Here we have an interesting clip filmed by a cellphone wielding Muscovite looking out from an apartment window in the North Chertanovo district of Moscow. It shows a triangle formation of lights floating slowly inside a cloud bank before disappearing off into the distance. Having been filmed on a cell phone, there isn’t much detail in the clip, but the light sources appear to fluctuate as they move through the clouds as one would expect lights inside a cloud to do. Also they appear to remain equidistant, which seems to eliminate the possibility that we are seeing 3 Chinese lanterns. As far as the clip’s audio track, we can hear two voices speaking Russian. While I don’t speak Russian (coincidentally if someone does and would like to leave a translation in the comments, that would be awesome), the speakers seem to have a slightly quizzical tone in their conversation which leads me to believe they don’t understand what they are seeing. All in all, it would seem that this clip is possibly a genuine UFO sighting (baring of course that it is not a CGI fueled hoax – which in this day and age can never be ruled out when considering a YouTube video). What do you think? UFO? Chinese lanterns? CGI Hoax? Let me know in the comments. Moscow, North Chertanovo, report, Russia, sighting, UFO, video, witness |

This is just the latest in a continual stream of vulnerabilities uncovered by security researchers that allow attackers to manipulate modern voting machines to their own ends. Unfortunately this pattern is likely to continue as the public is forced to vote on machines that are manufactured by companies who refuse to make their software and hardware designs public. In a perfect world all voting machines would run software and hardware that anyone could examine for flaws. We only need to look to modern encryption to see how well public review works. By making their encryption algorithms public companies have been able to develop incredibly strong encryption and make billions in the process. Why then if public review works so well and can be so profitable are the companies that make OUR voting machines so resistant? Let me know what you think in the comments.

Once more researchers have uncovered yet another security flaw in electronic voting machines that can be used to manipulate election results. Uncovered by researchers at the Department Of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, the flaw in Diebold AccuVote machines allows an attacker to alter a voters selection as they are being committed. While the attack requires tampering with the machines, the device designed by the researchers can be attached and removed without any evidence anything was ever wrong. Worse still the device costs about $10 in parts and can be assembled by anyone with a half decent electronics workbench. The researchers also believe the attack may also be useful against other e-voting systems.|

Your aquarium is pissing off your fish, at least according to a new study by Ronald Oldfield at Case Western Reserve University published in the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science. For the study Oldfield observed Midas cichlid in a variety of environments ranging from their natural habitat to home aquariums. Oldfield found that as the size and complexity of the habitat was reduced, the fish behaved with more aggression. Responses ranged from angrily flaring fins to murder. That’s right, a poorly thought out aquarium can drive a fish to murder. While your average goldfish probably isn’t a threat to you, do you really want to take the chance when some extra plastic plants and ceramic castles could help calm the savage beast?
