Alleged Russian spies used WiFi and pre-paid cellphones, got caught anyways

Posted by Ry on Jul 05 2010 | Technology

Are the new crop of Russian spies nerds like us? We doubt it (we probably have more in common with Lil Wayne than a certain "Anna Chapman," if that is her real name). How do they do their dirty work, then? Apparently their kit is mostly off-the-shelf: including laptops and flash memory cards. According to the FBI, two of the recently accused perps would meet at a coffee shop in Manhattan every Wednesday, where one would sit inside, while they other passed by in a van. When in range, they would connect over WiFi and transfer encrypted communications over their network. (The FBI was able to sniff this out using commercial software. Had they used ultra-wideband radio, however, the investigator's task would probably have been all but impossible). It's also believed that the spies used pre-paid cellphones to communicate. One such unit, purchased by Chapman, had the following listed for her address: 99 Fake Street. It just goes to show you that all the gadgetry in the world will not protect you from your lack of common sense.

In Honor Of The 4th: Pizza, The American Way

Posted by Ry on Jul 05 2010 | Cool Stuff, Interesting News

McPizza.jpg In honor of celebrating America's independence yesterday and my being released from jail without having to spend the entire night (4 AM), here's a pizza made the American way. What's the American way? Try two McDonalds cheeseburgers, an order of nuggets and a box of fries, all covered in a delicious layer of melted cheese. Pfft, and you thought the hotdogs you grilled yesterday were good. Your taste buds don't know shit about deliciousness! Hello? Who is this? My heart? Haha, what do you mean you're attacking? Attacking wha-- GAAAH!! Hit the jump for a photo-tutorial of the pizza-making process, along with a mandatory shot of the pizza with a firearm (U-S-A!).
