Overdue California quake greater than thought, report says
The San Andreas Fault has a bad reputation for the commotion of earthquakes. And we are overdue for a really big one. "A U.S. geologist discovered that the San Andreas and the San Jacinto faults may have ruptured together about 200 years ago, creating an earthquake that was felt from north of Los Angeles to San Diego." based on what historical data tells us. About 200 years ago, this earthquake went really far in distance being felt from Los Angeles all the way to San Diego. "The San Andreas Fault, a system that stretches more than 800 miles and is about 10 miles deep, is long overdue for an eruption." One of the seismologists says, and when this earthquake hits, it will hit the coastal line of California. So be prepared.

Court documents: FBI bugged binders to eavesdrop on Russian spy ring
The FBI has actually eavesdropped on Russian Intelligence Agents in New York City, by bugging binders with confidential information. "The covert practice was revealed in filings for the trial of Evgeny Buryakov on Tuesday, who was arrested in January 2015. Prosecutors allege that Buryakov's cover was as an employee for a Russian Bank in New York City but he actually was working for the Russian foreign intelligence agency, SVR." As soon as the eavesdropping was over, police detained the Russian spy gang and locked them up, for the Russians trying to get intelligence from the USA and transmitting the information back at a HQ in Russia.

Bear Simulator Flopped?

In 2014 almost 4,000 backers pledged over $100,00 to fund a game about
roleplaying as a bear. up until 2 days ago backers seemed happy with there investment until
The developer of 'Bear Simulator' said this: "updating the game any further is “a lost cause.”
It's a shame because the game had "mostly Positive" reviews on steam at 78 percent.
The game didnt have a great recieption, there are plenty of problems with this game making any updates now a "lost cause"
so why all the drama? One of the main reasons is because Popular youtuber "Pewdiepie" make a video on his experence with this game, and it wasnt pretty.
At the end of the video Youtube's most popular celeberty fingered "the developer" and tried to get a refund for the game.

FCC to hammer down on internet privacy

According to the FCC, they want to make it harder for companies to share either personal information or just information in general without your permission.

This rule would require companies like ISPs to ask before doing anything regarding sharing information with third parties or affiliates.

Most cable companies have already fired back saying this will lay out a path for future choices that will make everything overly restrictive.

A group of prominent US record labels have filed a lawsuit against the DIY online radio service Radionomy, who also owns Winamp and Shoutcast.

In the documents filed in a California federal court a group of Sony brands - including LaFace Records, Arista Records and Sony Music Entertainment - accuse the service of several forms of copyright infringement.

Radionomy, who also owns Winamp and Shoutcast, offer near 50,000 radio stations that are controlled by its users. These stations are broadcasted freely through a variety of sites and apps.
The record labels point out that Radionomy has failed to pay the proper licenses and haven't done since 2014. As such, they argue it is not only facilitating widespread copyright infringement, it is promoting it.

Late 2015, the record labels reached out to Vivendi, owner of Radionomy, who reportedly admitted to not paying royalties to SoundExchange since 2014. No agreement was reached on the issue.

Toddler Falls Out Of Moving Van

The shocking moment when a 2 year old boy falls out of a moving van and it is all captured on dash-cam footage. This truly terrifying moment took place last saturday in the Wujiang district in China. According to the boy’s grandfather who was driving the vehicle at the time, the van had been rear-ended in a accident that had taken place in the month before, and that’s the reason why the door popped open as soon as the van took of. “I was waiting at the red light. After passing the intersection, a car chased after me and kept sounding the horn,”said the boy’s grandfather. The grandfather noticed that his grandson had fallen out of the van and he ran back to get him. Luckily the kid didn’t suffer any injuries.
