Hackers siphoned off data from United States Postal Service servers for more than eight months before being detected, the USPS said. Personal data -- including names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, addresses, beginning and end dates of employment, and emergency contact information -- was stolen.

"Jailbroken phones aren't always indicative of a problem, but in a majority of cases there's a higher correlation of fraud than there is with normal phones," said Scott Olson, VP of product at Iovation.

That the strife has been divisive hardly can be disputed. That it's been distracting us from more important matters is the case Linux Girl would like to make today. Need an example?

Some 700 diminutive satellites reportedly are part of the pair's plans. Currently, the largest fleet of satellites is roughly a tenth of that number.
