Twitter?s Mobile Site Now Uses One-Third Less Bandwidth 0
Twitter just announced an update to its mobile site that is meant to bring it up to par with the new version of Twitter the company introduced in December. According to Twitter, the idea behind this update is to “give every person on the planet a consistent Twitter experience.” Because of this, the company says, the new version of the mobile site now uses one-third less bandwidth than the previous iteration and should work significantly better on feature phones, older browsers and low-bandwith connections.

Matthew Fox Arrested For DUI 0
Another celebrity has been busted for driving drunk. This time the culprit is Mathew Fox, who was busted for his second drunken incident in the past year. On Friday Fox was picked up by the police in Oregon for allegedly driving drunk. As you may or may not know the actor lives in Bend, Oregon with his family. According to TMZ he was arrested around 3:30 am on Friday. He was booked and released later that day. The website is also reporting that there was another passenger in car. The details surrounding what actually went down haven?t been released yet. There are reports that he was on his way to get some sort of late night food, maybe McDonalds perhaps but again that is just speculation at this time. A rep for the Lost star has not confirmed or denied anything about Fox?s arrest. As I stated above this is the second drunken incident for Matthew in the past year. If you recall he was arrested back in August when in a alleged drunken rage he punched a female bus driver in her breast and crotch area. He was never formally charged with anything because prosecutors felt that there was [...]

Facebook Messenger update makes it even harder to blow people off 0
Your friends just don’t get it. While they’re still bumming around in Nikes, dorms and doomed relationships, your life has recently become more serious. That’s why you sometimes need to hide from their constant, mindless barrage of messages, and also why you probably won’t install the newly updated Facebook Messenger app v1.7. In line with FB’s “mobile first” strategy, it debuts key new functions on iOS and Android, including instant and compulsory “seen by” read receipts as well as optional “sent from” notifications. So, in addition to knowing how aloof you’ve become, they’ll be able to track you down and slap your face.

US drone attack kills 8 in Pakistan 0
By NBC News and msnbc.com staff
Eight?suspected militants?were killed in a?U.S. drone attack Saturday in?northwest Pakistan, intelligence officials said.
A Pakistani security official on condition of anonymity told NBC News?the drone had fired four missiles and struck a compound in the forest-covered Dre Nishtar area of Shawal valley, a remote part of North Waziristan.
“Shawal is an area where militants from different countries had gathered and set up their sanctuaries,”?the official said.
He said mostly tribal militants, Punjabi Taliban, Afghans, Arabs, and Chechen and Uzbek militants have training camps in the area and often suffer losses in the drone strikes.
The strike Saturday was the second American drone operation in Pakistan this week.
Pakistan: Attacks are illegal
Pakistan’s government of Pakistan condemned the attack in the strongest terms, NBC News reported.
“Pakistan has consistently maintained that these illegal attacks are a violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and are in contravention of international law” a Pakistan Foreign Office spokesman said in a statement.
“It is our considered view that the strategic disadvantages of such attacks far outweigh their tactical advantages, and are therefore, totally counterproductive,” he added.
Last month, a U.S. drone strike killed four suspected militants in Pakistan’s North Waziristan tribal region, despite the recent demand by a Pakistani parliamentary committee that such operations end.
The unmanned aircraft?can be remotely piloted from hundreds or thousands of miles away.
The U.S. campaign of drone strikes to kill militants in other countries is legal under international law, President Barack Obama’s counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, said last week.
‘National self-defense’
Brennan cited legal opinions from the administration, the U.S. Constitution and the Authorization for Use of Military Force passed by Congress after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
“As a matter of international law, the United States is in an armed conflict with al Qaida, the Taliban, and associated forces, in response to the 9/11 attacks, and we may also use force consistent with our inherent right of national self-defense,” Brennan said.
“There is nothing in international law that bans the use of remotely piloted aircraft for this purpose or that prohibits us from using lethal force against our enemies outside of an active battlefield, at least when the country involved consents or is unable or unwilling to take action against the threat,” he said.
Pakistan closed its Afghan border crossings to NATO supplies last November in retaliation for American airstrikes that accidentally killed 24 Pakistani soldiers. The government also kicked the U.S. out of a base used by American drones.
