Apparently all the news is fake right now.  I’m happy to be wrong about Russian technical experts being evacuated, my apologies, it seemed legit.

Amarynth posted about the chaos in Hebron today in Daily Chronicles.  I’ve held off posting any tweets about it, because honestly, the whole story didn’t make sense.  Anyways, the initial claim that two Palestinians wounded 6 Israeli soldiers before being killed has turned into a full-on repression.  Israel is finally making their move on West Bank?  Hmm…

An interesting follow-up to all the tech dangers I posted about this week.  The risk for techies is still there, but there has been an unforeseen side-benefit to some of these exploits:  people are hacking their personal devices that have been locked down.  TVs, music players, connected fridges, etc.  I saw some stuff saying Google is VERY UPSET.  So it’s not all bad news is what I’m saying…
