      That's kind of misleading.

      They were recalled because they MAY have contained tissues that are known to be hosts to CJD. But there were no signs of CJD in any of the cows.

        Another plane lost. Air Algirie, flying across the Sahara desert to Algiers. Doesn't sound like terrorist related, just maybe lost in a storm.

          Sounds like there is some concern about terrorist activity, since it was flying right over some hotbed in Mali, but people don't think that those terrorists have the arms to take down a jet. I wouldn't completely count it out, until there is evidence to the contrary.

                  I was in Toledo yesterday. People were losing their minds in Kroger.

                      Kroger, not WalMullet. And even more so than usual.

It was an interesting experience- you never expect something like that to happen, especially so close to home.

                          I'm not sure which thread is the right one for this information.

                          To the extent that a new threat of having one's computer or smartphone get hacked would be considered headline news....

                          USB devices such as mice, keyboards and thumb-drives can be used to hack into personal computers in a potential new class of attacks that evade all known security protections, a top computer researcher revealed on Thursday.

                          Karsten Nohl, chief scientist with Berlin’s SR Labs, noted that hackers could load malicious software onto tiny, low-cost computer chips that control functions of USB devices but which have no built-in shields against tampering with their code.

                          ....

                          Computers do not detect the infections when tainted devices are inserted into a PC because anti-virus programs are only designed to scan for software written onto memory and do not scan the “firmware” that controls the functioning of those devices, he said.

                          ....

                          Once a computer is infected, it could be programmed to infect all USB devices that are subsequently attached to that PC, which would then corrupt machines that they contact.
