What other thing was found on Bin Laden's hard and flash drives? P.O.R.N.

A stash of pornography was found in the hideout of Osama bin Laden by the U.S. commandos who killed him, current and former U.S. officials said on Friday.

The pornography recovered in bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, consists of modern, electronically recorded video and is fairly extensive, according to the officials, who discussed the discovery with Reuters on condition of anonymity.

The officials said they were not yet sure precisely where in the compound the pornography was discovered or who had been viewing it. Specifically, the officials said they did not know if bin Laden himself had acquired or viewed the materials.

Reports from Abbottabad have said that bin Laden's compound was cut off from the Internet or other hard-wired communications networks. It is unclear how compound residents would have acquired the pornography.

Reports from Abbottabad have said that bin Laden's compound was cut off from the Internet or other hard-wired communications networks. It is unclear how compound residents would have acquired the pornography.

But a video released by the Obama administration confiscated from the compound showed bin Laden watching pictures of himself on a TV screen, indicating that the compound was equipped with video playback equipment.

Materials carted away from the compound by the U.S. commandos included digital thumb drives, which U.S. officials believe may have been a principal means by which couriers carried electronic messages to and from the late al Qaeda leader.

Three other U.S. officials familiar with evidence gathered during investigations of other Islamic militants said the discovery of pornography is not uncommon in such cases.

I guess, after 5 years in a little room on the third floor, "Death to America" can go so far!

14 year old girl arrested after posting nude pictures of herself on My Space.

Came across this news article...

The charges could force the teenager from New Jersey, US, to register as a sex offender, if convicted.
Her arrest came as prosecutors across America pursue child pornography cases over kids sending naked photographs to one another by mobile phone and emails.
Social networking website MySpace would not comment on the New Jersey investigation, but the company has a team that reviews its network for inappropriate images.
Police arrested the girl after a tip-off from America's National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.
Passaic County sheriff's spokesman Bill Maer said: "We consider this case a wake-up call to parents."
The girl posted the photos because "she wanted her boyfriend to see them," he said.
The teen was charged with possession of child pornography and distribution of child pornography.
She was released to her mother's custody.
If convicted of the distribution charge, she would be forced to register with the state as a sex offender under Megan's Law, said state Attorney-General Anne Milgram.
She also could face up to 17 years in jail, though such a stiff sentence is unlikely.
Some - including the New Jersey mother behind the creation of Megan's Law - criticised the trend of prosecuting teens who send racy text messages or post illicit photos of themselves.
Maureen Kanka's daughter Megan became the law's namesake after the seven-year-old was raped and killed in 1994 by a twice-convicted sex offender.
She said: "(The 14-year-old) should have an intervention and counselling, because the only person she exploited was herself."

Ok...my two cents...
I don't condone what she did. She did the wrong thing, out of 'love'. Let's face it, 14 year old kids were, are and will be immature. It's up to the parents to monitor their internet activities and to explain the sexualization of the media and how it affects them, and how to protect themselves online.
This girl should be grounded and her internet privileges revoked!
Having this clear, now I level my heavy guns on the New Jersey law enforcement and the Center for "Missing" and "Exploited" Children.
Where the hell is common sense in the US? Nowhere, it looks like! Charging a kid with producing child pornography and forcing them to register as sex offenders is like issuing speeding tickets at the Indy 500 car race. It doesn't make any sense!!!
This is another example of fascist America asserting itself. The George W. Bush legacy of lunacy is alive and well in Obama's America.
The Center should be looking for "Missing" and "Exploited" Children and saving them, not be looking at My Space. Let My Space police itself! Since when a non-profit became a law enforcement agency? Since it's not about saving children, but the acquisition of power and the expansion of a police state at the expense of our civil liberties.
Max out!

You want to have a more active brain? Use the Internet!

Yup! As you have read! People that use the Internet have more active brains...

Read the excerpt...

For middle-aged and older people at least, using the internet helps boost brain power, research suggests.

A University of California Los Angeles team found searching the web stimulated centres in the brain that controlled decision-making and complex reasoning.

The researchers say this might even help to counteract the age-related physiological changes that cause the brain to slow down.

The study features in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry.

As the brain ages, a number of changes occur, including shrinkage and reductions in cell activity, which can affect performance.

It has long been thought that activities which keep the brain active, such as crossword puzzles, may help minimize that impact - and the latest study suggests that surfing the web can be added to the list.

So there! The Internet is not only for porn, it's actually good for you!
