JENSEN BEACH, Florida - Florida investigators say a man accused of downloading child pornography is blaming his cat. Keith Griffin is charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography after detectives found more than 1,000 images on his home computer. According to a sheriff's report Friday, Griffin told investigators that his cat jumped on the computer keyboard while he was downloading music. He said he had left the room and found "strange things" on his computer when he returned. Griffin is being held on $250,000 bond in the Martin County jail. It is unclear if he has an attorney.

"It may not have beaten the likes of Australia's Telstra to the 21Mbps mark, but Rogers Wireless has still earned some pretty impressive bragging rights as the first carrier in North America to move on up to HSPA+, which (theoretically) more than doubles the maximum speeds of the current 7.2 Mbps network. According to Rogers, it'll begin to "progressively increase" download speeds starting in August, with the Greater Toronto Area expectedly first on deck to get a taste of all that bandwidth -- although Rogers does say that it'll "expand quickly over the coming months" in other cities across Canada and eventually cover the entire country. Those south of the border shouldn''t feel too glum about the situation however, as last we had heard, AT&T was "likely" to bypass HSPA+ altogether and move straight from 7.2Mbps to LTE and the ludicrous speeds it promises."

"LONDON — The British government has told civil servants: Go forth and tweet. The government published guidelines Tuesday for its departments on using the microblogging service Twitter. In contrast to Twitter’s limit of 140 characters per message, the document runs 20 pages, or more than 5,000 words. It tells civil servants their tweets should be “human and credible” and written in “informal spoken English.” It advises government departments to produce between two and 10 tweets a day, with a gap of at least 30 minutes between each “to avoid flooding our followers’ Twitter streams.” The advice says Twitter can be used for everything from announcements to insights from ministers, and in a crisis could be a “primary channel” for communicating with the electorate. The document warns against using Twitter simply to convey campaign messages, but notes that “while tweets may occasionally be ’fun,”’ they should be in line with government objectives. It also says departments should not follow...

"VIENNA -- The International Mozarteum Foundation said Thursday it has discovered two more works composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The previously unknown works are piano pieces composed by a young Mozart, the Salzburg-based foundation said in a brief e-mail statement. The website of the organization said its department of research had identified the works, long in the foundation's possession, as Mozart compositions. Mozart, who was born in Salzburg, lived from 1756 to 1791. He played piano from an early age, began composing music when he was five, and eventually created more than 600 works, ranging from operas to chamber music, choral pieces and piano concertos. The foundation declined to provide more details Thursday, saying specifics would be made public during a presentation in Salzburg on Aug. 2. During the event, Austrian musician Florian Birsak will perform the pieces on an original Mozart piano. The foundation, established in 1880 and a prime source for Mozart-related...

I rode a 20 footer like that in Hawaii on a boogie board... Dropped me straight onto the sand, and then proceeded to drench me with 3 million gallons of water... In retrospect, I'm probably lucky to be alive right now.

that might be "thrilling" the first time around, but after continually getting pounded like that i'm sure it can become a bit of a "challenge" to deal with

I think he's got the appearance down. As to the cool, logical side...who knows. The trailers of him fighting...who knows.

Meh. I have no expectations for movies* anymore. That way if they're even halfway good, I'm pleasantly surprised. *Watchmen

I hope the character goes through an internal emotional struggle the entire time. It's not going to be the Star Trek we know, but I'm still getting excited.

What Derrick said. Even so I'm not shelling out money for this heap of trash.

I will probably pay to see this on the big screen. Not 100% sure though.

I love that Alex is properly outraged by this film. :D That way I feel the fandom is still being properly represented, as I have had to take a more "wait and see" approach since everyone likes to lambast me for being so angry and blatantly negative. I think out of everyone cast in this godforsaken film, this is probably the ONLY person I've been OK with.
