The Netherlands
As more people reveal their whereabouts on social networks, a new site has sprung up to remind you that letting everyone know where you are -- and, by extension, where you're not -- could leave you vulnerable to those with less-than-friendly intentions. The site's name says it all: Please Rob Me.
Launched last week, Please Rob Me is exceptionally straightforward. Pretty much all it does is show posts that appear on Twitter from a location-sharing service, Foursquare. Please Rob Me puts these posts into a long, chronological list it refers to as "Recent Empty Homes."
Tony Judt in the New York Review of Books Blog:
Sidney Mintz in the Boston Review:
Johann Hari in CommonDreams.org:Discarded Idea Three: Climate debt. The rich world has been responsible for 70 per cent of the warming gases in the atmosphere – yet 70 per cent of the effects are being felt in the developing world. Holland can build vast dykes to prevent its land flooding; Bangladesh can only drown. There is a cruel inverse relationship between cause and effect: the polluter doesn't pay.
Amy Rosenberg in The National:
Apple's iPhone isn't only gaining fast on the company's U.S. turf, but sweeping across the international market at an amazing pace, according to the monthly Mobile Metrics report from mobile advertising network AdMob on Friday. The application-rich and user-friendly handset gained an astonishing 350 percent in market share in Japan this year and 300 percent in France.
While growth in North America was considerably slower at around 100 percent, AdMob, a division of Google, said that was likely because of a larger existing user base at the start of the year.

The tip came from another country's law enforcement officials: Eight major banks in the U.S. were being targeted by cybercriminals operating there.
FBI agents fanned out that night to warn the branches that hackers were aiming to break into their computer systems. The banks were able to spot the attempted breaches, and block them, FBI officials said.
