for posting “God does not exist” on Facebook. The civil servant was attacked and beaten by an angry mob of dozens who entered his government office at the Dharmasraya Development Planning Board on Wednesday. The Indonesian man was taken into protective police custody Friday since he was afraid of further physical assault.
The posting was made on a Facebook Page titled Ateis Minang (Minang Atheist), which Aan created. At the time of writing, it had over 1,700 Likes. Aan’s posting has been removed, but supporters on the Page are urging police to release him.

Police visit hero's house to give him an award...and sniff out cannabis farm
TWO police officers arrested a man for growing cannabis - moments after telling him he had won an award from their chief constable.
Adrian Mailer, 33, was hand-picked to get a commendation from Tayside Police boss Justine Curran for giving first aid to a nine-year-old boy who was injured in an accident.
But when officers went to his home to deliver the good news, they caught a whiff of Mailer's dope farm and arrested him.

Lebensmittelverschwendung - Her mit den krummen Gurken!
Lebensmittel gibt es in Deutschland im Überfluss: Millionen Tonnen Brot, Obst, Fleisch und Milchprodukte landen jedes Jahr im Müll. Immer mehr Menschen halten das für untragbar - und einige tun etwas dagegen. Info
"Milch? Milch kommt aus der Fabrik." Solche Antworten bekommt Wam Kat nicht selten zu hören, wenn er mit "seinen" Hauptschülern in den sozialen Brennpunkten deutscher Großstädte zusammen kocht. Fragt er dann nach, woher wohl die Fabrik das weiße Zeug beziehe, heißt es: "Die machen die halt."

Germany has the economic strengths America once boasted
Germany with its manufacturing base and export prowess is the U.S. of yesteryear, an economic power unlike any of its European neighbors. It has thrived on principles America seems to have lost.
Every summer, Volkmar and Vera Kruger spend three weeks vacationing in the south of France or at a cool getaway in Denmark. For the other three weeks of their annual vacation, they garden or travel a few hours away to root for their favorite team in Germany's biggest soccer stadium.
The couple, in their early 50s, aren't retired or well off. They live in a small Tudor-style house in this middle-class town about 30 miles northwest of Frankfurt. He's a foreman at a glass factory; she works part time for a company that tracks inventories for retailers. Their combined income is a modest $40,000.
