A total of 16 people with ties to the "hacktivist" group "Anonymous" were arrested by the FBI on Monday. Fourteen of them were charged in connection with an attack on PayPal, which was targeted by "Anonymous" because the website suspended the account of WikiLeaks after it released classified State Department cables.

The arrests, the Justice Department said, took place in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Florida, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico and Ohio. The indictment against them was unsealed in federal court in the Northern District of California.

Facebook is like a phone provider that gives you all you want as long as you call people using the same provider. So, for a while, you tell all your friends to join. Then, they find another, better provider, and they leave, taking you with them. This is what caused the death of MySpace by Facebook, and before that, the death of ICQ by MSN messenger.

It breaks my heart that a project I did for fun, on the side, and out of pure love and dedication to the source material ended up costing me so much — emotionally and financially.

Two of Color’s photo-sharing competitors, Instagram and PicPlz, exemplify the lean start-up ethos. They started with $500,000 and $350,000, respectively, and teams of just a few people. As they have introduced successful products and attracted users, they have slowly raised more money and hired engineers.

Color, meanwhile, spent $350,000 to buy the Web address color.com, and an additional $75,000 to buy colour.com. It rents a cavernous office in downtown Palo Alto, where 38 employees work in a space with room for 160, amid beanbag chairs, tents for napping and a hand-built half-pipe skateboard ramp.

This is what you should be fearful of, not us releasing things publicly, but the fact that someone hasn’t released something publicly. We’re sitting on 200,000 Brink users right now that we never gave out. It might make you feel safe knowing we told you, so that Brink users may change their passwords. What if we hadn’t told you? No one would be aware of this theft, and we’d have a fresh 200,000 peons to abuse, completely unaware of a breach.

You have a hundred trillion of these guys in you right now. Before you were born, you had hardly any.

Back then, you were floating in amniotic fluid, protected, sanitized. Bacteria kept their distance. Until you slipped down that birth canal, you were pretty much spic-and-span.

Then came your birthday, and all of a sudden, you were invaded. From the delivery, from the doctor’s hands, from the first meal at your mother’s breast, from your older sister who kisses you (or, if no one’s looking, spits on you), from everyone, from everywhere came an army of bacteria that moved in and stayed.

Matt Cherette — Last night, CNN’s John King moderated the first Republican primary debate of the 2012 election season. High on theatrics, like King’s stupid "This or That" questions for each candidate, the debate had many critics.
