Today's Story Highlights

Pinning Down the Matter/Antimatter Particle Just Got Easier
Researchers led by Princeton University physics professor Ali Yazdani
have developed an easier way to spot the much-sought-after Majorana
fermion. "Theorists have proposed that Majorana can emerge at the edge
of some superconductors as quasi-particles, and manipulating them can be
used to test their properties as well as building interesting quantum
systems that could be useful," Yazdani said.

DEA Lifts Woman's Identity, Creates Fake Facebook Page
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency reportedly co-opted a woman's identity
to create a fake Facebook page as a ruse to investigate suspects. The
agency posted racy pictures of the woman, then known as "Sondra Prince,"
as well as a photo of her young son and niece, to the sham page. The
photos were taken from her cellphone, which DEA had seized when Prince
was arrested in connection with a drug ring.

community is full of [assh*les], and I probably more than most others am
one of their most favorite targets," Poettering added. "I get hate mail
for hacking on open source. People have started multiple 'petitions'
.... asking me to stop working.
