Media Hype: Families STALKED WITH CELLPHONES!!


We're not trying to say that the Today Show/traditional media is fearmongering with this "cellphones are stalking the crap out of this family" story, but we had to change our underwear twice while watching this minute and a half clip.

They're also breaking into voicemail and leaving threats about raping and killing the daughter. This happens even if the family changes cellphones, apparently, so whoever's doing this is a hardcore hax0r the likes we haven't seen since the first Scream movie. – Jason Chen

Boy, have times changed. More »

Stalking 101: Hack the Nike+iPod Sport Kit

A couple of scientists at the University of Washington managed to build a small scanner that could read the RFID signals that the Nike+iPod sports kit puts out. The range on these Nike devices are 60 feet, so it would be very easy for the right geeky person to track your every move.
