Highlights from this morning's other big tech headlines....
  • The cell phone and dangerous radiation debate typically pits scientists against the wireless industry, with the government rarely taking an official stance. San Francisco, under the leadership of pioneer Governor Gavin Newsom, is attempting to become the first U.S. city to require all cell manufacturers to disclose the radiation levels emitted by its phones.

  • It has taken over eight months and four million views, but the FBI has reportedly finally nabbed the pirate who illegally uploaded 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' to the Net. Authorities arrested 47-year-old Gilberto Sanchez yesterday, and the charges could result in a three-year prison sentence and a $250,000 fine, although he might not have actually been the source of the leak. [From: CNET]
  • Airline Internet access has been a topic of discussion for several years, and it appears that Continental is finally getting on board the Wi-Fi express. Beginning next year, the airline will offer in-flight Wi-Fi service for $4.95 and up, depending on the duration of the flight. [From: Engadget]
  • Apple won a nearly comprehensive legal battle against poseur Psystar last month, and the case finally came to an official end yesterday. A California court ruled that the Mac-cloner is expressly forbidden from basically having anything to do with OS X. [From: Engadget]
  • Intel is attempting to mount a viral campaign with an ad featuring supposed scientists who rocket out of cannons and into bells in order to reproduce the Intel chime. The ad is definitely a sham, and while fake viral videos are incredibly lame, at least it's not as disturbing as the guy who caught laptops with his butt. [From: Huffington Post]
  • The Olympics ended long ago, and China is steadily returning to its totalitarian methods. The nation is currently blocking individuals from registering personal Web pages, and is also reviewing millions of already established pages in a heavy-handed censorship campaign. [From: CNN]
