Bill would force cops to get a warrant before reading your e-mail

Last fall we wrote about how easy it probably was for the FBI to get the e-mails it needed to bring down CIA chief David Petraeus over allegations of infidelity. Under the ancient Electronic Communications Privacy Act, passed in 1986, the police can often obtain the contents of private e-mails without getting a warrant from a judge. A bipartisan group of legislators has introduced a bill to the House of Representatives to change that. The bill would require the police to get warrants before reading users’ e-mails in most circumstances and would also repudiate the view, advanced by the Obama administration last year, that the police can obtain information about the historical location of your cell phone without a warrant. The new legislation , proposed by Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and supported by Reps. Ted Poe (R-TX) and Suzan DelBene (D-WA), would extend privacy protections for both e-mail and location privacy. “Fourth Amendment protections don’t stop at the Internet,” Lofgren said in an e-mailed statement. “Establishing a warrant standard for government access to cloud and geolocation provides Americans with the privacy protections they expect, and would enable service providers to foster greater trust with their users and international trading partners.” Read 2 remaining paragraphs | Comments

Paleobiologists unearth camel remains in Canadian Arctic

When Canadian Museum of Nature paleobiologist Natalia Rybczynski dug up what turned out to be camel bones in a High Arctic ridge in Canada, she recalls thinking: “This is something kind of off the charts.” She was right. Those bones belonged to the first camel ever found in the High Arctic . “The humped creatures once roamed in forests that extended as far north as Ellesmere Island 3.5 million years ago during a global warm spell that the scientists say holds important lessons for the modern world.” [National Post]

Microsoft comes to its senses, allows Office 2013 to move PCs

In a substantial regression from the terms offered for Office 2010, the original Office 2013 license died with your PC . You couldn’t install a retail copy of Office on a new PC, even if you removed it from the old one. But after much public outcry, Microsoft has relented . The Office 2013 terms and conditions are being updated so that transfers are allowed. You’ll be allowed one transfer every 90 days unless the transfers are due to hardware failures. (In that case they can be made immediately.) The change is effective immediately, but it will take some time before it trickles out to the activation servers. If you’re transferring Office 2013 to a different PC and activation fails, you’ll have to call customer support. Microsoft insists that the support people know the score and will be able to activate you manually. Read on Ars Technica | Comments

US Forces Will Soon Be Shooting DAGRs

Hellfire II missiles are accurate and powerful, but expensive. Hydra 70 rockets are relatively cheap but unguided and far less accurate, which increases the chances of incurring collateral damage. But by combining a Hellfire’s guidance and launcher with a Hydra’s warhead and propellant, Lockheed has created a deadly new hybrid in the Direct Attack Guided Rocket (DAGR). More »
