In what is being called a "a shocking invasion of the Governor's privacy," Scientology-hating hacker group Anonymous managed to break in to Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin's personal e-mail inbox, posting much of its contents online for the world to see. Palin apparently used an account with Yahoo! Mail for much of her personal correspondence, and apparently drafted some work-related ...

Sure, none of it makes any sense, but we can't shake the feeling that there's something a little weird going on here. We've received a number of tips that T-Systems -- a division of the same company that owns T-Mobile -- has got pics of some variation of a MacBook Pro that we've certainly never seen before. The appearance of a new model would fall right in line with those rumors we've been ...

Did you do any shopping at the Montgomery Ward online store anytime during the end of last year? If so, we're sorry to inform you that there's a good chance your credit card number was stolen by a group of hackers, and then re-sold online to the highest bidder. What's that -- you didn't receive a notice from the company about the leak? Neither did anyone else, because, as it turns out, ...

Usually it's the RIAA that has to worry about advanced copies of albums leaking out. This year, TV stations have been hit hard by file sharers, who have managed to get their hands on a number of TV shows that aren't set to premier until this fall.

Good news travels fast, but bad news travels faster. That's the lesson learned by the folks at NBC when news of their colleague Tim Russert's death found its way onto the Web before the network had made an official announcement. Immediately following long time political reporter and NBC News Washington Bureau chief Russert's sudden collapse on the job, the NBC News team made a decision to keep ...

Chances are, if you're in the U.S. Air Force, you're not going to be reading this today. That's because Switched is a blog (short for Web log) and the Air Force has decided that most blogs are bad -- or at least not legitimate sources of news. You may think that's an oversimplification of the matter, but tell that to the Air Force, which, according to Wired, has just started automatically ...

Though not available until this Saturday, the newest Harry Potter tome, 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,' is available for download on several torrent sites -- this according to the What Would Tyler Durden Do? blog (which also tells you where to get it). It seems someone close enough to author J.K. Rowling or her publisher to snag a copy has meticulously photographed every single page, ...

'Sicko', Michael Moore's sure-to-be-scathing new documentary about the health care industry, has been leaked onto the Internet a good two weeks before its scheduled June 29th release date. First came a high quality version -- apparently ripped from a pre-release screener DVD -- that made its way through the BitTorrent file-sharing channels. Then, two separate users posted the film on YouTube in ...
