Google, Apple remove malware application from official app stores

Google and Apple removed a mobile app named Find and Call from their respective app stores on Thursday following reports that it was stealing people's phone book data and using the information to spam their contacts. The app had been available on Google Play since at least May 21 and on Apple's App Store since at least June 13. Those dates are when the app's Android and iOS versions were last updated, said Denis Maslennikov, a senior malware analyst at security firm Kaspersky Lab.

Finding seen as a key to universe

GENEVA, Switzerland - Scientists at the world's biggest atom smasher hailed the discovery of "the missing cornerstone of physics" Wednesday, cheering the apparent end of a decades-long quest for a new subatomic particle called the Higgs boson, or "God particle," which could help explain why all matter has mass and crack open a new realm of subatomic science.

Rico Gordon murder trial: 'I saw man fire gun in street'

A "GUN gesture" was made in a packed Bristol pub shortly before a man was shot dead in the street, a jury heard.

Nicole Broom told Bristol Crown Court she and friends came to the city on the evening of last year's St Paul's Carnival, and she saw a man indicating he had a gun in a crowd Rico Gordon had been with in the packed Coach House pub.

Miss Broom said that, later, she saw a hooded man in the street, who fired several shots from a gun.

She described how she and her friends were in an Audi car and they ducked down as they sped from the scene in Stapleton Road. They returned to find a fatally-wounded Mr Gordon, 21, who received a ricochet bullet to his head and died at the scene on July 3 last year.

Two men from London are on trial. Shakah Anderson, 31, denies murder and possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life.

Rickel Adams, 27, denies murder, possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life and two charges of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

Miss Broom said she travelled from London to Bristol in a red Audi with four friends, including Mr Gordon's sister, Calita. She said she saw her cousin in Bristol, who was with Mr Gordon and others.

She told the jury: "He was a bit drunk and happy."

Miss Broom said after she saw the confrontation at the Coach House she saw Mr Gordon in the street and he walked up and joked with her.

She then described how a hooded, "creeping" man appeared, holding a gun and shooting across the road.

Miss Broom crouched down and held her ears as the car she was in quickly drove away. When they returned, they saw Mr Gordon's body on the ground.

Princess Adams, Rickel Adams' aunt, said she drove an Audi belonging to Rico Gordon's mother to Bristol with four friends.

She also described an apparent confrontation between two men in the Coach House.

Later, she said, one of the men in the pub confrontation passed by her car, as she sat in the driver's seat, and he and another man opened fire on a crowd opposite before they ran off in different directions.

She told the court that her police statement, that someone in the crowd fired first, was not correct and said she did not see Rickel Adams in the pub or on the street. She insisted she was not trying to protect anyone.

The case continues.

The Big Fish of Botafogo Beach

A big message in more than one bottle? The fish jumping up from the sand at Botafogo Beach in Rio de Janeiro appeared in time for the Rio+20 U.N. Conference on Sustainable Development last week in the Brazilian city. They are made of plastic bottles, presumably to convey a recycling theme. Regardless, they are stunning -- and they light up in the dark. Here are some pictures of the fish by day and by night. -- Mary Forgione

Fire Ants Ruining the Party?

Ouch! This is what fire ants can do–in no time at all!  Download the article, “Fire Ants: An EMS Perspective,” by Dr. Brian Bledsoe. Click Here A storm was on its way. I saw a loose tree stake in the yard and so before the wind whipped it through a window, I went out to put it in the garage. Recovering from double-pneumonia and a head injury (a story for another day), I was as slow as molasses getting outside–but I was faster than the Roadrunner getting inside to help myself! (If that was even possible!) As a carried the stake, my hand felt like lots of little things were [...]
