Video Sharing website and School boys Fight

Police are investigating a video posted on YouTube, the video sharing website, that showed two bloodied schoolboys, thought to be no older than 12, punching, kicking and headbutting each other in a bedroom where toys and teddybears can be seen.
    
Police seek man behind boys’ fight on YouTube

All the time the adult cameraman, who is thought to be the father of one of them, laughs and urges them to “smack the s*** out of each other”.

One of the boys is in tears and can be heard screaming as he has his head stamped on while he cowers next to a bed.

The alarming footage is believed to have been shot in Crawley, West Sussex and was made into two short films called Lethal Fight and Lethal Fight 2, both showing the same two boys fighting.

It was uploaded on to the internet last week but has since been removed after YouTube was inundated with complaints.

Youtube and Saudi Arabia Women

Youtube and Saudi Arabia Women

A Saudi woman activist marked this year’s International Women’s Day by defying a ban on women driving in the ultra-conservative kingdom and posted a video of her act on YouTube.

In September, more than 1,100 Saudi men and women signed a petition to King Abdullah urging him to lift the controversial ban on women driving in the oil-rich kingdom, which applies a strict form of Sharia (Islamic law).

The women activist recorded the video while she drove in a deserted area in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and posted it on the Internet on Saturday to mark International Women’s Day.

Magic by Hacker

SAN DIEGO, California –

Pablos Holman, a hacker Demonstration.
 
Holman used caller ID spoofing to break into the AT&T voicemail of the organizer of the O’Reilly Emerging Technology conference being held this week in San Diego.

The hack works for all AT&T users, including anyone with an iPhone.

Holman continued on to show how Schlage locks — the kind that is likely on your front door of your house — can be quickly opened by banging a filed down key with a small mallet.

Holman used a snippet of Javascript to create a link that forced CNNMoney.com to load a modified Onion story saying that the iTunes store would soon be selling Tim O’Reilly’s home movies for $1.99 a piece.

Like any magician, Holman called for a volunteer from the audience. This one, a young man sporting a headband, also had an RFID-enabled credit card.

Holman waved a magic reader over the kid’s pocket and up popped the kid’s credit card number and expiration date on the projection screen (with some middle digits SX-ed out.)
