NYPD creates social networking unit to pick perps, not poke them

You’ve heard of the Special Victims Unit, but what about the Social Networking Unit? The time has come for criminals dumb enough to boast about their exploits on Facebook and Twitter to pay the proverbial piper

Caption Contest: Bakebot learns to actually bake things, feed the looming robot army

Aww, look! Bakebot’s soooo cute ! He’s actually cooking things these days, thanks to MIT grad student Mario Bollini, who recently upped the creature’s skill level in an effort to grab more calories with less effort. Little did he know, however, that teaching a self-contained machine how to feed the future uprising wasn’t exactly the best long-term move.

Triple Decker Oreo Signals Man’s Progress Toward Superhuman Destiny [Omg]

What would it take to make the Oreo—perhaps the most architecturally perfect dessert, ever—look like garbage? Another layer of cookie.

Disconnect browser extension keeps pesky cookies in check, blocks third-party tracking requests

Internet Explorer 9 may block ‘em in 2011 , and the US government’s on the case too , but you don’t have to wait for Microsoft or bureaucracy to keep your privacy paramount if you browse with Rockmelt or Chrome. That’s because former Google developer Brian Kennish just released Disconnect, an extension for either one, that banishes Digg, Facebook, Google, Twitter and Yahoo tracking requests (more companies are on the way) as you make your merry way across the web. Install and you’ll find a nice little “d” icon on your browser’s status bar, with a drop-down menu exposing exactly how many requests you’ve blocked from each service, and the option to manually disable blocking at will.

FTC wants to fight tracking cookies with other cookies, create delicious sugary warfare

We’re not sure that fighting fire with fire actually works outside of the metaphorical realm, but don’t let us tell the FTC how to do its thing. The federal body, which recently told Google ” it’s all good ” after the company apologized for stealing people’s private infos , is now asking for social networking sites and browser developers to create a sort of “do not track” cookie system. If this cookie was present the sites would not capture a user’s browsing habits and not deliver customized ads, a cookie that would be created and enabled by a simple browser button

LG Cookie Fresh GS290 Review

In the old days pay as you go phones were cheap, cheerful and do everything required out of a phone one would need. They text, they ring.

Android team’s Morrill discounts Gingerbread rumors

Eldar Murtazin has a pretty decent track record when it comes to smartphone whispers, but his Android 3.0 Gingerbread morsels yesterday are now at odds with someone a bit closer to the dough — namely, Dan Morrill, Android’s Open Source and Compatibility Tech Lead (yeah, that’s a bit of a mouth full). Here are a few highlights from his Twitter feed tonight: “I love it when people just make stuff up” (sarcasm, obviously), “rumors are not official announcements,” and so on. Sure, he could just be playing coy here, but for now, this is more or less the final word on the matter — until either Google or the rumor mill heat up again, of course
