Today's Story Highlights

FBI's Most Wanted: A Social Media Monitoring Tool
The FBI wants to keep its eye on social media users, according to a job
post that invites software developers to submit applications capable of
mining sites such as Twitter and Facebook to identify possible
threats. The post can be found on FedBizOpps.gov. The bureau has a
detailed list of requirements for the app.

Scientists Close In on Invisibility Cloak

Herman Cain, and a lot worse than getting him on Nov. 28. That was,

matter of weeks. And those charges were but part of the Cain saga. There
was also the Nov. 15 Libya gaffe...

Privacy Advocates, Businesses Dig In for EU Lobbying Campaign
Both privacy advocates and representatives of businesses that handle
consumer data are flocking to Brussels. Why? The EU has proposed a
strict set of new data privacy rules that would restrict companies such
as Facebook even more than they currently do. Facebook, et al., have
descended on the city in the hope of softening some of the restrictions,
while privacy advocates are there to keep the EU on its intended path.
