Kidnapped Teen Finds Self On The
Internet 02/16/2004 02:51 PM
A 17-year-old who had been kidnapped from his father (who had full custody) by his mother at the age of 3, was shocked to find his own picture online and discover that he was a missing kid. It's unclear how he recognized his own picture, though, my only guess is that the picture was a baby picture which his mother had a copy of as well. The mother has now been arrested, and the teen is trying to figure out what this all means. That has got to be quite a shock to the system.

DNA Study Finds Chihuahuas Aren't Dogs

DNA Study Finds Chihuahuas Aren't Dogs 05/28/2004 01:50 AM
?As part of an ambitious effort to identify genes that cause disease in dogs and humans, scientists at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle analyzed DNA collected from 414 dogs representing 85 breeds, including some of the most popular. The findings have sent reverberations though the ranks of dog fanciers, who primp and preen their beloved companions for shows and take great pride in their pedigrees?.Among other findings, the analysis determined that the Chihuahua is actually a type of large rodent, selectively bred for centuries to resemble a canine.? I?m waiting for the study on ferrets? ;-) Please read the disclaimer before quoting or complaining. Thanks, Erin!

India freaks out over amateur teen sex

India freaks out over amateur teen sex
phonecam video 12/22/2004 01:29 AM
Xeni Jardin: Snip:

The [oral] sex clip was recorded weeks ago and passed on by the bragging schoolboy to three of his friends and eventually made its way to video disc sellers in New Delhi. It did not draw much attention until an engineering student at a prestigious Indian college listed it for sale on [eBay's Indian subsidiary] Baazee.com... it's the talk of urban India, an obsession of newspapers and talk shows. (...)

Of greater concern to many in the business community is [Baazee.com exec Avnish] Bajaj's arrest under the Information Technology Act of 2000. The law makes a criminal offense of "publishing, transmitting, or causing to publish any information in electronic form, which is obscene." But it also says an Internet provider or Web site manager can't be held responsible if he acted diligently to remedy an electronic offense after learning of it. Baazee.com maintains it yanked the sex video listing as soon as customer service managers noticed it, and Bajaj had traveled to New Delhi to cooperate with authorities.

Pawan Duggal, a cyberlaw expert, said Bajaj's arrest has serious implications, especially when Internet usage in the country is rapidly growing and foreign investors are increasingly looking to India for e-commerce opportunities. "Ultimately we have to see bigger picture. We want to increase Internet penetration. All this will only happen if you allow service providers the freedom," he said.

Hehehe. He said "increase penetration." Link (via unwired, thanks John Parres, and Prion)

Update: Fleshbot picked up an interesting/creepy angle on the story as reported by Agence France-Presse: the incident is reportedly being followed at the "highest levels" of US government as well. Fleshbot's editor asks, "Yes, the manager of Baazee.com is an Indian-born US citizen, but still. Is this the sort of case the US State Department usually gets involved in? We'd have thought they were busy with other things, like ... oh, war and stuff." Link

And reader John McCarthy says, "According to today’s Salon, Condi’s on the trail of the India phone sex scandal."

[Condoleezza] Rice is understood to have telephoned the U.S. ambassador in India, David Mulford, about the case. The Bush administration's national security advisor and future secretary of state has let it be known that she is furious about Bajaj's humiliating treatment. He is, after all, a U.S. citizen.

Link. "Appropriately enough," says John, "I had to watch a premercial for a Verizon videophone to read the full text."
