Johnny Chung Lee is the guy that got famous by his youtube movies where he explained how to build a $14 Poor Persons Steadycam and cheap multi-touch interactive systems built with a Wii. Got a job at Microsoft. Too geeky and too hardware-related for me though.

Octobre 2008 report–presented by the 304th Military Intelligence Battalion and posted to the Federation of American Scientists Web site–examines the possible ways terrorists could use mobile and Web technologies such as the Global Positioning System, digital maps, and Twitter mashups to plan and execute terrorist attacks.

On Twitter:
"Twitter has also become a social activism tool for socialists, human rights groups, communists, vegetarians, anarchists, religious communities, atheists, political enthusiasts, hacktivists and others to communicate with each other and to send messages to broader audiences," the report said."
(sounds a bit incredible terrorists would use something as public as Twitter to plan their activities, doesn't it?) -
