Yesterday we reported a lot of things that seem a little clearer today.
This is what we have been able to figure out.
The FBI did visit Dimensional Communications but where sent away because
they did not have a warrant. Disorder has been questioned but has not been
arrested. sekurity.org is currently down. Presumably all of this is in
relation to the Hacking for Girlies crack of the New York Times earlier
this year. The FBI claims that they have made no arrests in the case yet.
That's about it and even this may all just be rumors. If anyone has
anything to add let me know.

Tron (Boris Floriciz) was found dead hanging from a tree in a park in
Berlin. The question still is whether it was Murder or Suicide. The Chaos
Computer Club is planning on releasing a statement at their annual
Congress coming up next week. It is an old story but there is a little bit
of new information here and some interesting quotes.

Electrons? That's old school. Photons are where its at. Think of it, a
photon powered computer, 10 times as fast, no heat build up, half the
size, (Since you don't need bulky fans or power supplies) amazing. This
is truly a hack in the purest sense of the word.
