Kent - armed bandits in England made away with £25m in a raid that seems eerily similar to the new Harrison Ford film, Firewall. Read the article and see the connection.
Peacefire - There are two great walls in China. One is visible from space and protects from Mongol invasion. The other is an internet firewall, run by the government, that blocks content from Chinese internet users. Bennett Haselton, and his organization Peacefire, have found a way around that. By downloading a freeware to your computer in the US and providing a link to it to those behind the wall in China you allow them to search words like "freedom", "democracy" and "Taiwan independence" - terms they cannot currently search. Cool idea.

I saw this film...a little slow and not to interesting to start with, but then Harrison Ford went on to attack mode. This film is kindof like Air Force One, just without the big plane and him being the president and stuff...
yeah, I just went to see Firewall the other night too... it was good, better than I expected (I read some negative reviews) - and now it really makes me want to see a new Indiana Jones movie!
