Nightly Open Thread

Office prank goes way too far.

As far as I know, the bear was not alive and was, in fact, stuffed…but I could be wrong. Either way, NOT the sort of thing you want to find in the next cubicle!

The evolution of the mobile phone!

It’s kind of neat to see how mobile technology has progressed since the Gordon Gecko days, although I have to admit that I am still not a fan of 3D projection mapping.

So apparently, under US law, emails in your account that are older than 180 days are considered “abandoned”, and so can be read by authories without a warrant.

Methinks this is an area of US law that needs to…er…catch up with modern technology and concepts like “the cloud”. Also, I should totally go back and delete all those old emails in my account with suspicious keywords.

Funny (yes, really) video: Who is the world’s worst environmental villain?
