Scientists Worry About Impact Of Bird Flu Experimen
Nov 17th
Scientists are worried about the deadly bird flu called H5N1 which sometimes infects people. It’s never acquired the ability to transmit easily between humans, but researchers would like to know if that could happen. Recently, they’ve essentially been altering the genes of H5N1 to make the virus spread more easily between lab animals — raising concerns about biosafety and how this research is regulated.

Verizon begins collecting user data for targeted ads, is kind enough to offer ‘opt-out’ escape route
Nov 17th
Verizon still wants to collect your personal information, but it’ll understand if you decide to opt out. Really, it’s cool. No hard feelings. The provider said as much yesterday, in an e-mail titled “Important notice about how Verizon Wireless uses information.” The missive, sent to all VZW customers, essentially lays out the company’s revamped privacy policy, originally unveiled last month. Under the new framework, Verizon will be able to monitor your browsing history, location, app usage, and demographic data, all in the name of targeted advertising and vaguely-titled “business and marketing reports.” The good news is that you can always opt out of the scheme, either by phone or online. The bad news is that you’ll probably have to explain the whole thing to your grandma.
