Pakistan Gave China Access to Crashed U.S. Stealth Chopper
Remember that “stealth” helicopter that went down during the raid on Osama Bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan a few months back? Well, it turns out that the Pakistani government gave the Chinese military access to the downed helicopter in Abbottabad.
In other words, they got a good look at the modified Blackhawk that the United States – specifically the CIA - has otherwise been trying to keep hidden from the rest of the world.
This really isn’t going to end well.

Anonymous Hacks Syrian Military
Anonymous struck again this morning, this time hacking into the Syrian military’s Ministry of Defense website to leave a message of solidarity for protestors who have been fighting (and dying at the hands of) the regime of Bashar Al-Assad.
No word, yet, on whether this was an isolated strike or if the group intends to launch a larger offensive against the Syrian government. (We can only hope.)

Kim Jong-il Has Hackers Farming Asian MMOs
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il has a team of hackers who farm gold in several South Korean MMOs on his payroll, according to South Korean officials. The group, which pulled in more than $6 million over the past two years, answers to a mysterious agency known as Office 39. They work in tandem with South Korean and Chinese operatives.
Office 39 is believed to be one of Kim’s largest sources of illegal revenue. It engages in drug trafficking, arms sales, and other activities that have generated billions of dollars for Kim and his regime. Kim is believed to be pouring a substantial amount of it into nuclear programs.

Apple Has More Cash Than the United States
If you’ve been wondering just how bad the economy really is, you needn’t look any further than this report from the BBC. In short, Apple has more cash on hand than the United States has in its operating balance. Of course, there are several factors to consider when drawing such a comparison – but the simple fact that it can be drawn at all is scary.

Hugo Chávez Using Twitter to Govern Venezuela
Hugo Chávez, the raving lunatic otherwise known to the world as the president dictator of Venezuela, is currently undergoing treatment for an unknown form of cancer in Cuba. But that hasn’t stopped him from running his country – via Twitter.
Chavez has made several major political decisions via his account on the popular micro-blogging service in recent weeks. Surgeons removed a cancerous tumor from his body on June 20th. It’s unclear whether the 56 year old will survive at this point, however.
