Harry Markopolos

The whistleblower who detected the alleged Bernard Madoff fraud nine years ago yesterday subjected the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to a devastating public attack.

Testifying to Congress, Harry Markopolos accused the US regulator of being scared of confronting big Wall Street investors and of being crippled by internal squabbling and incompetence.

Tropical Turtle Fossil Found in Arctic

My 50 cents on the subject. (devaluation and all)

Google Latitude keeps tabs on friends' locations

Don't worry, its just a tool to get you used to being tracked. And I am sure a hacker or the FBI won't use the service for unintended reasons. The slow incremental push for the surveillance society continues.

Mouse Study Suggests ADHD Drug Might Be Addictive

The researchers, from The Rockefeller University in New York City, said the findings suggest that chronic exposure to Ritalin in high doses could prove addictive, and highlight the need for more research into its long-term effects.
