Bill Watterson, the reclusive cartoonist behind Calvin and Hobbes, has created a new comic.

In an interview, Watterson said he drew his latest comic without text in order to break any language barriers. “Telling a story only in pictures is one of the great strengths — and greatest pleasures — offered by comics,” Watterson said.

The announcement should come as no surprise. Last year, the MPAA urged theater operators to crack down on movie piracy with the use of night-vision goggles, security cameras, and low-light binoculars. The MPAA's "Best Practices to Prevent Film Theft" also urged theater operators to perform "random bag and jacket checks" of patrons and to "look for the unusual."

The theories of evolution and the Big Bang are real and God is not “a magician with a magic wand”, Pope Francis has declared.

The Catholic Church has long had a reputation for being anti-science – most famously when Galileo faced the inquisition and was forced to retract his “heretic” theory that the Earth revolved around the Sun.

Adobe has tweaked its Digital Editions 4 desktop ebook reader to now encrypt the data it secretly sends back to headquarters detailing a user's reading habits.

Earlier this month it was revealed that the Digital Editions software was collecting large amounts of information about the books it was being used to read, including the title, publisher, and the time and order every page was read in.

FBI Director James Comey upped the ante on Oct. 16 by proposing that Congress change the law it passed about 20 years ago, titled the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, which gives law enforcement access to electronic communications.

The FBI wants to change all that by requiring companies such as Apple and Google to provide back doors so that law enforcement can read whatever is on your smartphone at its convenience.

After the company tried to level the pricing of e-books across the board to $9.99 (£6.28), Hachette, backed up by authors such as JK Rowling, Malcolm Gladwell and James Patterson, objected.

Amazon squeezed the publisher by delaying delivery of its books - sometimes by weeks.

"In its pursuit of bigness, Amazon has left a trail of destruction - competitors undercut, suppliers squeezed - some of it necessary, and some of it highly worrisome," he writes.

A brief cell phone video shows a New York City police officer using pepper spray on a man and his sister after they complained the cop had taken more than $1,000 during a stop-and-frisk search.

The officer then reaches into Joye’s pocket and pulls out a handful of cash, and smacks his face and calls him an “asshole” when Joye asks him to return the money.

Joye’s sister confronts the officer as bystanders accuse him of robbery, and the cop blasts her with pepper spray when she identified two numbers on his badge.

Adobe is gathering data on the ebooks that have been opened, which pages were read, and in what order. All of this data, including the title, publisher, and other metadata for the book is being sent to Adobe’s server in clear text.

As for the legal aspects, I am still unsure of just how many privacy laws have been violated. Most states have privacy laws about library books, so if this app was installed in a library or used with a library ebook then those laws may have been violated.

It is thought to be the most extreme example of a trader in financial markets inputting hopelessly wrong figures while working under intense pressure.

Gavin Parry, managing director at Hong Kong-based brokerage Parry International Trading, said: “It’s not rocket science that there was a fat finger here, but it reopens the questions about accountability.”

Companies now spend an inordinate amount of time figuring out not how to beat their competition, but how to prosper from tricks and loopholes their accountants find buried in the law.

In 2004, Congress approved a tax amnesty on offshore cash, but the $300 billion repatriated did not go to investment or growth, but mostly to stock buybacks and dividends to goose share prices.
