BBC News – Vast volcanic ‘raft’ found in Pacific, near New Zealand
A vast “raft” of volcanic rocks covering 10,000 sq miles (26,000 sq km) of ocean has been spotted by a New Zealand military aircraft. A naval ship was forced to change course in order to avoid the cluster of buoyant rocks, located 1,000 miles off the New Zealand coast. The unusual phenomenon was probably the…

New word on the rise in the UK: “shonky”
As a Pratchett fan I’ve known about it for years and it seems to be in common use down-under, but “shonky” is on the uptick over here: It’ll take more than one shonky film for me to lose faith in Pixar. Besides, the Dingwalls are in it. The Counter opened serving excellent coffee on a…

The phrase that disturbs me most in this is “rogue computer security researcher”
people-staring-at-computers When Art, Apple and the Secret Service Collide: ‘People Staring at Computers’ I really wasn’t expecting the Secret Service. Maybe an email, or a phone call from Apple. Instead, my first indication that something was “wrong” was a real-life visit from the organization best known for protecting the President of the United States of…

#WiReD is butthurt that @csoghoian called them out. They’re wrong. /cc @rsingel @runasand #cryptocat
